Healing

It's officially been one week since I crashed my motorcycle. It really doesn't seem that long and I can barely even remember the details anymore. I've since found out that having Tegaderm on your knee caps sucks, so I took it off and let the scabbing begin. My hip road rash was a bit worse so it's taking longer to heal. I landed pretty squarely on my left knee and it feels very stiff and tight and I'm having difficulty with certain movements. I'm seeing my knee specialist on Friday to make sure I didn't do anything damaging.

Barring any kind of serious knee problem, I'm planning to head out on the Zoka team ride this weekend. It's been about four weeks since I've been on the bicycle and two weeks since I've hit the gym or done any running. I'm going to chunk out man!

Last night was Petsmart training for Jake and he's progressing really well! The class is a riot. There's nothing like 6-8 dogs needing training all locked up together in a small room. I found out the secret to getting Jake to walk with me is getting him a harness. Works like a charm and no more pulling! The trainer also told me we've been overfeeding him, which is likely why he's been having overnight bathroom accidents. I lightened up his food and voila! No accidents last night!

Tonight is the season-finale of Project Runway...I can't wait!

Here's some updated pictures. My hip looks nastier than it really is. The white area is the deepest part of the road rash and is still healing. The rest isn't too bad. The darker part on the lower right is where the fluid under the Tegaderm is collecting. Gross, isn't it? The road rash on my knees looks pretty wimpy now.
