Trip to the Doc! :(

After having to limp for most of last week, and the leg not showing any signs of permanent recovery, I decided to heed my colleagues, as well as my friends advice, and headed out to see the doc.

After sitting for 45 mins in the waiting area, looking at the best customer service award on the wall, I was literally falling asleep. Finally someone called a butchered version of my name and I limped inside to the examination room, for another 10 min wait, till the doc came around.

I explained that my left leg has been paining fairly consistently for the last week and a half, and it does not seem to be getting to a full recovery. He had his assistant take a couple of x-rays of my left knee, and as I had anticipated there was no broken bones! (whew!)

The doc advised me to rest a couple of days and prescribed a anti-inflammatory medication to help heal the sprain. I will not be doing any running the next few days, or swimming, but I will make it up with some strength training for my upper body. Keep cheering for me guys, I am still very much in the race!! :)
