Today is day four of my steroid injections recovery, and it’s not going as well as planned.
Afraid to test out the knee during a walk or run, I escorted my wife on my backup road bike while she ran/walked six miles in and around the mall’s asphalt parking lot. In the process, I’m pleased to report, I spotted and picked up two lonely pennies that had been discarded or accidentally dropped by the mall’s consumers. Their loss, my gain! Albeit a small gain!
Regarding the knees, I can report that there was a slight discomfort and clicking afterwards. Very slight clicking and almost unnoticeable discomfort.
Eight + miles on a bike, at an embarrassing pace, surely should not have damaged the knees any further. Maybe I’m being too impatient by not giving the injections time to properly heal.
On the up side, it was a miracle that no one threw bottles or cans at my 1985 Ross Road Bike with its new handle bar wrap. Maybe that’s why we chose the isolated parking area to run and bike and not public streets or sidewalks.
