I’m kind of starting to develop a bad habit that I hope is more random fluke rather than planned tendency – a late spring visit to the emergency room that turns into a prolonged hospital stay.
This past Saturday, I found myself in the hospital due to a softball-sized hematoma that’s been floating around in my bladder (for who knows how long). It took about four days to get rid of it through a continuous bladder irrigation.
Still not sure what caused it, other than the obvious idea that cathing oneself isn’t something the body is accustomed to. Either that or I need to quit having dogs jump up on my lap.
Two days earlier I was giving a talk to employees at the US Dept. of Veterans Affairs, and then out of nowhere found myself sidelined by this hematoma.
The good news is I’m feeling much better and looking forward to getting back to my workouts next week. Normally, I’d be at the gym on Thursday, but planning to take in an afternoon Indians game before getting ready for Game 1 of the NBA Finals, and hopefully a Cavaliers repeat!
My workouts have ramped up a notch as of late with a heavier focus on gait training. My body seems to respond well to the exercise telling my body “something is going on” with every step that my foot encounters the floor.
Someone sent me an email asking why I didn’t get excited about the Kentucky Derby this year. I laughed realizing that I never even mentioned how fun the race was this year especially since I hosted a Derby Party.
I’m thinking it might have been the start of a new tradition – now that’s the kind of late spring habit I can get used to!
Stand Strong!
