I met with the orthopaedic surgeon this afternoon and tomorrow, yes tomorrow, he'll do arthroscopic surgery on my right knee. The plus side of being in a health fund!
My guess was right about the MRI report in that he thinks the pain is from the meniscus tear...at least he's hoping that's the cause! I am so lucky to be getting it done tomorrow and not having to wait weeks or perhaps months.. At 11:00a.m I have to front up!
More news to come after that..... All good, I hope, but I have to expect that there will be no running for some time yet. A come-back in 2011 would be nice. I hope there's some motivation left by then....it's very low at the moment.. It's been so long I think I could very easily hang up the trainers for good!
Thanks to all for 'being here' for me right now. I can do with a friend.....or two, or three!
Aw Norma, you certainly have a friend and a half here, wish I could be of more support.
ReplyDeleteDelighted to hear about the MRI tomorrow. Hope everything goes well, and I will endevour to be a better friend!
Gebrsallassie has retired - he knows you'll be back and he's running scared...
ReplyDeleteHope the surgery goes well Norma.I saw some age group results from NYC an 82 year old ran 6:38, you would have beaten her by over an hour based on Sydney. You'll be back.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the surgery tomorrow dear friend. That is so good that there's not a long wait hanging over you. 2011 awaits! Our LL will be back! :)xx
ReplyDeleteI hope it went well. That was lucky - getting in so quickly. I couldn't wait 6 months either - I'd be as fat as Bruce.
