More signs that it was just meant to be...
I got a call from my doctor today regarding my recent MRI on my shins. Seems I have stress fractures all over. Someone should be calling me shortly to get me set up on bone stimulator that I need to wear 20 minutes before I go to bed. I looked up information on it online and it can take 6months to a YEAR to completely heal, so no more running events for me. He recommends that no spinning classes or standing up pedalling on a bike for 6 weeks. Good thing I didn't run that marathon, cuz I would be in a whole lot of pain! I guess I need to get myself on a swimming routine if I want to look good for my sister's wedding which is in a month.

Whoa! Where did all those little fractures come from? Did you fall? Were you in pain from running and didn't know what it was? Was it the martial arts classes?
I could feel pain sometime when I would run, but not all the time and sometime in the beginning and sometimes after. It got real bad when I up'd my miles and was running more frequently. I guess it's a common thing amoung runners. I have ortothics, good running shoes, do a warm-up and stretch before and after, have protein after and take my vitamins daily...so I was doing my part, but still got injured! Argh!!! So now I need to take it easy, ice, take anti-flamitory pill and do stuff that doesn't effect the area. It's recommend that I get deep tissue massages. I have been going and let me tell you it's a sesitive area!!!
Do you have a serious case of shine splints or what??? WOW! I've never heard of that bone stimulator. Good luck--you'll look great for the wedding no matter what!!
It's not super serioius where I need surgery, but if I don't rest and let it heal, then the muscle might detach from the bone and then I will need surgery. So I am going to rest and start swimming or something. I need to!!! My paints are feeling TIGHT! AH!
Wow! Every night! that is crazy! I wanna swim too! let me know whe you go so i might be able to go to that gym that you go to :) Love ya and TTYL
That's great that you want to go swimming with me! I'm stoaked! I will be going early in the morning some days, so I know you can't make those, but on the weekend let's plan a regular time to go! Cool?
