We were out mtbing at our fave spot (same place they're holding WA's 12hr event) just getting some practice runs in...Weeeelllll..i managed only 5k's...I'm not sure exactly what happened. I was going around a bit of bush, i must of looked the wrong way & ended up falling on a rock..right on my kneecap...
I thought "ow" & then looked down to see quite a bit of blood running down me leg...I had nothing to stop the bleeding & had to keep going. (This track does "eventually" run parallel to a fire road but knowing me i'd go the wrong direction & get completely lost...In addition there are never tons of people out there..) I biked as much as I could & walked alot as well....Ran accross another rider who just happened to have a wad of tissues on him...he must have passed ian & told him i was a bit hurt. (What made it worse was i was swooped by birds again but i just growled...)
When ian finished his lap we cleaned the wound a bit & ventured to the A& E...Ended up with two stitches & a tetanus shot..
I am now sitting at home with my knee bandaged up & annoyed that I can't bike or run..for a whole week...I can hardly walk on my right leg...I'm going to go crazy...
What can i do to make my knee heal properly?
Oh pooh...

Oh no CC thats bad news - your poor knee and being swooped by birds too - those pesky birds, cant be long before their nicer manners return, those baby birds must be grown up soon.

Rest up and let your knee heal your bike will be waiting.

Are you anywhere near Cottesloe?

You could have a sit by the sea at the Indiana Tea rooms and just relax enjoy the ocean view, the sunshine and sip something nice.

PS After writing this I realize its years since I have been home - Im assuming the Tea Rooms are still there.
