One Day Pity Party

THAT SUCKS! Pity Party away - for reals.

Sucks!

I had a MRI 2 weeks ago and met with two orthopedic surgeons since, conclusion is most likely no running for me in the future...knee is bone on bone in 3 places, not many options for me, and will either have a surgery that takes 6-12 months to recover from in hopes of putting off total knee replacement. After 8 years of participating in triathlons, the idea that I may never do another one is quite depressing.

Hope you heal up quickly and can back at it!

That's horrible, I wish you the best of luck.

Injuries suck.

I tore my left gastrocs last summer and spent 6 months in PT for it.  On my last "official" visit to PT for that one my right gastrocs started to play the same game.  Needless to say, my "PT graduation" was deferred by about 4 more months.  I am on my own now.....but my legs are inconsistent.  Still cannot build much by way of the run or power on the bike for fear of winding up in that office again.

So I lost last season because of an asthma flare with bronchitis.....and a gastrocs tear.....and this season I am able to relay only.  As a swimmer (feel my pain, I tolerate swimming)

Have your pity party....but don't wallow.  Find out what you can do in the midst of injury and work on that.

Yow!  I've had what feels like an inner groin "muscle strain" for a couple of years.  Went for my normal checkup and he ruled out a hernia so I am just leaving it at that.  Doesn't hurt all the time but when it does....

Heal up and get back out there!

Put some screws in it and get back out there you wimp! (just kidding)

that sucks, get well soon.

*Punching and Kicking the air*

Dammit!

I'd spend the next six weeks building brownie points with the people who allow you to race!

Good luck with the recovery.

I hope you heal quickly. I hate to break it to you, but if your a "true triathlete" type, your pity party will last more than a day.

Seriously though: stay positive. I have a hard time doing this when injured but on days when I do think positive, it makes life so much better for everyone (me and my family). 

Are you stating that you abused your wee-wee??

But I was just about to demand Pop Tarts instead of cookies and punch, and have my own pity party!!!

WTH, I've been doing that for a year now Time to HTFU myself, and I indeed am. Glad to see you are too!

DOH--that sucks.  if there were an icon with fingers in the ears going "lalalalalalal" that would be me. went to the doc monday for a similar injury after a week out.  here's hoping it's only muscular.  all the best in a speedy recovery.
