Here's what's happening...

OK, I have been to the doctor and he agrees with my self diagnosis; I have Piriformis Syndrome. Now I have to see the physical therapist and I'm hoping that will be soon. Very soon. I went directly from the doctors office to the therapists and got the papers to fill out. Now I have to wait for a phone call this morning. I can't begin to tell you how much this hurts and how badly I want to be rid of it!

It's all very frustrating, but if I can obtain a fairly rapid 'cure', I'm still on for the Portland Marathon. It's been just a little over two weeks since I gave up training and if I can get back onto the path in a another two weeks, I think I will be good to go for a late September marathon.

The good news from the doctor was the fact that I had lowered my cholesterol levels dramatically. Exercise and oatmeal. It's the "Secret".
