Lachlan’s soccer team had their end of year BBQ today at the regatta centre. We took down the boys bikes, and i decided to complete a full lap on one of them with brent. it was ok riding around but by the end of the day the knee is stiff, sore and still not good.
there’s no doubt it is improving but after today’s short ride it confirms i still have some time before its going to be good to go. i guess also the fact i was on a 24″ bike wouldn’t have helped much.
i took down the 600D for its first full photo only run. the images turned out good but i still need to get my head around the camera properly.
after a fair bit more effort than normal here is the video from blue gum round i was talking about before. i am still not that happy with a few areas but i had to let it go at some point.

yep, its now official. after 2 days of 4-7hours of only painting, well basic walking around on my knee is just fucked. totally fucken fucked and i am so pissed off about it.
the click in it is just bullshit loud. it aches, won’t move, is stiff, hurts
farken hell!!!!
i didn’t really do that much work today. like – my right leg isn’t even close to being tired.
basically two weeks ago at PT on the monday i was doing some more cross-fit style of excercise when it went to the shitter. we were bear walking in reverse [basically this] with sit ups thrown into the session. after the 5 x work out we were then going to jog over and across the walkway bridge.
i started to jog and then all of a sudden my left knee had a massive sharp pain. i stopped, walked a few steps and tried to jog again only to have the same pain.
i gave up on jogging then did a bit of core work.
by the time i got up the next day it was totally fucked. slightly swollen, super sore and i couldn’t really walk up or down stairs. FAAARRRKKKEN HELL
i went to the physio on wednesday and she said i had damaged either my cartilage or soft tissue under the knee.
i haven’t ridden or done anything strenuous at all for two weeks now and have been back to the physio as well. over this long weekend i have been painting. thats about it. nothing major – no riding, no lifting, just walking and normal movements.
its so sore now and i am so pissed off about it all its hard to describe upset i am. i guess its because i really feel this isn’t a little injury. its going to take a long time to mend. a very long time.
with this much pain i won’t be doing the fling. i have already sold my entry.
FARK – FARK – FARK!
back to the physio on wednesday but its looking more like i am going to have to do more than just physio.
as for riding a bike, thats probably not going to happen until next year i seriously feel right now.
FUCK
