A quick update in case anyone reads: Knee still not better so I went to doctor. My guess was right, a variant of bursitis – inflammation under the patella (knee cap). Mostly caused by hiking downhill too aggressively last Tuesday. Solution: rest, Ibu and ice. So no sailing Wednesday 🙁
Renewed motivation for kayak racing?
29 Aug – knee better but still bad. Healing takes longer as you get older. Here is what I did not do last Wednesday…but I did take the pictures
31 Aug – 90% healed. I actually have to rehalibitate from this because some leg muscles have gone soft from underuse while limping. Grrr.


Sorry to hear you’re laid up. Get well quickly, Dan. . .
