[Sylv]

back home now, op went well (it was a proper knee surgeon not dr laser), still stiff & swollen, need the crutches but have to do very little for a few days. gonna be about 6 weeks till i can pedal a bike in anger, but should be able to do some light exercise in 3.

Great to hear that the op went well.

Just consider it an extended rest period after a long hard season. Doubt you'd have been doing much training in the ice and snow anyway!

[Andrew G]

Yes good to hear it went well. What was the problem / operation Sylv?

[Paul H]

Glad to hear your on the mend. Fancy some swimming?

[higg]

Sorry to hear about that sylv, I hope it mends up soon.

Aodan.

i'm only just starting to be able to walk further than round the block, but still with crutches. will likely focus on cycling only once i can get going again, to make up for the lost time. have put back on the 4kg i lost in the summer already. thing is it doesn't take very long to get used to the couch potato lifestyle, i don't even know if i want to go through all the training stuff again next season.

i had some swelling of the pat pad that sits below the kneecap and is there to cushion from impacts, which caused it to catch, and also some cartilage damage to be smoothed off.
