jbob, I shall go and see the medical centre tomorrow, if there's not too much snow to get the car out (it's tanking down at the moment) and will report back.

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Pam-Tanking here too, I wait with interest. One thing I will start doing is resting on my rest days rather than Fonding, or long walks

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

jbob, very rapid visit to the medical centre this morning. Greeted at door by doctor (the same one who told me that I'd be able to walk without crutches 3 - 4 weeks after fracturing my pelvis last year - he recognised my name) who examined the knee, said it was essential to get the swelling down, prescribed anti-inflammatory patches, ice, etc. I asked about a steroid injection and he said he could do that, but that the other doc in the centre couldn't, so unless the medication was in stock in the pharmacy I'd have to come back on Wednesday. But it was in stock, he did the injection, took off 3cc of fluid, and the whole thing, including the trip down to the pharmacy plus buying some fresh bread, didn't exhaust my one hour parking ticket.
He warned me the knee might be a bit more painful for a day or so after the injection and was clear that until the swelling was gone I shouldn't ski, or should take it very easy. But he thought it would be fine by Sunday (though I have to drive all day Saturday to get to Arabba).
I really don't want to miss two Birthday bashes in a row!  So I feel very pleased with my morning. 
Lovely fresh snow this morning, on quiet pistes, but I won't be back on ski before Arabba - don't want to push my luck.

pam w, yes a nice rest with a good book and a few glasses of wine should sort out your knee in time for the weekend.
