    @Holly Saunders that could be corrected non-surgically if the patella dislocation is not bad, but if it is bad, surgery can either fix it or remove the kneecap altogether...unless you will be playing football or hockey.:)

    Well that's good news about it being able to be repaired non-surgically Don..! Would that be the PT who did that..or who? I don't think it's bad enough to be removed tbh, otherwise I doubt I'd be able to walk at all, so hopefully the former will be the way to go...

    There are procedures in which it is pressed into position from the outside, similar to the reverse of whatever caused it to be displaced. Your PT may be familiar with it, but it would be up to your consultant as to whether it will be suitable for this to be done. Otherwise, it is either arthroscopic surgery, or, if worse comes to worse, open surgery, but I hope it does no come to that as recovery is much longer and the risk of infection is always present.

    Nothing much to report here in St.Petersburg my second home, though we did make a day trip to nearby Finland last Friday, it was only to get a stamp of validation on Lisa's European visa.

    The day was a long one and we spent a lot of it on the bus or at the border control, we walked around the shops and spent a couple of hours in the excellent Lebanese restaurant I think I have mentioned on here before. Lappeenranta is a typical border town, and only really exists to serve Russian day trippers who buy food and other goods there that can't be bought in Russia, it has become more popular since the EU sanctions came into force which prevent Russia from importing foodstuffs. It is set in beautiful surroundings but there is nothing to see there apart from large hypermarkets and lots of shops including a good shoe shop which Lisa has used for decades.

    Here a few photos, it was cold at -5c with a lot of snow, but not too bad really.

    The bus which had passengers of all ages though half of were babushkas, some of them earn a bit of pocket money by making the trip to buy goods for other wealthier people in St.Petersburg, who pay them a small sum plus the coach fare for their trouble. It's less than $10 for the return trip of 180Km

    We had the lunch of a mixed thali including a soup, salad and coffee afterwards for $10 a cheap day out really.

    Thank you @Terry Page for pictures and checking in. You and Lisa try and stay warm.
    Another cold bleak day here, nothin like Russia or even up north from here.
    But it is normally 64 this time of year and again today may not make it to the freezing mark.
    Just boring ...I need sunny days for survival puroses :)

    Good morning all..



    It's 7.30am..the sky on one side of the house is blue and on the other side is grey.. o_O...hopefully it's going to be a sunny day

    Yesterday I was in the city in heavy rain... not the greatest joy ever.. but fortunately I got some much needed medical tests done, then we did a little city shopping which I love .. and then we had a lovely lunch

    Today, I won't be going anywhere if I can help it, except maybe the garden..

    have a good day folks...

    Yesterday was the first day in which the high exceeded the freezing mark; it got up to 33 F. yesterday. Our beautiful bright Sun is gone, but the temperature is warmer. Snow is supposed to be on the way, but one can never tell for sure. I spent yesterday hauling trash to the transfer station, and transplanting several hundred tomato plants into larger containers.

    It being International Women's Day, today I took Lisa out to lunch at our favourite Georgian restaurant, the sun was shining and it's a lot warmer in the upper 40s f

    Women's Day here is a very important celebration, so roses are handed out in restaurants and presents are given from from students to teachers.

    So on your special day I raise my glass to the superior gender [​IMG]
