Long Time No See
Hi.
It's been a while.
This might be the last Fix My Knee post... at least for now.
A few things to update. First, I had an appointment scheduled with Dr. Nestor at the beginning of April that I missed. Forgot. Totally slipped my mind. Terrible, right? Nope, I think it's pretty freakin' great, actually. Because I'm not preoccupied with my knee anymore! I don't have pain at all, and only a little stiffness sometimes. I'm completely active again - this week I did yoga on Sunday (with David!), a spinning class Tuesday, weights yesterday, and this morning I jogged a little. (Jogging's a little harder, and my knee is sometimes a little hurty.)
I did reschedule the appointment with Dr. Nestor, and saw him two weeks ago. Pretty much nothing to report... He's happy with my progress, and I can return to regularly scheduled programming now. He did mention that I could stop wearing the brace except for new activities, which I thought was a little funny because I haven't worn it since December. Shh.
But before that: I'm going to do a triathlon! I signed up last weekend with Team In Training, run by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Training starts mid-May, and the race is on September 26th. It's Olympic distance, which means .9 mile swim, 25 mile bike, and 6.2 mile run. I'm so psyched. I'm also going to be fundraising, so watch your mailboxes for those letters.
I'll probably start a training blog, and when I do, will post the URL here. For now, though, it appears Fix My Knee is on hiatus. Thanks everyone for reading, I couldn't have done it without you.
