Me and the troublesome right knee took ourselves to the hospital today. I had to brace myself for bad news but it ended up just about okay (phew!!!)
I turned up, ready for yet another telling off which believe me Hairy Rich has been at me for not doing strength work on the weights for the last year. Anyway I went in and the curtains were closed. I was then instructed to remove my trousers, socks and shoes. I felt very uncomfortable at this point not only did I look silly but I was wearing the worst mustard coloured Calvins known to man. A Dutch lady, quiet nice (looked like she was going to put me in a head lock at first) told me what I already knew... Patella Tendonitis! So what does that mean.... PAIN!!!
So what next, I said the bike ride... can I still do it? She said its my call and realistically I'm not going to solve a long term injury in 2 months. I'm going to have to manage this so carefully and judge it week by week.
So basically I'm going to continue!!!! Its put up and shut up from me and my stubborn head has prevailed. If I have to use my arms to pedal instead of my legs then I will!
Does anyone want to sponsor my knee for Zoe's and give it a name? suggestions would be great
