Knee Injury

High speed UPD. Planted my right foot. I’ve been diagnosed with an avulsion fracture. My orthopedist says it’s when tendons and ligaments tear off small chips of bone. Nothing they can do. Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevate. R.I.C.E. Three to six weeks (or whenever it feels 100% getting off the can) which is much better than the ACL/MCL surgery I thought I was in for. I’ve got to learn to roll or fall without twisting my knee. Can’t wait to start physical therapy! My goal is to recover in time to train for Memorial Day (Hike, Bike, and Paddle) ride.
