Occupational Hazard part two

Sometime ago I felt a niggling but sharp pain on and off in my right knee. (How long ago? I’m not sure but at least 10 months.)
Being a sporting type I tried to train through it, believing that whatever it is I can get the old body to adjust and it will settle down. If I ride the pain for long enough it will sort itself……etc. Etc.
Last December as a training exercise with the Ice Warrior Inaccessible Pole team I led them up around the Snowdon Horseshoe and suffered badly on route. Searing pain finally forced me to seek medical advice.
Once again I called on the opinion and expertise of Rakesh Kucheria and within two weeks I had had keyhole surgery to resection a torn cartilage.
A week later I sit here with a smile on my face having just met with conditioning expert, Justin Miles – http://www.justforthechallenge.com/ to plot my return to fitness in readiness for next year’s big expedition. “We can rebuild you” he said “…….now that you’ve repaired the damage!”
Moral of this tale is that we are all human and sometimes we just have to accept that!
