The View from 58-inches High

On Friday Brian and I attended my company’s holiday party. The theme was “The Roaring 20’s”. I was so excited I actually bought a dress for it. We sat with my team this year which was good. I have kind of avoided them in the past because I haven’t felt like forming relationships with them but this year I felt like I could bridge that personal barrier. The wives were all really cool and it made me feel even better that we sat there. We ended up leaving early because Brian didn’t want to stay and I couldn’t exactly do much.

Over the weekend I upped my game on the spin bike. I was supposed to limit myself to 45min of spinning a day. She had recommended 15-min 3-times a day but I wanted to do 4-times a day. I told her I was doing 11-min 4-times a day and she recommended that I do 15-min 3-times a day then move to 18-min 3-times a day. Since I was actually already doing 15-min 4-times a day, I upped it to 20-min 4-times a day. This might have been pushing it, but I always looked for signs and I did slow down or make it easier if I needed to.

Tomorrow I see the ortho again and I’m going to push for an MRI. I’m really concerned that if I have an MCL tear, I could be in rehab for it for a long time when prolotherepy is an option. I’m also really concerned that my knee is clicking too much. She keeps saying this will go away as I get stronger but I can’t get stronger because my knee clicks anytime I try to do anything. I’m very frustrated.
