Bacon Butty

The over past couple of weeks, I’ve been residing between Bath and Bristol resting my knee before moving back to the smoke at the end of the week and perhaps best explains the randomness of this post.

As part of my knee rehabilitation I have noticed a slight increase in the amount of Bacon Butties in my diet. The cause of the increase I put down to the bi-monthly physio sessions which seemed to be followed by a Bacon Butty in the hospital canteen. The irony of getting a bacon butty with 6 rations for £1.50, which is pretty much a pack of Bacon is not lost on me as numerous nurses, doctors and consultants dash in getting breakfast. I even took part in a failed attempt to visit the regionally famous Top Nosh cafe in Kingswood.

Anyway today I took the short walk along Bristol docks to visit a childhood memory Brunels Buttery. I’m not to sure how young I was when I visited but the Bacon Butties were big with chunky white bread, coffee served in glass mugs and seagulls flocked to the smallest crumb. I’m glad to report nothing appeared to change for me, therefore below is a photo of my bacon butty from this morning.

Over at chrisherring.co.uk I’ve put some changes to the minor design live, plus new case studies of projects I’ve worked upon over the last year. I’m struggling a little to finish off the case studies from University as I’m meant to have my knee high above my head for most of the day with a bag of the finest frozen peas resting upon it. Who would have thought that sitting at a desk was so obviously, well the physio noticed due to some knee swelling.

Knee reconstruction

Way back at the very start of June I suffered a complete anterior cruciate ligament rupture to my left knee in a very similar fashion to Michael Owen although no playing England. Fast forward to 10th Nov and I had finally got round to have a knee reconstruction. As I write all is going well with the knee, and am able to hobble for a could five minutes.

Below are some photos from inside my knee, admittedly I haven’t a clue what they show but should fine out at my next appointment.

Update: The picture on the left shows the Menisci which is in perfect condition while, on the right my anterior cruciate ligament has been reconstructed with part of my hamstring.
