.....curved balls!!

survived my first race of the 2010 season.....
survived 9 days of awesome skiing in the wasatch mountains.....
went for a run in battersea park with chobe on tuesday night and....
i think i have torn the cartilage in my left knee!!!

hmmm.....seems familiar territory......arrrgggghhhh!!

could barely walk on wednesday
saw sam 'my' physio on thursday
am off to see 'my' knee surgeon mr sweetnam on tuesday
(i feel a song coming on!)

on top of which chobe went down with some stomach bug and was vomiting and squirting around the flat for most of last week, poor girl! she woke me up in the middle of the night, so i knew there was a problem. i hobbled while she squatted, it must have been a funny site at 2am, i was still half asleep as i walked her down by the river......i then had her in the vet being fed and watered intravenously before bringing her home again as she couldn't hold anything down. anyway, it gave me time to clear the place up before the carpet was being fitted on friday morning....good timing i guess = ))


knee no longer looking like a balloon and i can walk on it quite well now, so hopefully damage is only cartilage........can i race this saturday?

What a bugger!

After making it through extremem sports liek dirtbiking and ski-ing to have it go whilst running! - I never knew Battersea Park was so gnarly!

Hope the prognosis isn't as bad a you may first fear (and that you 'RICED' up well - rest, ice, compression, elevation and something else!)

I don't think I'll be raxing this weekend as I my project at work is 'Going Live' this weekend, but let me know if you go.

Cheers
