Say it ain't so....

HP04 has been a bad bad bad HP - not blogging and all. But, if its any consolation I've been working out a ton to make up for it. This include a 50 mile bike ride, to absolve myself of guilt for having laid by the pool on Saturday instead of actually swimming in it (thanks TG) and spending saturday night driving up to gmas and nursing her til lunchtime sunday. I won't bore you with the details of my workouts other than to let you know that i'm doing it all - swimming, running and biking. After a particularly grueling bike ride 3 weeks ago HP04 stumbled off her bike (grace has never been my strongsuit) to an incredible pain in the back of her leg behind her knee. After a little internet research i diagnosed myself with a pulled hamstring - who knew they went that far down the leg. Three weeks later i was begining to think maybe a little internet resarch didn't qualify me as a doctor and i'd better have it checked before the weekend (needless to say the bike ride sunday didn't help). Good news - not a pulled or torn hamstring. Bad news - tendonitis. I didn't even know there were hamstring tendons.

"Hamstring Tendonitis: The hamstring muscles consist of the Biceps femoris, Semitendinosus and Semimembranosus, Hamtring Tendonitis inflammation, irritation, and swelling of one or more of the tendons that connect one of these muscles to the bone around the knee."

For those keeping track Hp04 has tendonitis in:
Left knee
Right knee
Left elbow
Left shoulder
Left hamstring

Sweet. yeah, yeah, yeah ice, stretch, rest, advil for pain. Stupid tendons. Whatever....bring on the party bring on the funk HPs are gonna rock Bath County this weekend.
