MRI's

New set of MRI's this morning. My second opinion ortho wants to see if things are improving. It's been about 3 months since my last MRI.

He suspects wear and tear on the bottom of the femur are the culprit. My knee is FINE. I'll meet with him next Tuesday to discuss the results.

In my mind I'm already shifting. Starting in May I'll be riding the Bionic Runner and walking in between. No running for the near term.

Second opinions

I'm going to get a second opinion on my knee and femur today. I've been consistently walking every day. If I take ibuprofen I feel little discomfort. Mostly NO discomfort. I'm thinking about acupuncture as an alternative way of stimulating healing of the femur.

I threw in two one minute slow jogs during my 70 minute walk yesterday. I ran on the grass on the edge of the soccer field ar WVC. No problems so far.

I think I tried to come back too early and too fast in February. It's April now. Three months and some since my knee injury. I'm hoping that if I climb out of this real gradually I might run again.

Bionic Runner should be showing up in late April or early May.
