Stress Fracture

The bad news... I have a stress fracture in my right hip! I am on crutches for some number of weeks 2, 6 or more - it really sinks!! Obviously no running for a while! I am so frustrated! The only restriction I have is that I can't do anything that causes pain. It didn't matter what question I asked the Dr, his answer was the same - you can do it if it doesn't hurt! The pain is almost not really pain - it's just sort of an annoyance but I'm trying to reduce the annoyance.

The really good news... The Dr. says I will be able to run again!! And I will! I don't look forward to starting over but I'll do that too (since I don't have a choice)!

I'm looking for ways to speed up the healing - so any suggestions will be appreciated!

Lora made me do it....

So - there I was minding my own business reading my ruuning buddy Lora's blog and what do I see but my blog on her list of blogs to read - Well, that being the case I just had to come up with something to write - so here goes!

I'm pretty excited - I think my husband is finally going to start exercising - Yeah!! I haven't convinced him to start running yet - but it's just a matter of time! I hope! He's hired a personal trainer his first session is Saturday. Wish us luck!

We saw the movie Narnia the other night - I enjoyed it! I must admit I'm easily entertained! ;-)

No hip improvements to speak of - I have the MRI in the morning - hopefully that will show a minor, easily curable something and I can be done with this and get back to running!

That's it for today! Have a good day!
