Saw the doc the wed after hobblecreek and he highly recommended I give up running and soccer until I have surgery. He wasn't all that concerned about doing the ACL reconstructin even though it is complicated by a previous ACL repair with metal hardware nor was he concerned with my ability to recover, he was however concerned with the fact that I have bone contusions on both my femur and my tibia and I have fairly extensive chondromalacia. Listening to him explain I know I need to give it up for now but its killing me. I can't schedule surgery because I want to get a better grasp on my new job before I'm out. My hubby wants me to wait until next summer. Uggh. Will I ever learn to love the bike? I doubt it.

30 min bike and 30 min elliptical. Gerbalizing- now I understand that term.

I'm sorry about the knee. It is hard to switch to the elliptical and bike when injured, I know I've done it plenty but at least you get exercise.

Gerbalizing - I LOVE it!

I hope things are going well for you and you're starting to enjoy the bike a bit more :) Spin classes help with the monotony of the bike, while keeping Cardio high.

Surgery...ugghhh. Let us know when it's scheduled. Here is to a quick recovery and getting back on the road.
