Knee Injury Update

Permalink 01:24:32 pm, Categories: My Run

Ok, a few weeks back I reported knee problems. I blew it off, and hoped to suck it up. Well, that didn't work out so well. Went to a Doc today at the Commonwealth Sports Medicine clinic and it seems I may have a "Damaged" meniscus. That has caused me to put more strain on my right knee where my IT band is rubbing and getting sore.

Drained fluid, hooked me up with a cortisone shot and in 2 days, I'll be good to go. Start slow, physical therapy each week, do my long runs on a zero gravity treadmill at half my weight and get me back to where I can actually run the 1/2 marathon in 3 weeks!

Also, here is my last real plea: My wife and I are working hard to raise over $10,000 together. If we do, then all the money raised will go directly to AML research. We are not even half way to our goal. If every person who sees this donates the $52.00 minimum we are seeking, we will hit our goal! You can donate any amount you would like, and corporate matches are encouraged.

And as always, your donation is Tax Deductible!

Thank you, and please help us help find a cure!
