Subject: RE: Creepy Clowns Team ThreadSOOOO . . . you may or may not know that I have written several threads about my stupid knees. And what to do about them. And my dr.s (I think I enraged some other dr.s . . . oooops ). Long story short, I have to get knee surgery. My MRI showed that my left knee cap is totally out of line. It is tilted and overhanging the other bones (whatever those are ). So, yeah, I am getting knee surgery Nov. 7. I won't be able to "train" for three months. But, supposedly, this will fix my pain and be a miracle--as long as I do all the PT correctly, etc. Ah! I am actually kind of scared, but my knee hurts no matter what I do now and my Dr. was said there was NO way I should be running or doing a triathlon at all. I mean, I wake up with my knee aching and it hurts whenever I do any kind of exercise. If I keep going the way it is, it will eventually rub all of my cartaladge (sp? ) away. So . . . any encouragement? Successes? So I am still going to be keeping track of diet on here. And I am going to be keeping track of physical therapy and strength training, but it's going to look like I am totally slacking on training for about three months. But I kind of don't have an option. I will do as much as I can. But I want a super-awesome recovery. Anyway, so there was the explanation. And, just to note, the Dr. who didn't do the MRI said that I should just go out and run. Good thing I got the expert opinion, huh? |
