A few months ago something snapped in my knee. I’ve been babying it and not doing as much exercise as I would like, though I didn’t give up BodyPump. It was doing pretty good until Christmas day. I did several days of the elliptical to prepare for the feast and something just SNAPPED even bigger than before and now I am screwed. I even went to the doctor on Friday to get the ball rolling in whatever direction it needs to roll. Physical therapy? Surgery? I don’t know.<\/p>\n
I got an x-ray done and a referral to an orthopedic guy. I don’t have an appointment with him until next week, so I’m just trying to wear a brace and stay off it. The primary care doctor didn’t think it was the tendons. It feels like it is something under my kneecap, so maybe damaged cartilage. I just hope it is a physical therapy kind of fix and not a surgical fix. Though can physical therapy fix cartilage damage?<\/p>\n
I am feeling all kinds of panic about what this means for my exercise schedule. If I can’t move, how can I burn off this fat? I need to get very, very serious about my diet. I have a wedding to officiate in March. I would like to lose a minimum of 20 pounds by then!<\/p>\n
I want to talk to the orthopedic person sooner rather than later to find out if I can go to BodyPump and just skip squats\/lunges. Though I’m not sure when I would be able to start that since I can barely walk at the moment. I wonder if swimming would be ok? Our community college has a pool with a decent priced membership, though it would mean I have to go after Mike gets home from work since they don’t have childcare. Or! Maybe I could go during Elsa’s preschool. That would be perfect! Maybe I have a solution! But first I need to talk to the doc and find out if that would even be ok.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
