A Slight Setback

So what have I been up to since Nepal? Well… back before my trip, I started to have some serious pain in my left knee. To a point where walking became really hard. After going to a handful of doctors, we finally nailed down the exact reason. I have something called hyper-mobility in my joints, which means my joints are too flexible. In my knees specifically, they are to a point where I don’t have any PCLs left and my patellas are out of place. After two years of hauling camera gear, splitboards and overnight gear up the PNW volcanoes, my quads are too big, my knees worn down, and the verdict is physical therapy and some rest. Luckily mountain biking isn’t being restricted at all, but I’ll be holding up on producing some new videos stories for now. Let’s see how this goes…

 

Update…

It’s now December the snow is falling hard, I’ve done a ton of physical therapy, my knees are feeling great and I’m in a good brace. I’m going to be taking the season to really test my knees, move at my own pace, fit some mountain biking in, and ramp up for the spring climbing season. I’ll be updating more and starting to produce some more video stories.
