 Posted: 12/18/03 - 11:05 Post subject: that evil running thing strikes again
Bush to have MRIs on Painful Knees
That doesn't sound as bad as the report they gave did. Basically they made it sound like running, the root of all evil, not surprisingly has caused the President pain, but he is in his ancient fifties and he and all other baby boomers have no business running  they need to take their walkers to the pool and do water aerobics, duh. He obviously has obliterated all God-given cartilage with that awful pounding. He's lucky to walk. 
They need to talk to my 61 year old mama who had what sounds to be the same ailment and wasn't slowed down by the arthroscopic surgery it took to correct it and rode 183 miles on her bike 6 weeks later.

Actually, if he would stop jogging, he'd be alright.
He should definitely run instead.

True dat! The guy's pace is a minute and a half quicker than mine, and he can do longer distances than me. He definitely ain't joggin'.

Well, if that's jogging, then they haven't even invented a word for my slow-a$$ pace....
It's about time we realized that we were participating in the downfall of our civilization by running!!

| Quote: | WASHINGTON Dec. 18 — President Bush is showing up early for his visit with wounded soldiers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center so he can find out about a personal ailment: knee pain that has curtailed his jogging.
The 57-year-old president is having MRIs, or magnetic resonance imaging scans, taken of both his knees on the advice of his White House physician, Dr. Richard Tubb, White House press secretary Scott McClellan said Wednesday.
"When he's running, he feels occasional pain," McClellan said. "It's just become more noticeable over the last few months."
Bush already was scheduled to be at the medical center to visit soldiers wounded in Iraq and give a speech to about 200 members of the medical staff. The president also might drop in on Secretary of State Colin Powell if he's still there recovering from prostate cancer surgery on Monday.
Earlier this year, Bush suffered aching knees and a minor muscle tear in his right calf that forced him to give up his seven-minute-mile runs for several weeks. The calf strain was pronounced healed by the time Bush had his annual physical in early August. According to the doctors' report on the physical, the president takes chondroitin glucosamine, a joint relaxer.
In September, the president said he believed he had a a tear in his meniscus, a common injury to the cartilage that lines the inside surfaces of the knee. That again slowed his jogging regime.
People with very small tears sometimes are helped with knee braces and exercises to strengthen the surrounding muscles. Arthroscopic surgery can trim away ragged edges of the tear so the joint moves more smoothly, or remove the meniscus or repair it.
McClellan said that because of the pain in Bush's right knee, the president has run only occasionally in recent months. Instead, Bush has been using an elliptical trainer, a standup exercise machine, and has been jogging in water to get aerobic exercise.
"He's still working out regularly," McClellan said. "He's showing the wear and tear of someone who is active and someone who is his age."
It will be his fourth trip to Walter Reed. On Jan. 17, he visited with injured soldiers from Afghanistan. On April 11 and Sept. 11, he met privately with soldiers being treated for wounds suffered in Iraq and gave 18 of them the Purple Heart, the military award for wounded service members. He also has visited with wounded troops at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Md.
