Max was quite the charmer this morning at the doctor’s office. And considering we were there through both a meal and his nap times, he was well behaved. And a nice nurse gave Max a rubber ducky to chew. It kept him very busy except for the 10 minutes he screamed when I was being X-rayed. (Please excuse the cell phone photos.)
The prognosis? Tendinitis in both knees. The doctor said that the bad shoes could cause it, as could poor running form, or trying to do too much. I was sent on my way with instructions to rest for at least a week and maybe 10 days, take an anti-inflammatory twice each day, and when I do start exercising again to wear knee braces.
oooh, ouch. Is it a result of all three? Hard to have good running form while pushing a stroller.
Um, does this mean I get to rest for a week too?
Probably a bit of all three. That will teach me, huh?
Please! Pull up a glass of wine and join me in my week off. But you have to put your feet up. That's the rule.
