We had a nurse from Home Health come to the house yesterday morning. She is the one who drew the blood, changed the stat lock on the PICC line and made sure everything looked good. She will probably have to come one more time before the line is pulled.
Now my story of starting over. After we got home from Ashtons first surgery one of the first things I wanted to do was get back out on road. It had been about a month since I had run but I figured I had been running for two years so I would just continue from where I left off. Needless to say I injured myself. I strained a muscle in my thigh. Instead of backing off I just kept going. So then the strain ran to my knee and up to my groin. I still kept going until finally it hurt to even walk. So I started going to the chiropractor. After being treated for about 3 weeks and more time in the hospital to keep me off it, it has now been a month again since I have run. Ray and I went out this morning for an easy 3 and I'm happy to say it was almost pain free. Hopefully I can tape it like the dr taught me, icing and stretching I can get back to where I was, soon. The issue is we are signed up for the marathon in October. We are so behind on our training. I had set a goal and I'm having a hard time accepting I might have to let that goal go this year. For me running is a lot of mental training. I guess if we can't get up to par Ray and I will walk the marathon holding hands. Now wouldn't that be cute? ha ha ha
So far I can only think of one good thing that comes from not running.....I have all my toenails :). Not even a loose one. In my opinion loose toenails are worth being able to log the miles.
