...and then

I'm not gonna ask "what else you got for me?" for fear that the universe may actually answer back with something more. 
Since about November of last year I stopped playing hockey and skating all together because during one particular pick up game with guys WAY more advanced than me, I got checked into the boards (accidentally I'm sure) and came off the ice limping. I didn't pay much attention to it as I gave up the right to bitch about pain when I decided to take up the sport. I continued skating my 2 minute lines for the next 45 minutes in complete agony. After that game I went on the ice one last time a week later thinking my quad was all better only to find out I couldn't push off my right leg after only 10 minutes on the ice. It was during that time that I also started feeling so crappy with what I later found out was a B-12 deficiency. So I stopped skating and playing all together. In fact I had abandoned my work outs, walks, hikes, biking....pretty much all exercise and strain on any part of my body. 

In getting B12 shots and starting to feel better with my anxiety getting under control recently, I've done my small share in trying to get back into some form of activity. I've had this pain before and chucked it up to just being pain from not using my muscles enough. Well, during this move, I think I've pretty much confirmed that it's not just good ole rusty pain...there is something seriously wrong with my quad. I literally sat on the floor last night in my newly arranged room and cried from excruciating pain. All day today I spent in pain trying to compensate for the lack of strength in my right leg, causing my lower back to act up...again.

First things first, yes I'm setting up an appointment to clear up if it is in fact a micro tear of the muscle like everyone with a medical degree in my family seems to think it is. Which is not a fucking walk in the park to deal with. Best case scenario is physical therapy. I'm crossing fingers it's just that. As much as I'd like to just ignore this completely and make it disappear I just don't think its gonna happen. 

I'm sick and tired of the health issues this year. Can this year just be over?! I'd like to see about returning 2010 as it has brought nothing but absolute crap. 

On a bright note, I saved 15% on my car insurance by calling Geico....no not really, but that would be nice. 
I'm gonna take my Quasimodo ass to bed now. Tomorrow is another day. A hot one too. Maybe I'll finally get to see my best friend again. Life blows when you don't see them for almost two months.
