Sooooo, I've had this "thing". It's been around for about 3 months now, but I didn't want to get it taken care of for fear that it would stop me from training while I had to heal up. I don't know the technical term for the area this "thing" was located, but the slang terms I'm familiar with are: Taint, Chode or Cack. Basically, it's where my seat sat between my naughty parts.
ANYWAY, this "thing" wasn't going to wait for after the race to be taken care of and I could barely walk yesterday. I don't know why it decided to get even worse this week, but something HAD to be done!
I called Marianne
(Mav
) because she's a nurse, but couldn't get a hold of her, so I called Tanya because I
thought she had the same problem.
(I was wrong LOL!
) I do know a couple others here that do who are training for IMAZ, but I won't disclose their medical problems here.
Anyway, Tanya suggested I go to the doc, and then Marianne called me back and gave me a TON of information about the problem and that I should get it taken care of ASAP.
Well...an hour later, there I was in the urgent care office with my legs in the air getting this thing sliced open. It almost didn't happen because they wanted to put me in the stirrups!! I don't care WHAT I need to have done, I'm not getting in any stirrups!!! To make matters even more uncomfortable; the very instant the Doc was slicing me open, my phone came to life with a text from JERRY telling me to smear hemorrhoid cream on it! LOL!!
When I got home, Marianne called me and had me do stuff to take care of it that REALLY put me at ease and made it 1000% better this morning!! Having someone that I trust and who understands what I'm going to be doing Sunday did wonders for keeping me from freaking out. I feel like a new man
(although she wanted me to walk around with a maxi-pad in my pants this morning
). I'm not doing that either btw!!
I'm ready. Lets get in that water!!
Actual training
