Lazy

I am being totally lazy, this is a copy of an email I sent to friends.
 
Well my visit today with the Surgeon "killed" any chance that I will be running any events for a month or so. I'll probably attend some limited trail running mornings but he really wants me to take some time off to heal what ever is bothering my lower abs. He wasn't overly concerned but wants me to take it easy a while.
 
Anyway that means this Saturday I won't be running Byron but I'll come as "Photo Guy". Can I hitch a ride with you Larry, the weather looks good.
 
Also had a CT Scan today, one of the "interesting" things about the procedure is that they inject some stuff into you that feels like a double shot of Jack Daniels after a long day of hard work. I guess the tech had someone tell her it was like "Bad Mexican" but since I never had Good or Bad "Mexican" I would not be able to tell.  (What is Mexican anyway?, guess I'm getting old) So, the warmth from the stuff just flowed throughout your body really quickly, I was saddened when I asked.......and was denied, another shot.... ohh well.
 
So after all was done, the tech looking over my paper work said..... Mr... O'Grady, you'll need to drink lot's of fluids to flush the contrast out. Of course I was thinking "Beer". And then she said, this will also put some extra pressure on your Bowels...... need I tell you...... ten minutes later ........ I had given up any idea of Christmas shopping and was balancing the "Need for Speed" with safety and potential for a speeding ticket.
 
Hope all had a Great Thanksgiving !
 
Mike "O"
