After too many days of forced rest (left knee from the bike fall still bruised and right tendon still swallen, STILL SWALLEN! and wound on left knee still open) today my class was canceled and instead of studying like I should have done, I went to the swimming pool and my friend Lindsay, who is a stud swimmer, gave me a lesson with some great pointers on how to swim better. It is so hard! But I really think she helped me out a lot! Friends rock!

So, since the tendon hurts when I run, walk, go down stairs, and bike, I'll be doing the swimming pool for the next week or so. Then I'll start with the bike again for 5 more days, and then try running... Let's hope for the best. Work and school are keeping me busy, so maybe it's a good thing that I can't exercise.

Happy running my friends!

Off to the doc... 2 weeks after my last fall and my knee is still very swallen, not painful but soft and warm - probably bursitis (fluid trapped on the knee cap)

Burt, you wanted pictures?

The right knee scar is from my fall in October when I broke my jaw... The left knee is the one I bumped badly against the concrete two weeks ago.
