From active to injured

I seriously need new knees. This is not going well at all. I've been icing my right knee for days, every other waking hour and the swelling has not gone down yet. My left one's fine, thank goodness. It looks like I have a huge growth behind my knee cap.

I'm still limping about and gathering sympathy from everyone around me. I hope I don't have a meniscus tear. That would be very bad. And I have two races next month. I'm counting on being better in a week so I can start training again. I might have to resort to low impact exercises like swimming to get my cardio back up where it should be. I can't even hop on a bike and go for a ride because my knee won't bend all the way.

I feel like a huge log with all the eating I've been doing, too. I think I have a noticeable fat tire around my middle now. This sucks.
