I slammed my knee super hard on a MTB ride on Friday evening. Was supposed to be a whole weekend with tons of riding for all. On Saturday morning it was so swollen, stiff and painful that I couldn't walk, and experienced shooting pain when I bent it or swiveled my ankle. I thought I might need to get shuttled down to the ER but luckily the symptoms got better and I was hobbling around by the evening. On Sunday morning I could even pedal a bit.

I went to the Dr.'s today just to be proactive, and he confirmed that there were no breaks or tendon damage by bending and twisting my knee a bunch. Just some bruising and swelling, which is already way down. He prescribed some light spinning for a week, after which we expect me to have a green light to resume business as usual.

Phew!!!
