Eight guys down from a peak of 18 earlier. I guess the good weather is keeping people away, but praise the basketball gods, eight guys is enough to play full court.
And we did, in a hot gym, but it was a blast. I wore my knee brace and while the pain was still substantial I was able to play. Half way through the night I switched it to the right knee as it was acting up. Maybe I need 2 braces. I lucked out and got on Bob B's team for the evening and we went 6-0. I made a few buckets got a few rebounds and had a generally pretty good night. Beat last time by a mile. We're hanging on and promising to make sure we get at least 8 next week so that we can go full court for at least 3 more weeks.
The knees are still discouraging to me. Again, I guess it's baseball but the knee pain is persistent. I'm still using ibuprofen but I'm trying to keep it minimal. Sleeping sucked again. I have to lay off the NSAIDs because I'm doing my regular platelets donation at the cancer center Friday. You have to be off the stuff for 36 hours because of the blood thinner that they infuse into you during the process.
Maybe the chondroitin/glucosamine combo will start kicking in soon. I'm icing the knees at work to see if that helps. Finally a benefit of being the boss.
