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..

TAKING IT EASY

Yesterday, I started my day with the incorrect conclusion that my groin pull had more or less cleared up. I was with a customer in the morning, and all of a sudden the pain returned, a pain which I had previously only felt during workouts. My customer, was kind enough to offer me ibuprofen which I had forgotten to take with me. Whether the ibuprofen helped chemically or as a placebo - the pain dissipated during the drive to my second appointment. I went to sleep very early last night just to get complete rest. I have been applying a cold ice pack to my inner thigh with the thought that this might speed up recovery time. I am sure I will take it easy today and likely on Friday too. Then I will gingerly see if I am ready to consider increasing my activity over the weekend.

I think this 'emoji' captures perfectly how I felt when the pain cranked up during my first appointment yesterday.
