Running? What is that? I don't remember ever doing any running... maybe it's something I did in a previous life...

A few hours after the doctor drained my bursitis last Friday, it was all back. The doctor didn't tell me to wrap my knee tight or anything... I should've done that... I iced it and kept it wrapped tightly throughout the weekend and yesterday, but it looks exactly the same today. So frustrating... I called the doc and she said to make an appointment with my orthopedic surgeon to maybe get a cortizone shot. I'm going to give it a few more days - I leave for Argentina on Sunday anyway, so I won't be able to take care of it before then. I've been reading a lot about bursitis, and it seems that in most cases it goes away within a week... so I still haven't lost hope.

I had my class midterm yesterday and I did alright, I think. It looks like I won't be wasting my money this semester after all! That's a big plus... Now if I could only run!!! Or bike!!! Or swim!!! It's amazing how much we rely on our knees for everything... I am stuck doing some abs workouts, but even for some of those you have to use your knees!!!

45 min swimming pool. Boy am I a bad swimmer!

I'm starting to get used to my new friend that lives in my knee. I may try to name him... any ideas?

Here's a funny one for us runners - who hasn't had a dream about running?
