Rain, Rain, Go Away

The rain is subsiding.

At noon , while I was drinking my hot mocha, looking at #twintuesday (Bravo ladies), and staring at the weather forecast, I look up golfer's elbow (I think I posted about my golfer's elbow...) online and tried to find a better answer than rest and ice.  Basically, I want a magic pill, but I know this probably isn't possible.  Instead I email my PT (whom I haven't visited since my shoulder injury).  

Sooooo.... I injured my wrist... wore brace for two weeks then an additional two weeks only when biking.  I went to the orthopedic on Thursday, and it's healing well.  When I talked to her about my elbow pain, she said it was golfer's elbow.  I asked about doing exercises, and she basically said I was doing enough.  She told me to stretch and ice.

It's causing quite a bit of pain (not just when I'm biking).  I get that it's already being challenged enough with biking and playing golf (start tomorrow).  

Is there any kind of massage or manipulation that will speed my recovery?  

I also get that rest is the best thing, but this won't happen until I'm done with my week of RAGBRAI at the end of July.  I'm, of course, training to make sure I'm able to ride the entire week.  

I'd try to set up an appointment, if you thought there was something I could do.

Thoughts?

Her response was satisfactory.  She said her schedule was crazy but call for cancelations.  I called immediately to find out the receptionist was getting ready to call her current cancelation list.  It seems my timing was perfect, and I have an appointment on Thursday.

Yay. I need to deal with my sense of overwhelming fatigue. There must be some PT for that.

Sankalpa Day 5

Today I went back to the interweb to find out what I could post about that would relate to sankalpa .  "...Sankalpa has the potential to release tremendous power by clearly defining and focusing on a chosen goal."  My chosen goal since May has truly been on being physically active.  Since it's cold and miserable out, I've been being active inside instead of outside.  December 6th (or something like that) was the last time I ventured outside for physical activity.  I, however, have still been going to they gym and focusing on being physically fit (or at least burning enough calories to eat more food).  Yesterday I received an early morning text from a friend in God's Country .  President Obama was talking about "The President's Challenge" .  Today (I tried yesterday and decided to put it off until today... forget out it... let it happen... put it aside... clear my mind of it... all probably sankalpa) I formed a group.  The...

What if... The Delivery

  Molly was excited to get a package from her friend who lives in Alaska.  When she opened the box, she was confused.  Although the shirt was actually soft and of good quality, she was upset by the guns in the flag.  When she googled Holster's, it was exactly what she thought... pro-gun.  She didn't know how to handle the situation, so she sent a picture stating she was confused. Her friend had obviously lost her mind.  During the conversation, she kept proclaiming that she hadn't sent a t-shirt.  When Molly explained it was her writing on the box, things became weird.  The friend was in a state of denial.  Molly even sent a text with a picture of the writing on the box. Molly's friend was adamant that she sent homemade condiments.  She wouldn't give up on her story even though it was clear Molly is in possession of an NRA type t-shirt.  After much deliberation, the two friends realized what had happened.  The original box, wit...

Missing You

Two Sundays ago I missed church because I was out of town. Last Sunday I missed church because I could not get to church due to the marathon (blocking my path... not my running). Dad and I tried to leave early, but we did not leave early enough. I joked with Dad about the fact that they would miss me at church. When I checked my e-mail this evening, I actually had an e-mail from my pastor saying I was missed. It was a short e-mail, but it was sweet and definitely a positive part of my day.
