Physically speaking...

I thought I'd been using the elliptical machine in the exercise room at 7:30 a.m. over the weekend, but I guess that was when I started my workout in my apartment.... Because when I went down to the exercise room at 6:30 a.m. today, I discovered that they don't open the door till 8 a.m. And I have to be at work at 8:30. Rats! I prefer doing exercises in the morning - I'm usually too tired after work, or too eager to do something else, and more likely to skip it.

I did spend 20 minutes on the elliptical machine at the rehab centre. The physiotherapist, Debbie, says I've got 5^o of motion in my ankle now, 8^o being normal. That's what, 65%? It doesn't feel like that much: I'm still walking awkwardly and slowly, and limping. Debbie says I'm at a 'plateau' and if I keep doing the exercises, I'll get over this. She says I'm still losing muscle tone in the back and hips by not walking, and told me to do the Bridge every day. No problem. I like the Bridge. (I'd forgotten its Sanskrit name: Setu Bandhasana.)

Now I'm back at work and my ankle hurts. Grump.

Looking for a beta-reader...

Is there someone here who could or would beta a Torchwood story I'm writing? It isn't quite ready yet, but soon will be.
