Monday - Wednesday
     Flexibility

Friday - Orthopedic Surgeon
     Surgeon said all my ligaments and muscles look good. My hamstrings are really tight and probably the weakness in my upper leg muscles on the left are causing the pain and discomfort. Also, the cartilage under my knee caps is breaking down.

      He prescribed physical therapy which I have an appointment for on Sept 10. In addition, a double cho-pat brace for both knees and if needed some prescription anti-inflammatory medication. I have not located and purchased the braces yet. I already was using a single brace underneath the kneecap so interested to see how the dual brace works.

Sunday - Autocross Racing
     These required some walking of the course prior to the event and again mid-event to share knowledge with fellow racers. It also included a lot of standing outside in the hot sun. It was a very warm day, especially compared to our weather thus far this summer.

Excuse me as I will not be writing for the upcoming 2 weeks but hope to have some great reports! Have a marvelous Labor Day!
