VISIT TO DOCTOR DELAYED

Yesterday after all my activity on Monday, I struggled a bit. There were a few times during the day when I felt some twangs of discomfort. Late in the day, I received a phone call confirming an appointment for today which I thought was not until Friday. Obviously, I made some error in recording my appointment. Now my appointment is scheduled for Tuesday, six days more from now. I am looking forward to that, so that I can start looking forward to a surgery date. I am really not enjoying being sidelined. And when I think about what an inguinal hernia actually is - I only get more nervous about walking around with this condition, even though I was told I could do so indefinitely.

ON THE DL

Oh boy... Did I ever get my comeuppance last evening. Since, I have never used the word, comeuppance, prior to right now... I needed to look it up.

come·up·pance

ˌkəmˈəpəns/

noun

informal

1. a punishment or fate that someone deserves.

   "he got his comeuppance"

   synonyms:

   just deserts, just punishment, due, retribution, requital, what's coming to one "the bad guys always get their comeuppance in the final scene"

.

I thought that after two days of rest, and two days of seemingly no pain that I could gingerly get on the treadmill last evening. I shouldn't have done that. But I did do it. I spent 35 minutes at an average speed of 26.05 minutes per mile, and 'walked' 1.37 miles. At that speed I could have practically burned those 117 calories that the machine said I burned by restfully sleeping. What I was not counting on was the return of groin pain. After my incredibly unvigorous, yet painful workout, I applied ice and 'hit' the ibuprofen.  I am simply going to need to stay away from walking any kind of distance for a week. At this particular moment, an elliptical machine workout is nearly unimaginable. As baseball season begins this weekend, I will borrow a word often used to describe a player kept out of action due to injury: I am officially on the disabled list (DL).

In Major League Baseball, the disabled list (DL) is a method for teams to remove their injured players from the roster in order to summon healthy players..
