Rest Day

I took rest days Sunday and today.  Knee has been sore.

Notes
  • Body: Knee has been bothering me, feeling tight and slight pain.  I've been doing a lot of walking and standing, so that has been affecting my knee.  Icing multiple times a day and sleeping with my leg elevated will hopefully help things out.  I need to get better.  I am going to take more days off in an effort to help the knee out more.

Pool Work

Morning
MRI follow-up

Notes
  • Body: Feel decent today.
