Happy Monday: Broken nose and knee injury

All in all very good news. Yay!

Whew, no surgery, no tendon or ligament tears. Yep, could be worse. Arthritis happens to most/all of us. I've got it in my big toe joints, lower back, and probably other areas as well. But I walk, run, ride, and do yoga, all within the limits of my abilities. Glad the brace feels good and that you'll be able to get back to your training!

They sent my MRI report directly to me, which is nice. It also means that I fell to the temptation to visit Dr. Google and wish I hadn't.

How could I avoid it though? I mean, sentences such as this:

Extensive patellofemoral disease with broad regions of high-grade chondromalacia laterally.
Prominent notch spur effaces the ACL. Notch synovitis
Medial cartilage thinning (grade 2-3) - no medial meniscal tear (whew)

Ok, perhaps it is no mystery now why landing on that knee in my fall had...repercussions. And why I can no longer run. Why most of the cardio machines hurt my knee. And...

On the OTHER hand, I had a great 37 minute intense kettlebell workout this morning that felt great. So my coach had to change two of the exercises in the kettlebell circuit to prevent pain - but I was able to do it without holding back. I will take it!

That is GREAT news! Go Catrin!
