Back on the ground…
I was over the moon a few days ago (18 to be exact) but am fully back on the ground. I think I’ve actually tripped, fallen and done a face plant back into reality.
I re-subluxed (temporarily dislocated) my shoulder on Saturday. I am in pain, I am feeling panicked that I have very little control over what is going on in my house, I am exceedingly sad that I can’t pick my baby up and that breast feeding is a painful ordeal rather than an enjoyable snuggle, and my Danskin 2009 dreams have disappeared.
I saw the orthopedic guy today and it is looking more and more like I will have to have an operation to repair my joint. I will have an MRI done in February after this current injury quiets down, and then I will have to do some major soul searching.
I don’t feel very positive right now, but I do know that I am not going to let this get me down for long. I will come up with some new goals and get right back into the swing of things as soon as I can heal.
Oh Beth, I’m so sorry. That really stinks. I will be praying for you!!
Thanks, Jenna! I’ll take any and all prayers I can get!
I’m so sorry, but don’t give up on Danskin yet! You can maybe do a relay (you could do the run or the bike), or if you can’t even manage that, you can volunteer and plan for 2010.
This is just a bump in the road. You’ll get it fixed, and you’ll be back in the saddle in NO time!
