No run - still letting knee rest/heal. Yesterday my knee was pain-free 99% of the day. I can only feel it when I swing my leg in and then back out (swinging right leg over my left leg and then back out...hurts when going back out, so lateral movement). So once I can do that motion with no pain, I will give a light run a try and re-evaluate at that point.

Smart approach! Sounds like progress. I'm pulling for you.

My coworker just got the shingles on his eye...so you aren't the only one. It really seems to be going around this year!

@Andrea: That's no fun. My sympathies go out to him. Tell him not to touch or scratch them no matter how badly they itch and it'll go away somewhat quickly with the anti-viral. I had to constantly slap my hand to refrain from scratching.

Knees are no joke. Way to play it smart.
