Shoot Me … Please Shoot Me Doc!

I had my 3000 mile check up with the Orthopod. There are three options for the knee –

  • Replacement Surgery
  • Live with it
  • Get a shot and wait

I took the easy way out and went with the shot. After all it is race season. The shot was fairly quick and painless. I am to take 5 days off from running. Time to get back in the pool!

The Doc cautioned me that inactivity is the worst thing I can do. After the 5 days, I need to get on a strict weight routine for the legs. Rock hard Quads are needed to put off further damage.

Umstead is only 11 day away. Oh well at least one knee will feel good.
