Didn't do much this week. Worked late and attended a wake last night. Was so tired, but managed to scoot off to RPM Challenge today. Oh darn, Glenn was replacing KL again tonight. But I must say that Glenn had improved quite a lot since he first started taking RPM classes. It was a decent ride, generated a fair amount of sweat. Ha. Had a sudden thought of duathlon and wondered how to get through the bike leg without cramping up after that.
Popped by the hospital to visit Alvin who just had a knee ops to repair a torn meniscus and pump in some cartilage. He even had a recording of the ops, from the view of the probe-scope. Saw video of ultra vacuum device sucking up loose meniscus etc, and mini-scissors snipping away at the torn part. Eeeiiiuu. So there was no way to 'sew' back the torn section except to trim around it so that it stopped rubbing against the bone when running/ walking. Which meant less meniscus in the knee. Not a pleasant thought. It was a stark reminder to take care of our bodies, know our limits, and not risk permanent injuries.
