Managing knee fracture with cast
I broke my kneecap a couple of years ago, stepping off a sidewalk on a street corner in.the north of Thailand without looking down - it was 60 cm above the road - and landing with my full weight on one knee….. At the time I didn’t know it was broken - I didn’ see a doctor - but I couldn’t walk for a couple of days. Then I started swimming with one leg, a bit later cycling with the leg in question just rotating without any force put on it. Improved slowly over the next weeks but remained painful. When I returned to my home country 10 weeks later I saw my GP who sent me to hospital for an Xray, After the Xray was examined, a nurse came out with a wheel chair for me - the kneecap was broken! They found it hard to believe that I had been on my feet for the last 10 weeeks. After further examination I only got a Velcro brace to wear for some time. Almost fully recovered, but still sensitive walking up stairs.

79 years on this planet, 179 cm, 73 kg, cycling 100-120 km trips a couple of times a week. Heart beating around 45-47 times a minute, in rest. No smoking (never did), an occasional glass of wine or beer, almost no meats but lots of vegetables and a supplementary daily protein drink. I had a heart attack 3 years ago from which I recovered well. Some prostate problems though, as most men my age…… Cycling is a great way to get - and stay - in shape; a lot better for the old joints than running,,,,,,,,,,, - Gavin Newsom’s Stand Against Trump Revives His Presidential Hopes
