Stevenrayhoward's Journal, 20 August 2013

Still gaining - but, it is slowing... can't walk as fast to the fridge I suppose. I ripped the gastrocnemius muscle (outer calf muscle) where it attaches to the tendon in the back of the knee (left leg). Let me summarize: OUCH (with the biggest letters and loudest scream you can imagine). Waiting to get an MRI to see if it is a partial or entire rip. If entire, surgery, here I come (sooner than later or they will not be able to "stitch" things back together if the muscle retracts too far). If only a partial... a pat on the back, a well wish for a speedy recovery, go home, take it easy, take Tylenol, Ibuprofen, etc. Give it three to four months to heal. That plus the new pup brought kennel cough into the home, now our Miniature Poodle has same... a trip to the vet this afternoon, a drop by the pharmacy to pick up the crutches and a full day of work - thank goodness the work schedule is not very heavy today... okay, enough whining... it is time for me to go not eat something... already downed a slim fast, an apple a 32 oz pitcher of water... what else could I possibly ask for? :) Cheer-ee-oh! -- Steve
