Doom and Gloom

Brilliant. IT happened again! I am full of doom and gloom in my search for my inner dancer. This time it was my right calf which went. Just like that. When I was again  enjoying myself. In the middle of the dance;  a sharp pain, not been able to straighten my leg  or bear my weight. Cold, compressor and elevation - yes yes I know!

ÅxZT /???'%%%!!!  ##§§!!!

And when I will get back to exercise this time?

%&@~! Arrrrrrrrghhhhhhh and February Update

Do I need to say more!  It just happend. I was happy zumbaing on Thursday and suddenly there was something  that felt like a kick on the side of my left calf. I didn't slip or lose my balance and this happened 40 minutes into the session. The Big Unpleasant Surprise: And snipping pain. And  the first aid. And the cold compressor. And elevation. And rest.

I have never experienced anything like this: calf strain or torn calf muscle. Oh dear, I am not laughing as nobody knows at the moment how long this takes to heal and when I am able to go back to my exercise plan.  The doctor just said to see how it goes and rest. Airy Fairy.

And what is the difference anyway with a rupture and distension? Just the other ends of the same thing I believe. On Thursday and Friday I couldn't put weight on my left foot at all and I was unable to stand straight. My calf was really really painful. I am not a happy bunny as I am still limping.

However thinking back to February I am pleased. I eventually won the battle against nasty flue bugs and finally felt well towards the end of the month. Back to the gym experience has been great and weight loss is happening on steady slow pace.  Now I have a bit of a challenge in March as frustration and disappointment are the words in my mind: How to keep positive regardless of my injury?
