Cool Down - 6 exercises - 1 min ea(30s ea side)
This session was tough. Think German Volume Training(GVT) with Clubbells. I like it. My shoulders are pumped just like the old days. My knee hurt during the kneeling cool downs at first, but after the initial twinge, it was alright. I have about a week before I give up my last vice, one I have done since I was 13. The last time i tried i gained 50# in 4 months. Well at least doing the CME, I can turn some of it into muscle. Maybe I should start creatine again. But if I do, I will probably hit 300# again, but with a 6" inch smaller waist than last time.

My knee is feeling pretty good. May try some Yoga tomorrow

1.4.11 - Went to Ortho today

I have this

Pseudogout (SOO-doe-gout) is a form of arthritis characterized by sudden, painful swelling in one or more of your joints. These episodes can last for days or weeks. Pseudogout typically occurs in older adults and most commonly affects the knee.

There is no ligament or tendon damage. I was told walking would not damage the knee, I am doing away with the crutches. I was told to take 500mg NSAID 2x/day and finish my pain meds as needed. I should be all better in about 2 weeks. 

I need to do more Intu-Flow for my knees daily. 

1.1.11 - Went to ER today over my knee

I woke up this morning and the swelling was worse and the pain was unbearable. I went to the ER and had x-rays done. While the ER docs think it is bursitis, they still want me to see  an orthopedic sometime next week. I thought they would prescribe me some anti-inflammatory, but just got pain meds. I am now on crutches. Brings back memories of my sophomore year in high school, I was on crutches for 7 months that year.
