Knee Update

So I went to the orthopedist on Wednesday. Of course by Wednesday my knee was no longer hurting. I was tempted to go for a run to make it bad again so the doctor would see it but since my appointment was across town at 8:40am I didn't really have time. Anyway, he moved my knee all around and pressed on it and took an xray but couldn't find anything. I could have told him that! Even when my knee is so painful it hurts to walk I can still press on it and not find one spot that hurts. I figured it wasn't a bone problem so there was really no need for an xray but I went through the process anyway. In the end he told me he didn't see anything but gave me some pills to take for 2 months and told me no running for 2 months. I can bike and swim. Since our pool is so small that trying to swim for exercise is out of the question my other option is bike. I do not have a bike. Well, actually I should say, I don't have a bike here since my bike is back in the States. Jason and I have talked about getting bikes for a while so this might be the reason to finally get around to it. At any rate, I will take a little bit of time off from running but hopefully not 2 months. I am hoping i will back to running after a month.
