I came home Friday and foam rolled, iced and hot showered, just like Abby said.
I went to the Open House for the North Mississippi Holistic Center (great place, by the way-- you should check it out!)
Afterward, Nickey and I went out for a bite to eat and a drink or two; it was date night and we needed it. I had trouble going up the steps from where we parked to Zachary's for dinner. I was "stove up" a bit, but my knee was really beginning to hurt a lot. We ate outside and I propped my leg up on the chair beside me while we ate, drank and talked. We came home, I took a Percocet (left over from my wrist surgery) and I went to bed. I didn't sleep well; my knee bothered me a lot throughout the night, but mostly only when I went to turn over or change positions.
Saturday, I spent most of the day in pain. On the couch. With my knee propped up. And iced. I text Abby and let her know that I was in actual pain, not just very sore. Continued foam rolling, icing and ibuprofen was her answer.
Sunday... more rest and ice. I got up and puttered around the house a bit, but took it easy.
Monday... I could put weight on my right leg pretty well. I chose to go to Small Group Personal Training. A bad knee could slow me down, but it wasn't going to get the best of me. We did an obstacle course. Those are my favorite thing to do in SGPT! There were only two things I didn't attempt... the Bosu (where you do some kind of alternating leg/lunge thing; I have a hard enough time doing that when I'm not injured) and jumping rope (didn't think my knee could handle that!), so while I was supposed to be doing those two stations, I foam rolled instead.
When it was over, my knee was sore but not awful. Today has been better. Abby had told me Friday that she wanted me to run at the Baptist track (4 complete laps without stopping) a few days after we had run. Maybe by Thursday of this week I can do it.
