After a second attempt at running,this one in Enumclaw, the pain was enough to send me to the hospital. I'm writing this as I wait to be seen by a doctor. The American hospital system has some nice facilities... TV, private rooms, lots of staff.
After a 3 hour wait (yes America, it's the same on both sides of the border), I was X-rayed and poked and prodded. Diagnosis (from my discharge papers): Severe contusion and abrasions to left hip and lower leg. X-ray images do not show signs of fracture.
The doctor cautioned me that running could increase inflammation in the area. Not recommended. But I have US National Duathlon Championships in 2 days!!
At 11pm when discharged I ate at Jack in the Box. I could have eaten my shoes!!!! What an athlete!!
