A couple of weeks ago my knee started hurting, I thought Meh, it's just sore and it'll be better in a couple days. Fast forward to a week and a half ago, waking up and barely being able to get out of bed. I finally drug myself to the dr, where she sent me off to have xrays done. Doclady thought my meniscus was torn. Uh oh! Well, after like 5 days of waiting for my xray results, the nurse finally called me and said that it's minor soft tissue swelling, no tears! Woot, but let me tell you, this swelling feels a whole hell of a lot more than just minor.
Don't get my wrong, I am super happy that it's not something more serious, the lord knows that. I'm just tired of icy hot, ice, aleve, and heating pads. For reals. And I'd like to be able to kick ass at the gym again.
I've gotten so into the gym and my workouts that it's really bothering me that I can't go in there and give 250% like I was. I know it will heal and that I will be to that point again but damn it I want that right now.
I am an emotional eater, I am struggling with my knee, and I am having a really hard time coping and not running to fridge for some carb loaded goodness. I have slipped a few too many times. I will admit that. IT'S REALLY FUCKING HARD!!!
I plan on going to the gym tomorrow morning, and kicking ass on the elliptical. Since I know it isn't torn I am free to get on the machines again, just as long as it doesn't hurt my knee. Which the elliptical hasnt bothered me one bit! IAMSOFREAKINGEXCITED to see that machine again. ahhhhhh! It's my addiction, a guilty pleasure of sorts.
Wooooo! Ok, so there's my update. Talk to y'all again soon. Very soon!
