My dr has a weird sense of humor…his call to me today started with happy birthday, now the bad news. Bad news is MRI revealed stress fracture in the head/ball of my femur. Now more tests, CT scan scheduled for next week. Only pool (no pushing off wall) for next 8-12 weeks, with slow introduction to physical therapy.
Just a word of advice…I did not mess around when my body started telling me something was wrong. If you feel pain, pain that is not normal because of course we feel pain in training, then see your doctor. If I had continued to push he said it could have easily gotten much worse. Don’t take for granted what you are given and don’t just piss it away to get that one last training session in. I might miss the first half of the season, but it’s a small price to pay.
