Linda came to Portland with me today. We met up with Four, planning to do an easy lap or two around the Back Cove. It was almost like the day after I fell all over again. The only thing better is that I don't have the sudden sharp pain at seemingly random times. I couldn't convince Linda and Four to leave me to feel sorry for myself and enjoy a run. Instead they kept me company on a very chilly walk around.
When I got home I made an appointment to see a sports medicine doctor. I hope to be better by then, but, I wanted to get on the books just in case. The earliest opening was Dec. 16th. Ugh! The other reason I don't want to take the wait and see approach is that we've already met our very high deductible this year...
Take care of yourself Val - I'm glad you're seeing the doc. Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mindy. How has your post-marathon been going?
ReplyDeletedeductables suck!!
ReplyDeleteYikes, hope it's nothing too bad, Val. At least there's comfort in knowing what's up and developing a game plan after seeing the doc.
ReplyDeleteOh man! Glad you're getting in to see the doctor, even if it takes a few weeks. And I agree with Pathfinder - deductibles do suck! Definitely take advantage of having reached yours!!
ReplyDeleteThe empathy does help :) Hope to see you all in Hell (I'll be cheering you on).
ReplyDeleteI hope to doc prescribes a strict diet of pulled pork!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, though, this is a wicked bummah. Heal fast!
sorry to hear about your injury. I know how frustrated you feel, here's hoping to a speedy recovery, good luck at the Dr's. See you Sunday, i'm looking forward to running with Linda, hoping my body doesn't let me down.
