Training Log Archive: Bomb

I think I over did the walking yesterday - my left hammy is feeling a bit sore - I have to do a funny walk because my knee won't bend enough so I end up limping even though I'm trying not to.
I should probably be resting more so that it gets better faster. I can't wait till I can run or ride again - I'm going nuts not being able to train!

visited the surgeon today. says my knee is progressing well. saw some pics of the surgery - lots of other parts of my knee? and some of the space where the cysts were. surgeon was really funny - it was like he was going through his holiday photos - tour de knee!

he said the cysts were on the front of the meniscus and not related to any tears (which is good - but doesn't know why they turned up), and that the lumpy bits were a bit over 3cm! yuck!!

I've ditched the walking stick today, and I can walk up stairs almost normally (still a bit unco getting down them though).
I think I'm also going to ditch the bandage today and get one of those elastic tube thingos so I can move my knee a bit more.

knee is heaps better today - the swelling is going down (icing every couple of hours) and I can now bend it to 90 degrees quite comfortably.

Knee is feeling pretty good - much better than I expected (and better than it did before the operation). I last took some painkillers about 6pm last night (its now 11) and I'm getting around fine. I can even balance on the dodgy leg! Yay!

Knee surgery! I had my arthroscopy this morning and they removed a cyst about the size of a marble from the meniscus.
Feeling ok now - just a bit woozy. The knee feels ok, and I can walk around (slowly) fine (although this may have a fair bit to do with the painkillers).

I think I might go and have a nap now.
