Who knew?
July 9th, 2008 Posted in chondrosarcoma, knee rehabTwice in the last week, I have gone with my sister to Snoqualmie Falls and we have walked DOWN the trail to the river and then back UP the trail back to the parking lot. “Down” and “up” are literal. The trail drops 300 feet over half a mile. An article in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer describes it as a “tourist stroll” and certainly we saw lots of people in flip flops–but for me that UP and DOWN part made it quite a challenge for my knee.
The first time, I could feel all kinds of scar tissue in my knee. It hurt. And the next morning my knee felt distinctly better than it had the day before. I thought that was interesting, so I was curious to go back again a few days later. Once again, the hike itself was on the painful side–and the next day, here I am feeling distinctly better.
I suppose that means I now need to go hike up and down trails until I finish my recovery.
