I went to a follow-up appointment with my midwife yesterday. She got my records from the hospital when I went to the ER. She looked over those and asked me a ton of questions before she did the exam. She determined that I somehow managed to pull my round ligament muscle on my right side. She said that the pain has nothing to do with an ovarian cyst and was more than likely the result of having babies back to back and pushing myself too hard with the work outs recently. The treatment is pretty simple...I'm laid up on the couch for the next several days and I have to take anti-inflammatories and muscle relaxers every 8 hours. I'm supposed to alternate ice and heat and generally take it easy. MK...I can TOTALLY do that! I'm going to read, watch TV, and catch up on sleep. Jeff will be working from home and he is simply amazing at running the household while I'm down for the count. I'm SO blessed to have such a capable and caring hubby!
I'm allowed to start working out as soon as I feel NO pain...and I have to take it really slow and build back up. I'm going to utilize this time to do a bunch of research on the 3 Day. We have a team name picked out and I will be attending a "get started" meeting on Thursday evening, where I will get registered. I'm SUPER excited!!!
I still owe y'all a weigh-in. It's coming...sorry!

Dude I was wondering if you were still alive, I tried calling you back twice today, maybe you were sleeping. I am getting really pumped about the 3 day and ready to start my training. Take it easy, and do what your dr. ordered :)
