Adapt and overcome

It's been a little over 2 weeks since my last entry and lots has happened. To begin with, my tendonitis is still lingering around, although the healing process is taking effect, thank god! I returned to walking as mentioned in my last entry, alas, it was a little too much, too soon for my poor foot. I obtained a new pain due to sheltering the affected areas. So, I decided to stop walking and remove my new orthotics as I had a sneaking suspicion they were contributing to the tendonitis. And waaalaaa, the healing is moving forward in leaps and bounds!

I'm scheduled to see my specialist tomorrow who prescribed the orthotics. Maybe I need gel inserts? (as the current ones are too hard) or like my previous inserts, I had my feet moulded using plaster/clay rather than heat moulded. Let's see what tomorrow brings.

In the interim I couldn't sit around doing no exercise whatsoever, so I invested in a new exercise bike (Guy Leech Gle-1) and what an investment it is! It's a little pricey, but well worth it as it has some great features. Atleast I'm  getting my daily exercise hit and the good news is my knee is responding well to this activity. Thanks for the recommendation Brad!

My intention for this week is to head outdoors and see how my foot holds up. Fingers crossed this is the beginning of my training.
