For those of you who heard I messed up my knee last weekend at Hood....
I went to an orthopedic doctor yesterday and was suppose to get an MRI. She looked at it and did a bunch of bending and twisting... The good news is she doesn't think I re-tore my ACL. The bad news is she didn't do an MRI because they are super booked and she didn't feel it was an emergency that I had one done this week since I can walk or should I say limp. I told her that I really wanted to get an MRI so I know if I can race. She said that even if she did an MRI it wouldn't change the fact that I can't ride for up to 6 weeks. She said there is a 30% chance my meniscus is re-torn and that might need to be fixed (arthroscopic surgery). I will be called next week for an appointment to get the MRI.
So, this weekend when we are at Whistler for Crankworx you won't see me on the mountain riding my bike working on my skills! You can find me hanging out at the pool working on my tan! I'm totally bumming since I was going to Sun Peaks and Mt. Washington for the BC Cups!!! Now I guess I'm taking pictures!
