Memorial Day Weekend

Well, my hopes of going camping for the weekend got squashed when J found out his schedule. He isn't working his regular job, but he got voluntold to work the customer service desk at the hospital Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 1800 to 0600. (Ya like that military talk, there?) We were both more than a little bummed. It's now almost noon on Saturday and I expect him to sleep for a while longer before he gets up to go back to base. A&M are in Houston for the weekend, so it turns out I have a lot of free alone time. In a way it's nice, though. I slept for about 10 hours last night. B-E-A-Utiful! :) Then, this morning I spent a couple of hours at the gym. I'll probably end up getting some groceries this afternoon and going to bed early tonight. :)
I got my bone scan on Wednesday. I haven't heard from my doctor yet, but the radiologist confirmed that it is definitetly a stress fracture that has kept my shin in pain these past 3 months. I guess that explains why it's lasted so long. He told me that it is actually almost healed now. At this point, they probably won't do anything about it and according to him, I should be able to start running again. He said that it's normal for it to flare up and hurt a little bit as I ease back into running, but I won't actually be causing any more damage. However, after getting my hopes up *so* high, he gave me the "This is just my professional opinion as your radiologist and someone who has been dealing with sports injuries for years, BUT I'm not your doctor and you need to wait until you hear from him" disclaimer. Blah blah blah. I just want to RUN!!! I'm hoping to hear from my doctor on Tuesday.
