On June 12, 2013 I had surgery to
remove complex posterior horn tear of the medial meniscus and pathologic
suprapatellar synovial plica of the left knee. The procedure went smoothly and I
was out of the clinic in about 2 hours. The worse thing about the recovery was
sitting around my house for 2 weeks with nothing to do. I caught up on some reading and watched a lot of movies but mostly sat thinking about being out on the trails.
After that I started slowly
walking 1 mile per day with my Bledsoe Z12 OA knee brace. Then the next week I
increased my walks to 2 miles, then to 3 miles, and finally 4 miles every day
during week 6. This week I started adding some short slow jogging in the middle
of my walks and experienced only slight pain. Tonight was a great night. I jogged about a mile during my walk. The heavy rain created mud everywhere at Whites Bog. It was slippery, sloppy, and felt so good. Next week I’ll attempt to jog
further.
