My Knee Surgery

A few months ago, when I was still in the States, I started to feel pain in my knee.
I didn't pay attention to it right away, but during a school sports camp the pain was just too much to be normal, and I noticed a hard lump that wasn't on my other knee, so after the summer vacations I went for a check-up with my doctor, who couldn't determine the cause of the pain precisely, but booked me an appointment at the sports doctor in Lausanne. But the appointment took a bit too long, and in the end I didn't get to the hospital until December.
I had an X-ray and more recently an MRI which hasn't yet given me the exact cause of the pain, but it's clear that it's a bone cyst or a growth, so I'm having an operation in 10 days' time, on January 14.
Unfortunately, this is going to create a bit of a setback in my project, as I'll have to take a break from sport for 4 to 6 weeks after the operation. So I'll continue to go track once I've recovered sufficiently and there's no longer any direct risk to my knee, I'll also go to the weight room to do some cardio and to train my upper body, but the bouldering will have to wait a bit as the falls are directly to the ground and therefore much riskier.

I would also continue to do cardio at home with an exercise bike and slowly with the doctor's permission and after doing physio and enough muscle strengthening to solidify my knee I could resume walking and running.
Normally if all goes well I'll be back in the mountains by early March.
I'll keep you posted here and on my Instagram account.
