Survey Says ...

Endured an MRI at 6:45 a.m. today in order to find out if I have a torn meniscus or a torn medial collateral ligament. I'm hoping for the MCL diagnosis because physical therapy is the prescribed treatment.

The Last Weekend of July

On Friday, I decided to head out for a lunchtime run. I've taken a running hiatus since the end of May. Monday evening yoga has been the extent of my physical activity as of late, which definitely shows through with the increasing numbers when I get on the scale. Anyhow, I walked over to Millennium Park and started a half-hearted shuffle ... as I hit my third step, I felt a horrible pain shoot from the inside of my left knee down toward my calf. I stopped immediately. This was a much different pain than what I had been experiencing. I walked through the park and over to Columbus & Monroe. It was probably more of a limp. I attempted a show shuffle again, but I stopped after a few two steps. My self-diagnosis earlier in the year was per aersine bursitis, but I'm not quite sure what's going on now. I cried Friday night when I went to bed because I want to run (and my leg ached so much). I'm fearful that I might have tore a tendon, but I'm hoping that my doctor will be able to see me tomorrow so that we can find out what's going on in the leg. I know that God can heal.

Caitlyn is wrapping up the build project with Arial Homes in Ensenada, Mexico today. They'll be driving back up to San Diego later this afternoon. I miss her, too.
