My Journey Towards a New Knee

Below is our team’s photo after successfully competing in the Delaware Senior Olympics…taking another gold in the 55-59 age group.

NY Legends- Delaware Gold Champs-missing Jim McCloud

After this tourney, I played two full-court games in our Colonie Senior Basketball League.  Some overly aggressive defensive play by my opponents resulted in a few awkward landings on my left (bone-on-bone) leg and I apparently injured something in the back of the knee.  Interestingly, my orthopedic surgeon said “you are not ready for a TKR…you injured your knee and need a few weeks off”.  So…I’ve taken three weeks off, and have restricted my leg workouts only to deep water exercises….primarily running in the deep water with a floatation device around my waist…30 minutes of sprinting for 90 seconds, then jogging for 15-20, then sprinting…for as long as I can go…I’m up to 30 minutes and it’s a workout!

My legs feel great, and I can honestly say I feel ready to go…but will wait for my next checkup and probably a little more re-hab before venturing back onto the hardwood.  I attribute a lot of my knee’s lack of pain to Play Again Now.  Here is a video that Dallas Clark of the Tampa Bay Bucaneers recently did extolling his experience with Play Again Now.  He is having a surprisingly strong season with Tampa this season after seemingly being washed up with a bum knee for Indianapolis.

If you decide to try Play Again Now, the best deal is to choose the monthly ship option, enter your info, and get free shipping.  If you ever choose to stop, just contact them and discontinue…no hassles!

Anxious to get back to the hardwoods!

MY JOURNEY TOWARDS A NEW KNEE

Well…first, our hearts and prayers go out to everyone suffering with the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.  We have two families staying with us who are from Long Beach, Long Island…where there is still no electricity.

I’m reaching out today to those who have been following this blog, to ask if anyone has any experience with the popliteal ligament.  I seem to have strained this ligament behind the knee during a full court game recently, and aggravated it further in the Delaware Senior Olympics (we did take another gold thanks to outstanding performances by each member of our team!)

Bone-on-bone left knee-inside or medial view

My joint and specifically the front of my knee seems fine, which I attribute to Play Again Now Joint Anti-inflamatory  If you want to try this unique product, use promo-code 100-4 for free shipping.

If anyone has any advice or experience with pain behind their knee, please reply to this blog.

Thanks!

MARCH MADNESS…ALREADY?

Christopher’s is proud to have just finished designing NCAA’s Final Four Coaches’ Club custom blazer for Larry Brown, Head Coach of Southern Methodist.  Larry, of course, earned this blazer for his 1988 NCAA Final win at Kansas!

Larry Brown’s Blazer for  the 1988 Kansas National TItle!

Suits For The Cause is also proud to be introducing its Cancer Classic Pocket Square.  Designed by Vince Rua, President of Christopher’s Custom, the pocket square is made of pure silk woven in a diamond pattern.  Suits For The Cause is embroidered on one side…but the square may be worn as a “Hollywood Square” with “Suits For The Cause” showing, just a white square, or as a puff or peak without the logo showing!

Our new Suits For The Cause white pocket square…in Larry Brown’s Final Four Coaches’ Club Blazer!

Look for this to be available online at Suits For The Cause Shop
