Where to start?
Huh.
Well - I'm still running. I managed to finish the Denver Double on my birthday in July. We ran a 10k and then 30 minutes later ran a 5k. I got to cross off two things on my bucket list that day! My first 10k, AND coming last in a race! Fun.
But now the reason for the title.
We went to New Orleans in June and met up with my sister, brother-in-law and my nephew (the chef. That meat we ate our way through NOLA!)
While we were there I explained about a lump that I have on the back of my right leg and how that was starting to affect my running. I couldn't stretch properly and so my Hamstrings were starting to tense up a bit.
Baz had a fit and 'paid' for me to visit the doctor when they left.
Being the good sister in law that I am, I did so.
That was over 9 weeks ago.
Now I dont want to get caught up in a fight about medical practices in different countries, but suffice it to say that even though everyone I have dealt with in Kaiser has been wonderful (especially my PCP) the red tape is insane.
I have had an MRI (inconclusive) and been sent to see an orthopedic specialist. Who was a surgeon, orthopedic specialist. Oh - and did we forget to tell you that she was an award winning ONCOLOGIST orthopedic surgeon specialist??? Yep - now THAT would have been nice to know, peeps.
And what did said oncologist, orthopedic surgeon specialist have to say about my lump? (We have named him Fred for the time being) "Well - that's unusual." Uh hu - very NOT helpful!
So now - I am trying to get a biopsy. You would think that would be an easy feat. Apparently not. But they are thinking either Tuesday or Wednesday.
So that's where we are up to right now. I will continue to run until they tell me not to!
Hugs
Meg
