Bad:
I'm sick. I'm on the way to a hot whirlpool bath. My sinus cavities feel like they are going to explode. I'm sneezing my head off. I got my last cortisone shot to the hip this morning and it hurts. I actually got 2 shots in two different places in the hip so it hurts twice as bad. My calf is still on the mend. I start a 6-day oral steroid tomorrow to help heal it faster and keep inflammation down on race day. Side effects I might experience are extreme thirst/urination, stomach upset, dizziness, insomnia, and vomit that looks like coffee grounds.
Good:
The doc was positive about my calf and said I will be okay by race day. I can start cycling as soon as I'm not sick anymore, even if my calf is still tender. I've taken enough drugs in the last 6 hours to knock me out for the night. My hip will feel better tomorrow. And most importantly, if I'm experiencing all of this this week, think how much better I'll feel next week with all this behind me.
But for now, I feel like poo so time for bath and bed.
