I have been benched by my doctor until further notice. No sports or gym work what-so-ever. He is sending me to a cardiologist specialist for another round of tests (echo, stress, tilt table, event monitor and possibly more). I have already been through this once before (see my first post here) and I am sick of it. I am only 32 years old and I have to deal with this crap.
If I trained this long and this hard and I can not do my HIMs I am going to be seriously pissed off. I will be out at least $600 and could have to give up training all together. I will have to change the blog to a flea market to sell all this stuff I had to buy. That will be one heck of a giveaway! Say tuned for that giveaway!
If the doctor says I can no longer do sports, I may just disobey his orders. I may just take my chances. C'est la vie
I'm so sorry! Hopefully this second round of tests will give you some answers!
ReplyDeleteTake it easy, hopefully things go well for you.
ReplyDeleteOh no! I'm so sorry!I'm sending positive vibes your way!
ReplyDeleteThat sinks! Hope all goes well with the new tests.
ReplyDeleteI have been there my friend! Don't give up just yet! The blogging community will send positive vibes your way!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear this! Hopefully the tests go well and you will be back training in no time at all! Sending good vibes your way!
ReplyDeleteListen to your doctor, do the tests, and wait until you get clearance. If it is a heart issue, its nothing to fool around with and ignor. I hope its all nothing and you're back to training soon.
ReplyDeleteYou're worried about me doing a 20 miler in the cold temps and rain. I think you need to stick w/ doctor orders. Otherwise we need to up life insurace. JK I'm sure it will be just like last time and will be nothing.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Bill, follow your doctor's advice regarding testing and athletic training. Best Wishes!!
ReplyDeleteOh, so sorry to hear.... Hopefully he'll work with you to get you healed without missing anything important, and get you back out there ASAP!!!!
ReplyDeleteTry to stay positive - (I know, I know, easier said than done). If the docs start giving you attitude - perhaps you could research a good sports doctor. I find that they are generally more willing to work with you to keep training than other doctors who will just say 'don't train, don't run etc) :) Keep your chin up buddy.
ReplyDeleteSending many good thoughts your way!
ReplyDeleteso sorry to hear that...wish you'll recover soon..
ReplyDeleteThis is a real bummer. Do the tests and take it from there. All the best!
ReplyDeleteI do hope it's just some nutritional deficit that you can make up quickly. But if it's your heart, well, I'm not sure you want to be that defiant. Good luck, Kevin.
