Patella Tendonidis.
That's what's wrong with my knee. The tendons that connect the knee cap (patella) to the shin are inflamed. What a bunch of crap. So I get to deal with this forever, now? The doctor said that if it doesn't get better or keeps coming back, that I can take my knee pads into their physicaltherapist and they can help make them better for me. Adding padding where needed. I need to start icing it after work, but I've been to lazy to do that. I did ice it on lunch today, and that seemed to help a little. I suppose not kneeling on it for the past week has helped too. It just sucks cause that leg/knee cramp up when I do that. Meh, oh well. Just one of those things with getting old, I guess. I can't imagine that loosing like 50 pounds wouldn't help either.....nah.
Speaking of loosing weight. I need to. We've been taking the pooch for walks as much as we can, but she's not up for the long walks that will actually do me some good. I need to start eating right too, and the blizzard that I just ate while writing this will have to be burned off at work tomorrow. Man I'm not off to a good start, am I? We did have a nice dinner though. Chicken on the grill, alfredo pasta, and bread. Carbs and protein. Summers 'bout here, and I hope to get the bike out more than a dozen times this year. We'll see what happens.

Slow ride, fast ride, long ride, short ride, give me a call and we will figure out a way to go.
Sorry about the news man. That's no good. I guess running is out of the question, but if you and Mel are up by Lake Harriet or Calhoun and are wanting to walk the dog, or hang out give me a call.
Yeah. It's really not bad to walk or run for a short period. I haven't tried the bike yet but I'm sure it'll be ok. It just get's sore after long periods of time. And kneeling without pads is totally out of the question.
