Swimming/ Doctor Visit

January 19, 2010 (Afternoon)

Exercise Type: Swim

Weather: Old Pool

Comments:
The swimming part went pretty smoothly. I felt like I went a little faster than I have been of late, but the time passed easily.

The doctor: I have a little "fissure" in my articular cartilage at the trochlea. The doctor seemed to react as though this was good news (though I'm not convinced and far from it). She told me I have to get my core, hip, and quad stronger to take some pressure off my knee joint. She alse wants me to get shoe inserts. She also said that when I progress in my rehab I should be able to run again. She seemed pretty optimistic, but yet failed to say anything meaningful. To be honest, I am really doubting this will go away if I just get stronger. I guess it doesn't really matter what I think, though. I walked out the door more confused than when I walked in.
