I’d like to think this will be one of the last blog posts I write about my knee, but I’m starting to realize that it’s a chronic pain – in this case for both me and you!

After 2 Osteo sessions, then 15 with the Physio, I went back to Dr. Samy to see what he had to say. After much digging and man-handling he said that I needed those shots. My first instinct was to strangle him, since I thought I knew that already, but the feeling quickly gave way to wanting to give him a hug. I did neither in the end, but I will be going back on Friday for my first of three big, long needles.

So, that’s good.

The bad news is that all this takes place 3 weeks before my first ‘event’ (or ‘race’, depending on how pedantic you are about these things), which is followed by 2 more in the next 2 weeks. I am woefully unprepared as it is, but now these shots will take me off the bike for 3 valuable days a week till they’re done, probably in the middle of April.

So Roan, if you need a domestique in the Héraultaise, I’m there for you, buddy 😉
