Leg Injury Report

[jkahane]

The doctor's office called me during work yesterday, and his receptionist asked me to come by that afternoon around 2:00 pm. The MRI results were in, and the news was relatively good. I haven't torn the upper thigh muscle, as was first suspected, but I have stretched it pretty badly to close to the breaking point. He told me to take it easy for a couple of weeks, to walk but not exercise on the elliptical, use a pair of crutches as needed, and not to do any lifting, especially heavy stuff (like books, which was what got me into this mess in the first place).

I still hurt, a lot, but am glad the news was not really bad. I consider myself to have gotten off relatively lucky with this.
