Re: Steve's "I'm not aging quietly" log
 

Here in Missouri we call those symptoms allergy/sinus problems/infection. They get you down and you don't want to do anything except lay around and nap. I've lost many a day in my life because of it. Frankly, they've been messing with me all week. I'm not diagnosing your problem, although I have watched many House episodes, but merely relating I know a "like" feeling and it is depressing. I'll say a prayer for your health Steve.

[I][B]100928 TUESDAY....

[/B]Finally got a definitive diagnosis. Test for Mono and Epstein-Barr came back negative. I do have a systemic infection which apparently has been going on for several weeks - - back on antibiotics, but according to the Dr. it should do the trick. Perhaps there are more WODs for me in the not-too distant future..:pepper::pepper::pepper:

BTW, thank you to everyone for your concerns, prayers, and well-wishes. You guys all ROCK!

Steve, I'm back, how much longer for you? Are you healing alright? I hope and pray you are recuperating well. Tony

Hi Tony,

Thanks for asking - - not back quite yet. I am feeling tons better, but still am lacking in some energy. Had a systemic infection which I was not fighting off, so regardless of not having Mono, I still got pretty well zapped! I've gone eight weeks now with no real workouts, so coming back will be [I][B]UGLY![/B][/I]

God is good, however and I expect I will come back as good as new. Looking forward to checking on your log in a few. Blessings! Steve

Re: Steve's "I'm not aging quietly" log
 

Hi Steve! Well, that time sounds pretty darn good.

I hear ya about the out of shape thing. I guess my lower body is in good shape due to the spinning & cycling I've been doing. But from the belly up, well, I've seen better days! Been on somewhat of a bad eating splurge as well, which hasn't helped. :shrug:

Sounds like a great wod and an excellent time. Glad to see you back at it.

Re: Steve's "I'm not aging quietly" log
 

Hi Steve. I'm glad you're feeling better! Great time on your first WOD back!

Re: Steve's "I'm not aging quietly" log
 

Congrats Steve on the workout! Good time! Hang in there. If I'd taken off that much time I'd probably had to stop and take a nap in the middle of it. Good job!
