No need to apologise Irish. Have been doing the hot/cold thing this morning and will continue to do so until Friday, thanks. I'm working today and tomorrow, but off Weds for the RJP session at Aus House, and Thursday so will rest up properly.

It's not like there is enough pressure on us all, but my daughter is having her tonsils out, plus grommets and adenoids sorted on Friday, probably be in theatre about the time I'm in the interview, 8am!!! What to do for 4+ hours after the interview and before the fitness test? Don't want to be walking around London, I want to rest with no strain on my Achilles, and chill out!!!

Anyone else up there on Friday?

Indous

I'm doing the fitness yet tomorrow too. I'll be the one breathing out of my arse and crawling over the beep test line!

Good luck everyone though!

Oh nightmare just keep thinking that u could have great news for her coming out of theatre and that should push U on

On the day get the deep heat on it, and if possible one of the wrap round bandages that feels band aids (no idea what they are called!) I used them for a full season in footie with a bad pull to my quad. No laughin matter after each match when the bandage came off but hey it got me through at the time!! If u have any swelling get iprobrufen into u but make sure u eat first as it can be pretty harsh on an empty stomach!

Thanks, I've just ordered some of the tape, Kinesiology or something like that!! Will be rubbing the deep heat on first then wrapping ankle, lower calf. Getting some iprobrurufen gel for the next couple of days too! Don't want to eat too much just before the fitness test, but as I'll be on a train at 6am, I'll have to eat sometime!

The wife will be with my little girl, and we went through it with our son, but it will be hard not to think of her having the op! Wife is very supportive and telling me not to think of our daughter, just to nail the interview and fitness. After all, it's for all of us that I'm doing this, so like you say, it'll be an incentive to push on and do the absolute best I can.

Thanks again Irish

Irishcop

U will be fine. It's obvious that u want it so much. Also don't forget that the all important adrenalin will be flowing so hopefully that will ease the pain a wee bit, then u can celebrate with a wee beverage after to numb it! All the best for the fitness and I hope the op goes well for ur daughter one week tomorrow and I'll be doin my fitness too!

VikkiShields
