| A woman in the locker room told me I was her role model because of how fast I moved on the elliptical. Lol funny to me, but maybe she saw me before knee surgery. Nice to give someone an incentive to move faster. |

| So to the new physical therapist. He says what is your goal. I say to run again and if not that to hike fast. He says you realize the doctors orders are for non impact therapy. Yep. He says that he'll try to do as I wish, but he'll first try something like the elliptical before running to see how I respond after doing some strength stuff, ultrasound, etc. I didn't say anything about the elliptical that I'm logging here. Did mention the bike. Do I own up on Friday? Thought about not going to the gym today, but my mental health needed it. |

| Significantly slower pace, 10 mpm. Knee didn't hurt too much while I was exercising, but a lot after. Was going to the store, but scurried home to ice my knee. |

| So saw the doctor today. The stitches came out.
I was the only one of his recent surgery patients who was not a happy camper. He was happy with the amount of swelling and redness. Got a cortisone injection for the Synovitis since I can't tolerate Motrin etc. The knee already feels better. PT is on order but, of course, I can't get in for awhile. And I have a month to wait to see if I need to start on hyaluronan injections.(Hope not) I am still very concerned about the other knee that has been bothering me more. He gave me no good advice about that. Do I sound depressed or what? Trying to imagine a better week coming up. |

| Surgery is over, back at home, only really need cructhes because I'm a little wobbly, otherwise I can put all my weight on it. The tear has been shaved. But other bad news is grade III arthritis (whatever that is) plus some synovitis (sp?). He is already talking about the need to put some fluid (don't remember the name) in the knee joint ( I think other orienteers are doing this). I asked how often? He said once a yr. I wonder if arthritis is the problem in my other knee. I'll talk to him on Fri. the 13th :-) Throat is sore and getting more so. Peter is being a fantastic nurse--running around getting everything I need! |
