I went to see my doctor yesterday about my leg, and he seemed to think it was just normal and that I should eat more bananas, drink milk, and take 2 Aleve before I run! That is not very helpful. He did take some blood to check my potassium levels, but he "suspects they are normal." So I have diagnosed myself, and determined that the root of the problem is really tight muscles that have caused a knot to form in my left leg and that is where the "tearing" sensation is coming from. I can feel it. I stayed off my feet (as much as I could) until yesterday and that seemed to alleviate the sensation. However, when I went to practice last night I did feel it again briefly as we were walking around the track. Running the bleachers didn't bother it ~ different muscles I suppose. Today though, as I walk/ran it came back in full force. I decided to run through it and see if it would loosen up, but the tighter my ankles got the worse it was, so I stopped trying to "push through" and cut my run short. My dog was okay with that, since he hasn't had to run for the last week and a half. He seemed a bit tired and overheated. Poor guy. It was a bit warmer than it has been.
I came home and put the heating pad on the muscle to try and relax it away, which helped, but it's still there. I am thinking of getting a massage to get those muscles loose again. In the meantime, I am massaging the area ~ trying to work out that knot. OY!! Pray for me. Ask the Lord to send an angel during the night to massage those muscles and unkink that knot. That would be nice, since I really don't have the extra cash to spend on a massage (since I just gave away $30 to have someone tell me "it's normal, and there's nothing I can do really." I'm a little frustrated by that. I'm also annoyed at myself because I think of all these questions to ask AFTER I leave his office! Double OY!!! I'm so glad that God knows all of this, and is working it out for me. I would hate to quit now because of some little hindrance like this.
Well, it's time to get ready for work again.
Lord, let your Spirit reside here. May I be attentive to Your comings and goings and may I empty myself of me so that I can be filled with You in order to do the work that You have set out for me to do this day.
Love you God,
