DL "highly recommended" that I have a doctor look at my knee. I had the appointment yesterday. I even took them a copy of a page from one of my books so that I could show them exactly where I hurt myself (I'm know... I'm a dork). But Lindsay (the PA) even referred back to it a couple of times. She did pretty much the same tests that Travis (my massage therapist) did and she seemed to be impressed that he was so thorough. Results: no ACL, MCL, or meniscus issues. It is a bone bruise that will take 6 weeks to heal (I'm already at 4 weeks) and, due to the trama, I have developed a little bursitis. She prescribed a topical anti-inflammatory so that I don't have to keep taking ibuprofren and upset my stomach (even though that never happens).
And because Lindsay appreciates that I am such a dork, she gave me a 16-page document describing "Pes Anserine Bursitis". Yeah, I read the whole thing.
For a while, I must still limit my activities in the way of squats, deadlifts, box jumps, etc. But running is absolutely no problem!!
Today is Tim's birthday. I took him out to lunch (Evo's - don't tell Meredith). And I'm taking him to dinner tonight. We're going to Cafe Berlin, his favorite little German restaurant. I guess we'll be having wiener schnitzel. And he could never have that without one of their great German beers!
But before dinner - I'm off for a run!
Tell Tim we said "Happy Birthday".
