I got together with an old friend, Jeff, with whom I worked at both ADI, where we met, and Yoyodyne. Both of those gigs were quite some time ago, but we’ve kept in touch.
In an odd touch, after not speaking for quite some time, I found out that Jeff has started to ride. Naturally, we spoke of plans to get together last September… which naturally never happened.
Because of a a fluke email, we were in touch again the other day and found that we had this Sunday free (in the morning), and promptly made plans to ride. We knocked out 30 miles along the North County trail riding from Eastview to Yorktown, caught up on all the personal and business news, and had a grand old time.
Things were going swimmingly well until I got home lugging my heavy bag up the stairs when I felt a painful twinge in my right knee. Oh No! Oh Yes! It’s time for the *other knee* to start acting up again. My knee stuff started with the left knee, about a year and half ago. I took it really easy, etc. and it healed… but even as it did the increased effort and the imbalance caused me to damage the right knee, and I’ve been working on getting that one healed ever since. Finally it seemed like I was making progress as I’ve been riding pain free, although there’s still some weakness. Now this.
I trying to keep a positive outlook since this tweak didn’t happen on the bike, and feels a bit different than previous, that it is a new and temporary thing. Walking around doesn’t hurt but stairs do. We’ll see how it feels tomorrow. I’m rather fed up with this knee stuff I must say, and I hope it doesn’t wreck my season.
Now back to RICE’ing my knee.
