It sounds incredibly painful (I know what a tough broad you are!) and hopefully will heal reasonably quickly. You're probably anxious to get out there on your hikes but try not to push it too soon.

Using a Nu-Step version of the machine you're using, but soon I'll be ready to take my free session with a trainer to figure out what other machines might be good for me. I'm loving the mix of people there, and the fact that people in every sort of shape (literally and figuratively) come in and feel comfortable.

Your attitude is wonderful and great that you have found other ways and means to keep in shape, so when your knee is recovered you will be in shape to hike as usual.
