“Aye, There’s the Rub!”

In talking things over with Dr Hebert, he thought that he could scope the knee and clean it out a little bit, but it probably would not make a profound impact at this point. In terms of my training, cross-trainer machines are OK, Biking is OK, and walking is OK. He thought that any type of pounding from running or plyometrics would expedite the wear and tear of the cartilage that is left. The good news is that it looks like I won’t be an immediate candidate for knee replacement surgery, but probably will be looking at that when I am in my 60’s.

I have to say that today is the best my knee has felt in a few weeks. What all of this means that if we have a ‘third half’ after the Metropolis B squad game this weekend, I think I will try to get a run in and play. It would be my last chance for getting a run in, because the weekend of October 18th, my wife and I will be out of town and will miss the B-Squad game against the Minneapolis Mayhem. I will try to work as a medic for the B squad game against St. Cloud and hope that there will be enough people to do a third half.
