Ouch, that slipping accident sounds painful and frustrating!

As for staying off my injuries... but, but, the weather JUST started getting road-bike worthy, and the MTB trails JUST dried up, and I gotta move back to a flat ole place with nowhere to ride next week!

No worries, my brace collection is all open-patella and intended to aid tracking. I got the black brace with extra straps, the summery Tensor sleeve (all open patella, ow-ow), and of course, the under-the-knee strap. Oh, I am fully equipped and have the residual tan lines to prove it!

I should probably switch the kneely-stool for the yoga ball (chair? What is chair?)... and I guess (-GUESS-) stay off my feet so a) the good-but-worse-for-now knee can heal and b) the bad-but-better-than-the-usually-good knee doesn't recess into any of its old habits.

Can't afford the chiro anymore--horse's chiro bit into those funds and he's worse off than me. Always wearing the orthotics and running/cycling have helped the correct muscles develop, though. I haven't ever regressed back to the state I was in when I first started seeing the chiro.

Thank you for the advice--I am about to start a hot date with some Ibuprofen and an ice pack
