.podiatry and mri collection

..super day at work today-
not the least of which was a day pretty much free of back pain(tight but i can cope with that) yay NO panadeine-how awesome
,..then picked up my mRI- hard to interpret though-lots of things mentioned...
for all intent \s and purposes tho all the bad stuff is mainly on the right(that was the side with loss of foot function last year) however the majority and most searing pain comes from the left- no point second guessing will wait for karen
-there was mention of the l5/s1 and l4/l5 disc bulges- also mild facet joint disease in those spots, irregular joint spacing between somewhere..???, oedema(swelling on bot the left and right) and the left sacro iliac looks ok but the right side.........
anyway some of that is asymptomatic at the moment-rang my aunt(physio) who said i should have seen her since ive been in pain-and is going to give me intensive and often physio over the hols-probably 3x per week

RUNNING-sorry it took so long to get to it
plan 40 mins with 2nd 20 mins at 12km/h(5min/kms)
anyway the legs were completely leaden to start(and ive errr misplaced my garmin-
YES I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!) and i cant even tell you how slow i was going but upon reflection may have been slightly faster than the 5:40 i was predicting..maybe 5:30????5:35
anyway..ran out for 21mins and then negative split by 2 mins on the way back-so definitely running faster-very hard for me to judge pace though-
but for what felt like a SHITBOX run- i think i did ok in the end..
gotta sore throat which im trying to stave off!!!! like last time when naughty mr stu tried to make me sick with his germs..lol..its not his fault this time tho!

then off to the podiatrist-
sally childs..highly recommend her-
anyway we removed the 'bubble' from the left shoe as my foot has been going numb.. and then added the bubble in the right shoe to my minzunos-asics racers-saucony-nike spikes
-shes pleased very much with the diminished pain in the toe but not so happy with the fact that it is still just as swollen as ever-
apparently now if it doesnt improve(with 10 days of icing and voltaren gel daily-karen may apparently have to inject it or something!
why not shes probably gonna have to inject my naughty little back- maybe not-maybe im just a hyponchondriac and my back hurts bc it thinks it is supposed to-the mind can do funny things!!!!! althogh i have tried to tell it , it is fine but it didnt really listen

..and then i have stupid moments where i go -maybe i can go back to squash- please dont let stu read that last sentence! i think his eyes just rolled back in his head
