i hurt my leg last week. running, of course. i was fine one day, and not the next, so not quite sure what happened. i did various things to get through it, but to really no avail, so after a referral from my GP and a plethora of scary stories to scare me into never wanting to exercise again, i found myself in the orthopaedics office.
first off, if i EVER need an ego boost, i will be hitting that stop first. he went on and on about my legs. not like in the creepy, "i think this doctor is hitting on me vicariously through my legs" thing, but in a real genuine way.
secondly, we had some xrays, by the same tech that spotted my bone spur a couple years ago, he is fun and i got to wear this horrendously small/medium "paper shorts" that i could have fit 10 of me in....literally.
so, lo and behold, my pelvis is not shattered or my femur is not broken....duh. but i'm headed to the MRI tomorrow.
i'm surprisingly good with all of this. i did this with enough time that if nothing is broken, i can be fixed and can still run the marathon. if something is....well, we'll just take that as a sign that i'm not the gazelle i was trying to make myself be.
c'est la vie!
