Most of the run went fine
until my foot got tangled in some dead branches causing me to lurch
forward pulling on my abdomen. Ouch …... I felt it but for the
remainder of the run it was simply uncomfortable. It was a different
story a few hours later as everything tightened up. Worse then my
gut, what I'm assuming are my hip flexors went ballistic. For the
first time in a long time I took a pain pill during the day.
In addition to a “kind”
Monday morning thermometer, my body decided to be “kind” as well.
The stretching and strengthening must be paying off. Even so, I
discounted any idea of a run, opting instead to head out with Molly
for a three mile walk.
I was surprised at the
silence, approaching a fire pond the only sound was that of a single
Mallard calling out. Tomorrow I suspect, there will be a roar from
hundreds of frogs “looking for love”. Hopefully I'll experience
this tomorrow morning during a short run.
My three month checkup
last week with Dr. Goldstein (Oncologist) went well. For now I am not
seeking any therapy or prescriptions to deal with the Neuropathy but
I will start taking Alpha Lipoic Acid.
As far as my GI tract is concerned, well that is going to be a work in progress for some time to come. I have cut down on the amount of fiber I'm eating a day but that really has not made much of a difference. I imagine time will be my best medicine.
Spring is finally here …..
hurray !
Mike
