At this point I would have to say no.
If I am honest, it was not to be from the word go but there was a lingering hope that I would be walking by now.

I actually only managed to ride home from Antony's by leaving it in third gear. When I did have to change gear, I had to hook the top part of my foot under the pedal and jerk my knee up, resulting in the bike wobbling each time.

Despite standing up and limping around straight after the off and for the rest of the day, the swelling and pain kicked in in the evening and no walking since.

Disappointed? Massively
Annoyed? Undoubtedly
Preparing for the next round? Definitely
