Went to bed at 5:30 last night.  It is wonderful to finally feel rested!!!

1 hour on the elliptical, then shred level 1 followed by strengthening exercises.

no problems with the knee until I was doing the jump rope & butt kicks.  Sucks.

MRI follow up with Dr today.  Looking forward to good news.  or any news

****************************************

Correction:  maybe I was to just looking forward to good news. As is, I got too much news & not sure what to think of any of it.  I just want to run.  7-10 more days for referrals to go through, then waiting for 1st available appointments after that.  No end in sight. 

Here's the laundry list of things that are wrong with my knee: 1) horizontal tear involving the superior aspect of the free margin of the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus. 2) moderate intrinsic mucoid degenerative signal abnormality of the posterior medial meniscus 3) mild splaying of the tibial attachment of the anterior cruciate ligament consistent with minimal mild ACL partial tear/sprain 4) 4-7mm intercondylar notch cystic fluid collection (Baker's cyst) and a 2 cm Baker's cyst.  5) moderate intensity 2cm bone bruising of the inferior patella. 6) mild proximal patellar tendinosis. 7) mild irregularity of the patellar cartliage.

Not much of that makes sense to me.  PT and Orthopedics referrals in. 7-10 days for insurance co to put referrals through, then I can call & make appointments.  This is going to be a long road.

Long run looms large on Sunday.  Don't want to throw in the towel, but not sure any other option is a really good one at this point.

Don't kick your butt with a bad knee!

Good luck with the news! Glad you got some good sleep in (it's nice to be able to go to bed early AND in the dark!).

Burt- better to kick my own, than to go out & kick someone else's.

RAD- thanks. the news is posted. I'll send you more info on email. It's 6:20 and I'm ready for bed again.

I'm still thinking the 3-legged race is our best option :)

RAD- thanks for the smile- you know I kneeded (ha ha) it.

Let it rest. Let your body recuperate. Does it look like you might need surgery? I'd be just as happy cheering people on in my pirate costume at OBX. I'll hang with you!
