Listen to your body

[Dad-2-3]

Been popping "Aleve" and icing my knee on my days off of work (I'm an RN) for the past two weeks thinking I had sprained it on one of my 5am runs. My better half finally talked me into going to doc who referred me to ortho doc. Long story short is MRI showed fracture of tibia (didn't show up on previous x-rays, so it can't be too bad right?), strained MCL and torn meniscus. I get a more definitive treatment plan from doc in am, but it looks like I won't be swinging a club again until mid to late sept. and may be done for the season.

Reason I'm posting this is just to tell everyone to listen to their body and not try to be a tough guy. I walked 18 the other day despite pain that was pretty bad. In fact that's what I'm blaming my score (87) on. In retrospect that was just plain old stupidity!! I could've easily caused the injury to worsen and increased time of recovery.
