Dinner: Ice cream.
Tears: falling. No longer constant. Frequent, short spurts.
Diagnosis: herniated discs. L4 and L5. Pinched nerve.
Running NOLA: out of the question.
Trip to NOLA: still happening. I’d rather cry while cheering on my friends and eating beignets than alone in my bed.
Physical Therapy: starts tomorrow at 11:30.
Bed Time: now. I’m going to pretend this isn’t happening. Maybe I’ll try and write about it tomorrow.

That sucks. L2 thru L5 for me. PT will help SO much. Ask dr about walking in a pool. It’s no impact, GREAT for your core, & strengthens legs, too so when you get back to running (which you WILL) it won’t be so bad. I’m sure you’ll be back in no time!

awesome: that you’re doing the right thing with PT and sitting this one out. you’ll run again and in great condition - better that than risk further injury by forcing it now. ♥ you always

get better as soon as you can. enjoy your ice cream for the moment, and start working on your plan of all that you can do now to help you heal and get back to doing what you want to do….

Oh no! I’m so sorry. I hope that ice cream and PT and sleep and time make everything better. And Lola sends some poodle kisses, too, to speed things along.

Oh love..„ I’m so sorry! You worked so hard! Better to not run and get better than forever be in pain. Call if you need anything

That kind of stuff can be fixed, little lady. Don’t abandon your hope. Short term is fluid. What happens in the long term is what matters. Now you know what you’re dealing with. Try and keep to chin up. Everything will be okay

Oh Claire - I am so, so sorry. Let me make myself into a kittle person and daintily walk on your back to relax it. I am so so sorry. I know how hard you have worked. You get this fixed and you will lay waste to the roads. I know it. Many thousands of hugs sweet Claire.

oh no. That’s horrible. I understand your pain.
Just a girl trying to figure herself out, run a few races, drop a few pounds, get in shape, be happy, be healthy, be awesome, and live life.
