NO TEAR!!!  The MRI didn't show any damage to my knee at all.  There is still some fluid and swelling but it has gotten a lot better in the last few weeks.  I do have instruction to not run on it for the next 6 weeks.  Its going to be annoying not being able to run until then, but at least I don't have to have it scoped.

Chad glad to hear your knee is not too messed up. I haven't been following the blog lately - what happened?

From Chad on Tue, Feb 01, 2011 at 17:03:11 from 168.177.153.5

Don't know. It just started hurting after playing basketball one morning. No specific event during the game that would indicate an injury. This was way back in mid December. I tried running on it a couple of times but it really swelled up so I went and saw a doc.

So, how's your foot?

From ryandla on Tue, Feb 01, 2011 at 17:46:38 from 66.29.163.1

right foot surgery was in October - still hurts pretty good. left foot surgery was december - 2 more weeks of the boot and then I return to normal shoes on both feet. I will start physical therapy later this month and hope to be running sometime maybe early May. Until then hopefully doing a lot of biking. Get that knee better - take care!

From Chad on Tue, Feb 01, 2011 at 17:53:42 from 168.177.153.5

I'd forgotten that you were doing both feet. Ouch. Good luck and let's hope we will both be out there in the next few months.

How are ya feelin?

From Chad on Mon, Feb 14, 2011 at 11:41:44 from 168.177.153.5

You know Kelli, I don't feel any better than I felt 3 weeks ago. Half way through this 6 weeks I thought there would be some progress. My knee still swells up at times and just doesn't want to hold me up when bent, like going up and down stairs.

It sounds like you're doing better though. 22 miles on Antelope Island sounds fun. I've always wanted to run out there.

From Kelli on Mon, Feb 14, 2011 at 22:45:04 from 71.219.84.215

That really stinks, I am sorry to hear that!!! Injuries just suck.

How's the knee now? Have you been xtraining?

I hope the doc gives you ok to run soon, just in time for good weather runnin'!

From Chad on Mon, Mar 07, 2011 at 11:03:03 from 168.177.153.5

Hi Smooth. I don't know what to think about my knee. I have an appointment with my orthopedist on Wednesday. It was 6 weeks ago that he told me not to do anything involving impact for 6 weeks. My knee is better than it was 6 weeks ago, but it isn't healed. I don't know how it will hold up on a run. I feel like I could put some miles on it, but I don't know how well it would recover. I hope I'll find out soon. I just don't want to make it worse.

As for xtraining? Nada. I like running and getting up for an early run is fun. I can't say the same thing for ellipticals, weights, pools, etc. Those feel like work to me so laziness takes over and I don't get up early for those. I need to, and my waist shows it. (10 lbs since Sept.)
