2.13.13 Down and Out

I hurt myself again over the weekend and decided to take Monday off.  It didn't feel a whole lot better on Tuesday so I went to the doctor.  From reading, it appears to be a sports hernia but there are conflicting signals that may indicate something with my back.  My doctor took xrays and the results were somewhat inconclusive.  He is referring me to a specialist.  I have decided to shut everything down for this week and see how I feel.  I was given some hydrocodone.  I took one last night to help me sleep.  It is the first night in several weeks that I have slept through the night.  I feel a little better today which is making me want to work out but I am going to resist the temptation.  I have to get this resolved soon, one way or the other.  If it's a surgical resolution, I need to get that over with.  It is very depressing.  I was making really good progress and my running was really coming together.  Bummed to no end at this point.
