Work is picking up, and Fall tennis is here. I’ve complained twice on this blog about quitting officiating tennis, but I enjoy it more than running. I can’t run yet, and I’m sure I wouldn’t miss it for two months. My knee is improving! I’ve had two Physical Therapy sessions, and my shoulder feels much better. Amazing what exercise can do for an ailing body.
Superior has passed, but I’m surprised I haven’t seen many reports. There are a few good ones, but I’m still waiting to hear about the run from some pals, especially those who had the dreaded DNF. I’m interested in their thoughts on what went right and wrong.
I’ll keep looking for posts and continuing my PT. Before I know it, I’ll be able to run and have a DNF myself. They’re the best sources to learn from, and there’s nothing to be ashamed of, especially on that BEAST—Superior trail!
I finally visited the regular doctor after weeks of feeling unwell. I dismissed it as seasonal allergies, but my condition worsened. Now that my knee pain and shoulder mobility have improved, my lungs and energy levels are lacking. I’m exhausted, but I can’t breathe when lying down and wake up frequently at night.
The doctor diagnosed me with a sinus infection, bronchitis, and a middle ear infection. He also found that my Vitamin D level was low and referred me to a nutritionist. I’m taking four medications, and I expect to feel better by Monday. My head has been an issue since my bike crash, and some believe I was born with it. Regardless, I’m taking medication and looking forward to improvement. Why do men take so long to visit the doctor?
Although I am very superstitious, today is my birthday! So I take all this as a 47th present to myself!
