So, I cancelled Barwis on Friday because I was in pain. My left leg hurt and was a bit swollen. I figured it would be better or Monday… I was WRONG. My leg was EVEN bigger!!! Sunday night, my brother, Dave, came over and instead of making fun of me for having such a swollen leg, he was concerned. My Mom had been concerned all day. Now she had an ally and I was outnumbered.
I woke up Monday morning after elevating my legs ALL NIGHT and they were STILL swollen. My left more than my right and my left leg was bruised. I texted Jesse and Mike Barwis to find out what they thought. I sent them pictures of my elephantiasis legs (my Mom took some pictures. I am NOT putting them in this post because they are PRETTY GROSS!!!). Mike said it was probably a pulled hamstring because that is where it hurt the most. Jesse agreed and Mike suggested that I see an orthopedic doctor. He was out-of-town but he called me and told me that he was going to have a doctor’s office call me.
I called Elle and told her that I wasn’t going to make it Monday. That fact bummed me out. It was such BAD timing for a FURTHER setback!!! My legs were VERY swollen and I spent the day with my legs elevated alternating ice on both of them. The doctor’s office called and I have an appointment Wednesday morning. I guess the comeback isn’t coming as soon as I had hoped.
