You could even get a third serving.
I really hope that leg gets better a some point, for now it seems to have been bad forever.
Friday morning gym
My leg was to pissy to make it any where before that.
Decided to work the leg to keep it un happy in hope that the ortho will see some swelling.

Whoo hoo the hardware is going out! Estimated wait time 2 weeks to 6 months 
Me: my leg hurt a lot
Ortho look at the leg: that is not normal
Me: what do you propose?
Ortho: that is not normal
Me: Can taking the plate out help
Ortho: that may not help or it may help
Me: any other proposition
Ortho: that does not look good but taking the plate out may not solve the problem at 100%
Can I say that he drives me nut. Now I have to see my GP for different pain meds or an other option during the wait.
And yes, the call will be max 72 hours a head!
Gym later tonight with the BF.

Most of the pain is on impact when my foot hit the ground or if I move fast or some thing touch my leg. Ok, maybe it would hurt if I tried some more serious weights too.

After noon visit at my family doctor. She looked at my leg and seem to think that it is some kind of allergic reaction. So I got some fun meds, allergy piles and dilaudid for the pain.
I should be sleeping with that.

Monday rain again.
12km walk (1hr and 15 minutes) with my mom and the dog.
Went to the gym, sat down with the coach and set up a new program. Because, I am not to be left to my own device until the knee/leg are better. I would probably destroy myself.
Had a good talk on how much energy being sore can take and be reminded or realistic expectations.
Did a few squat set. The weather does not help and I had to coach too. I have a feeling that I will not be able to coach much over the winter. That suck because it is so much fun to see my riders figure stuff out and do amazing stuff.

Deadlift could go up a bit but still worry about putting too much weight on the leg. This is pretty much my body weight. Maybe I should hop a scale and see, maybe I did gain some weight but donāt feel it.
