Had another physio appointment today. Result was good - the physiotherapist says that I should be good to start judo again in January. In the meantime, I'm to continue the exercises I've been given. But that's no problem.

I do have some remaining tightness in that foot, but overall I'm feeling pretty good. Very happy about all this.

I will of course be wearing a brace and taking it as easy as possible. But yes! Judo in January, hooray. Likely will doing 2 classes per week only; 3 was definitely pushing it. Undecided whether I'll do 2 instructed, or 1 instructed and 1 open mat. We'll see.

Ahhh I'm so excited...!

I'll be honest - I'm so relieved! It'll be nice to be able to go to class again. :D

I understand that you may not want to discuss it; but how did you get injured? I just mangled my knee and I want to commiserate. (Feel free to disregard my nosiness and/or reply in dm.)

Someone caught me in a footsweep and I landed very badly! Not entirely sure what happened, but the doc I went to at the walk-in the next day thought that I sprained a tendon. He suggested I rest for 6 weeks.

And then instead of resting, a few days later I went on a 2-week vacation and walked several kilometres every day.

So... I probably would have been able to return to class much sooner if I hadn't done that. /facepalm

oof, was it your ankle? 6 weeks is a long time.

It's kind of like, the broad, upper part of the foot where the ankle and the foot connect. Very weird place to injure.

I'm honestly just glad that it wasn't worse!

100%, "glad it wasn't worse" is very relatable.
