Getting Better

It has been 3 weeks since my injury. I finally feel like I am on the mend. I went to the community center with my daughter yesterday to work out. The treadmill was too painful to walk on after a little bit even going very slow. I felt ok on the eliptical and standionary bike. I did not work up a sweat. I will try tonight to push a little.
My left leg still has some numbness. My low back in one spot is sort of painful to the touch -it sort of feels like something is wrong with the left hip too but I am sure its just the radiating nerve thing from the spine.
I got lucky that my vertigo I had my 2nd week did not continue much after getting off the over the counter motion sickness meds- I was on them for 4 days. My doc thought the motions sickness would take up right where it left off before I started the med but it was not as bad as it was before that. I did stay off the computer for the first two days because wearing my glasses made me the sickest.
I was sort of lucky that I did not have to decide whether to go to the snow shoeing marathon and 1/2 marathon this past weekend and whether to do the full or half. It was so cold. I miss running so much. I miss being being outside, I like feeling like I am tough. I gained 5 pounds!!! I watched the biggest looser last night and think it helped my diet motivation.
I have got to decide what to do now? Go to a specialist? Have another epidural? I signed up for Grandma's marathon yesterday- I have to get better now.
