Too Early for Doctors

Alyssa and I headed to the dr. bright and early this morning to get her test results. For two girls who don't "do" morning, leaving here at 7am for an appt. was quite an accomplishment. There's something wrong with the fact that it is only 8:20 and we've already been to the dr., gone through the McDonald's drive thru, and emailed all of the relatives.

Good news is she does not have a fracture! The down side is there's not a definitive answer as to what has been causing her pain. The dr. thinks she has inflammation in the soft tissue that holds the bone and muscle together. So, she's supposed to stay off of it the rest of this week, and take advil 3x day for the next two weeks. Next week she can start dancing on it a little at a time and ice it afterwards each time. So we'll see how that goes.

Sounds like shin splints?? Ty had them bad this summer when he tried to condition with the cross country team in hopes he would be able to try out for the team. He had to have ice on his leg constantly it seemed! After he stopped running it took a few weeks, and finally the pain went away.
