Big thanks to the fine folks over at GIKK Orthopedic Specialists. I had my knee treated yesterday and Linda got hers today. I’ve got left knee torn medial and lateral meniscus resulting from the dog attack last May. Linda has right knee medial meniscus tear from running. I’ve had both knees scoped previously, Linda’s first knee issue.
I was pretty insistent going in that the old trim job was just what I needed to get me back on the roads. Things have changed though. Surgery is the last option instead of top of the list. Cortisone shot now batting lead off. If 24 hours are any indication, with outstanding success.
Linda will be able to run again, but likely never at the USA Masters National Champs level. I’ll be able to go for the occasional jog with little to no ill effects. Running’s final gift for all of our service and dedication to the sport.
