Orienteering at Cascades. Did the red 8 - the W65 course. It was great to be out in the forest again, and I even managed to jog little bits on the bare rock! yay!! hopefully not long till I can run properly! made it round without making any mistakes... I was a bit worried about getting bored and losing contact going so slowly, but fortunately I managed to stay focused and didn't get beaten by the W65s!!

spin around the assembly area at the 24hour mtb race - cos I could!! yay! looking forward to going for a proper ride soon!

collected controls after a schools orienteering session I organised this morning. I've got the knee-bend thing back in my walk, so getting round without limping now. I can even walk quite fast without any discomfort. yay!
lots of ice afterwards to make sure my knee keeps getting better.

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.
