i'll take it

yesterday, my sports doc called me! He called to see how I was feeling!  I thought that was so cool.  As I've said before, he's a friend of ours, more specifically, used to play football with my boyfriend.  

He's moving soon, so I joked with him that he has a vested interest in getting me better quickly so that I can be useful during the move. He laughed, then asked if I thought I might be better by then LOL.  

He also wanted to make sure that I got his message regarding his referral to the other doc, which originally he scheduled for Sept 4th.  I told him that I'd call to see if I could get in any earlier, because i assumed it would only be daytime hours, and my schedule this week would have been impossible to get there during the day.  I was able to get an appt for this thursday at 5:30 instead.

I also asked my doc about biking again.  During our initial conversation about resting, etc, he said no to biking, and I had sorta left it at that.  I later thought that if i ride on my trainer, inside only... might that be ok?  I wasn't really planning on biking outside with a stress fracture, but not sure I had really clarified that.  He agreed that it would be ok as long as there was NO pain.  Today I rode during my lunch.  Yes, it's more boring than being outside, but it's also better than nothing.

not sure if this is in my head or not, but i've been walking with less of a limp since riding!  I'm not gonna go crazy with this, I want to see how I feel tomorrow, and i'll see what the new doc says thursday.

I got an email tonite about the Super Sprint Duathlon I had wanted to do this weekend.  I replied asking if I could perhaps volunteer instead.  It's my birthday that day, so it's either do that or be a super-fan at Jay's football tournament.   We'll see what happens.
