What a week, the discomfort and apparent swelling from last Tuesday's episode took a full week to dissipate but I am now at last and finally feeling like myself again. I have taken the time since completely off of training and have done very little around the house either, my abdomen no longer hurts when I walk or descend stairs and I am sleeping through the night without any anti-inflammatory or pain relief pill.
I have still been grumpy and continue to blame my discomfort for that so please don't let anyone else know I am OK.
Lori has been a trooper through this and I really appreciate the type of person she is! This was not exactly how she wanted to spend our anniversary but at least I did remember and got her a card and cooked a very special bland flavourless dinner to celebrate; she ate it all and said "thank-you, that was perfect." she is very special indeed.
I went for a follow-up GP appointment and was sent for some blood tests; results indicate that I had a pretty good infection and a whole bunch of inflammation. It is scaring me just a bit that I am learning how to interpret the results of blood tests...
I have decided to put the marathon on the back burner for the next while and see what happens with surgery date and my ability to run...
take good care of yourselves and type to you soon.
Don
