I feel your pain...Last week I thought I was going to loose my mind as I hit 3 weeks without sleep, a swim, abike or a run...or really even a walk... and my husband informed me my Feb Tri training camp had to be cancelled..(had yet to be done b/c I just knew I'd be fine). See, he had forced me to have an MRI and as he sat in radiology pondering the lovely job I'd done on myself, a nuerosurgon came in and exclaimed, "HOLY CRAP..whose back is that and when are they having surgery??"....Well after my trip was ruined I promptly turned into Sybil and lost my ever lovin mind for the next 72 hrs...luckly my son brought out his Yoda doll and requested that I return from the dark side..."All that seems life ending, not always it is!" Hang in there!!!! Its awful, but you don't want to make it worse...I keep thinking...where do I want to be this time next year...you do the same...and surf the net for all those who have the same issue and are just fine!! In time!
