Memories ...
Saturday's walk ... heel ... tad sore ... failure.
TW2003 ... wet ... cold ... no energy ... failure ... hurt ... TW2006 is Personal!
This is why today at 9.40 I went to see the Dr.
V-Rap had said I should get my heel jabbed. By Saturday night I totally agreed. TW is personal. I am going to have to finish it. I want that medal, I want to slay that damn dragon and say WE DID IT!
So off I go, half hoping for strong drugs to see me through and the reassurance that a jab was not needed! Billed as "probably the most painful injection you can have ... even with a local" pills sounded better!
I walked in and the Dr smiled "so are you going to chicken out then?". I recalled the slight ache last night and this morning that had reminded me why I was here. Yep I had to do it.
I lay on the bed and grinned! The Dr prodded and then he "did it". The Dr "fanned" the jab to try and cover as many of the sore bits as possible. He would move and say "does it hurt here?" my little eeek and gasps gave him the answer he needed. Several stabs later with my urge to bite my tongue and it was over.
So since that time I have rested up, feet raised with a tingling slightly numb leg. The drugs have been taken as advised and I wait now to find out if this has worked. Dr did advise that he could do it again in 2wks if needed, if he didn't "get it all". Lets hope it does!!
Roll on TW!
