Sorry for the long radio silence. Lots going on over the last 6 weeks post Kona. We delayed leaving until we were past the CDC recommended wait period. With the paxlovid my symptoms were pretty mild. But also, I did a get a CoVid rebound and so I was dealing with an active infection for about 15-17 days or so.
Since then, a lot of traveling including supporting Anders at IMAZ where he did a 9:36.
I’m now within the final 36 hours of getting a “Kinematic Total Knee Replacement” of my woeful and painful left knee. I’d be a liar if I said I’m looking forward to it. I’m certainly not! The post surgery pain, loss of mobility and the longish recovery period are not something I am excited about!
That said, I am hopeful to eventually get to a higher functioning knee joint, that is significantly less painful. This will make the next weeks and months worth it. And I still have some ambitious adventures goals I’d like to pursue over the next 5+ years, so here we go….
I’ll try to chronicle the experience if I can see through my “Oxy-fog!”
