<-- knows exactly how Shannon feels right now
<-- sends (((((Shannon)))))
<-- groans at the thought of <--'s stress fracture from a few years ago (2003?)
<-- felt low impact was the way to go after months and months of no impact stuff
<-- saw Low Max in Collage and thought <-- should give it a try... because it *is* low impact, you know
<-- has been on a journey with all of youse ever since!

}(
<-- now uses the dull throb in the leg as a barometer or something to tell <-- to ease up
<-- first injured it in November, then went in May after months of no running, no jumping, no nothing for an MRI because it was still hurting just as much
<-- was surprised that the MRI only showed increased blood flow in the area
<-- had been convinced it would show fractures
<-- is telling Shannon all of this to just let you know you aren't alone and it may not be as bad as you think... you've worked hard to heal, and this setback may just be a reminder for you of what you're going to have to listen to for the next few years
<-- says now after a couple years the throbbing sensation is very infrequent, maybe once every 4-5 months (it used to be every few weeks!)
<-- sends more (((((Shannon)))))
<-- hopes Shelley bought the dang rebounder already
<-- wonders if <-- told youse that DH and <-- are going away this weekend? we're headed up to wine country today for a friend's wedding reception, staying at a B&B overnight tonight, then over to the in-laws for the April Birthdays dinner with everyone tomorrow night. <--'s parents are coming, too, so it will be a big gathering of all fam
<-- hopes to get through it, LOL
<-- has done the groundwork for the paper and <-- just have 15 pages of interesting and compelling work to do

<-- says DH is going on an actual business trip this week into next weekend, so <-- will be a single gal }(
<-- corrects ^^ to say, a single gal with that paper thing to write! }(
