I went to an Orthopedic Surgeon yesterday for an eval of my knee problem. He said it could be a torn meniscus or a problem with the kneecap itself. An MRI will be done tomorrow. I just want to keep walking to lose this darn weight! I can't imagine having to need surgery and then be sidelined for 6 weeks or longer. I haven't walked for 2 days and am itching to get back to it. The longer I stay out, the harder it is to get back to it--both with the legs and the lungs for the uphills. I am a little upset by this but I know taking care of the problem should be first and foremost. I'm just bummed, literally! I just need 6.25 miles....
Well, against doctors orders I went for a little walk today . Switched up my route quite a bit to keep it flat instead of hilly. Had to wear my heavy duty knee brace but I did 2 miles. I'm counting 2 for today, 45.75 for the month, just 4.25 to go. Thanks for the sympathetic ear Christina
Looks like everyone is committed to reaching their goals. Good job guys!
My knee brace is doing wonders for me. I snuck in 2.75 miles yesterday then 2.75 today. I do believe I've passed my goal! 51.25 to date. Now I can rest
