Flying Poodles

Recovery…

At this point, I mostly try not to think too much about how my femur is recovering. Jay tells me I really limp only when I’m tired; it doesn’t wake me up at night; I can sleep on either side without it hurting; I can run if I want to.

Mostly, that is. Yesterday I could feel every single muscle in my left thigh, and every single muscle ached, enough that I took two Advil (another thing I’m trying to avoid these days). I took a very hot bath, and I went to sleep without too much problem. Today… working with the dogs was difficult… I just couldn’t seem to get any speed going, so I ended up doing a lot of short sequences, just two or three obstacles. And even just sitting here, I can still feel that muscle ache, right at the top end of the plate.

I’m whining, I know… a little muscle ache really should be the least of my worries.
