So... How damn long has it been? 34 DAYS? I swear it feels like it was yesterday/forever ago. :noidea:

 

Week 1.

- Deep pain consistently (4 Vicodin/1600mg NSAID a day)

- Unable to move the knee, in immobilizer at night.

- Unsure of diagnosis...

- Back to work on wednesday in a wheelchair.

I don't know if you understand how big aircraft hangars are, but I wasn't going to break a rib "crutching it."

Week 2-4

- Deep pain with movement (800mg NSAID) Lessens everyday

- Movement upgraded to 90 degrees. Still no stability. 30% weight capable. Side to side movement extremely painful. Gradually gets better.

- Orthopaedic doctor said "torn meniscus, give it 6 weeks"

- Wheelchair-bound but able to do my job well. Wheelchair helps with stretching.

- PT 3 days a week 20min/20min Stationarycycle/Ice/shock therapy for an hour

- I love my jacuzzi... Swimming slow laps in the pool also.

Week 5

-Light Pain, No prescription pills, OK movement. Learning to walk.

-Friend suggests Glucosamin Chondrotin supplement. Sure.

Today

-Went for a light jog up and down my driveway (200ft). Full weight. ZERO knee pain. I tore the calf muscle where it attaches to the knee. This has been the only pain I have anymore. I walked into work tonight without aids.

 

So. In conclusion. Thanks to everyone who wished me well. I am confident I will be back in action in another month. I'll certainly be riding the gsxr in a week or two... :smirk:
