What a week!

Well, what a week it has been!  Apart from all the normal (work, family, hang outs etc) I have had a rough trot of it!So, as you would remember from last week, I found out I have a suspected stress fracture in my foot.  I was already a little bummed about this but then Monday something else started happening!  I got some serious swelling in my right groin, it was SUPER painful and I started feeling crappy!  This went on for a couple of days and I went to see my doctor on Wednesday.  I was feeling dusty!  She gave me referals for blood work and scans.  Well Wednesday night I nearly called the Ambulance cause I felt crook.  I battled on and went into work for a couple hours Thursday morning.  I then took off, got blood tests, my scans and my doctor sent me up to the hospital.  I was worried.Initial thoughts were that I had cellulitis, however after about six hours, checking bloods, pushing and prodding, it was determined that I had a sever reaction in my lymph nodes (groin) from..........getting mauled by the leaches up on the Connondale loop! What the heck!  I know I was worried about what those blood suckers were doing to me but far out!  I am now on some antibiotics, rest and recovery.  I still have some reasonable swelling but am feeling a bit better which is good.Some good news though, my CT scan of my foot showed no fracture. This can mean a couple of things; that there is no fracture, that there is one but not showing up (common) or the fracture is really minor.  I am off to see my physio Nix again tomorrow and see what she thinks.  With a bit of luck, I will have to have only a couple of weeks off instead of six!  That would be beautiful!  I plan on starting some training again this week (yoga, bike riding) but I can not wait to get back running!  All in good time!So, as you can see, it has been an interesting week that is for sure!  Heres hoping the rest of the year is a little less adventurous on the injury/illness side!  At the moment I am taking one step at a time, getting the diet in check and ready for when I can run again.  Super keen.I hope this finds you all well!  Stay strong, smile big and cherish each day!   Much love and heres to a more uplifting report next week!  Beautiful!
