Update on me

I ran my 10 mile race. It went great. But my back flailed on me. I have a severe ruptured disc that has caused weakness, numbness and intense pain in my L leg. I'm scheduled for spinal decompression surgery on Thursday morning. Apparently this isn't caused by being a fattie, or by my running. I have a genetic condition that causes premature degeneration of the discs in my spine. I'll keep you posted. My doc says to be hopeful - I should be able to feel my leg again, I should be able to walk again soon, and that I should be able to start running again - even keep training for my marathon. Wishing the best for all, ~Lara Say a little prayer?

Congratulations on your 10 mile race. Sorry to hear about your back and all the problems that it has caused. I hope all goes well with the surgery and that you are feeling 100% soon. Becky
