I’m now taking over

I haven’t written for a little bit because I was hoping to change the tone of the last couple of posts and write some really good news, such as “I’m running again!”  Unfortunately that is not the case.  It’s been three weeks with this injury and it has been very frustrating to say the least. I am seeing improvement, I’m able to cross-train and I’m not in pain, so things could be much worse.  I’m still able to stay positive knowing that everything happens for a reason and that everything will work out.  Keeping a positive mind will allow me to heal my body.

I had an MRI yesterday and it turns out that I have a disc protrusion at L5-S1 and at the time of the MRI there was no significant impingement on the nerve.  Which means that the worst is over and my nerve can now heal.  I’m still not able to recruit my calf properly and my reflexes on my left side are not as sharp as my right side.  How long will this take to get better?? who knows.  I am seeing improvements from day to day and especially in the past 6 days or so.
