I travelled down to Southampton at the week-end to meet up with John and Susan - and my 'La Manga' friends. It was a delight to see them and we had a lovely lunch together.
Can I outline at this juncture my phenomenal courage in attending this function. As I made everyone there realise, I was suffering from a severe dose of bubonic plague, exacerbated by the fact that it felt 10 degrees colder in Southampton compared with Edinburgh.
It begs the question - should you keep going when you have 'something', or should you rest up for six months and become a doughnut king / queen.
With tennis related injuries which force you to stop playing, the modern approach is to maintain your strength and cardiovascular conditioning by doing something else. Then getting back to playing will not be such a shock to the system. My personal belief is to get back on the court as soon as possible - but pay attention to your body's signals.
To stop you suing me, if in doubt always consult your GP, physio, trainer, mother-in-law or other medical expert.
You will be relieved to know that my bubonic plague has been downgraded to Man Flu.
Pass the Night Nurse!
