Please take care of yourself
Um... I'm not very good at that, can you tell?
Its kinda feeling better than it was, but still niggling at me that I could do with an educated opinion. I'm gonna see how the weekend goes, and then make decision if I need to see someone next week.
I'll give the accupuncture a miss though! not a fan of needles!

Dude. Dude.
I work in recovery. I know full well you didn't go and won't take care of yourself. So I'm here to say off you go asap.
Please.
Because if it worsens it's just worse. And if you treat and start to rehabilitate it sooner it heals sooner. See?
Wondered if you'd been today. So thanks for letting me know.
Yeah I know, I know... but nagging me generally doesn't help, I kinda need to work through this at my own pace...
I've now given it 7 days of rest, all pain has gone while walking. Tried a very little run, pain promptly reappeared after 40 meters. Turned and walked home. Have just sent email to local physio with an explanation of the problem and a request for an appointment for further help.
This the first time I've ever gone to physio and is the first time I've ever had a 'sports injury' other than the broken ankle 10 years ago which was very obviously broken and needed an immediate trip to A&E
Oh boy.
Yeah. I know. I also do the exact opposite of what I'm told to do. Still
I've never worked that dynamic out in full. Wonder what that is...
I'll
nagsuggest stuff anyway. Because I like you and I'd miss you around here.And your runs are content related. So...
I think it's doctors. For me. I don't like going.
Okay then. Wonder what it is.
They're pretty good with this stuff now. Quickest way back so good on you.
p.s. I've been avoiding calling the dentist and telling them they may not have fixed a tooth properly. Living on paracetamol
See? No judgment here!
Weird isn't it. I've been all set to do something, and then my Dad says "you should do that", and then I decide I no longer want to do it. Is it just rebelling against being told what to do? It can't be that simple surely?!
Maybe we just take it personally, instead accepting that people want to (mostly) help?
Feel free to
nagsuggest stuff... I may or may not listen initially, but you'll probably be planting seeds in future decisions I make 😅Oh I will. I know from personal experience that's how it works for us rebels without a clue 😂
Sometimes someone has told me summink and I've blown it off in a huff. Then a couple of years later... "Aaaaaah..."
Wish I'd listened sooner more often. Gawd I could've saved myself years.
But yes. We do need to walk our own way and figure things out for ourselves.
Maybe it's just rebelliousness. Perhaps it's lack of trust? Sometimes I just want things to be different and refuse to accept things for sure. Possibly more and a combination of many things.
Just take care of yourself :D
Maybe its pride and we just perceive it as criticism, no matter how genuine and well meaning the advice may be.
I will... try ;-)

Oh. Yes. Great observation!
I'd go deeper though. What's under that?
Not today though. Super tired and am taking a day off for self care. Worked through last weekend and all weekends for a while.
Must rest! (But I have so much I wanna / and need to do)
No. Must rest!
But...

You don't have to do the acupuncture 😆
That's a relief!
It would be but you don't have to do it. 😏
Happy Monday, D.
