No DL For Me

If I were a multi-million dollar athlete chances are I'd be on the 15-day (or longer) disabled list. But I'm not and I'm not.

I am seeing my orthopedist tomorrow for a shot of cortisone (the second in three months) for a persistent pain in my right leg. The first shot didn't completely do the trick so I'm hoping this one will.

I came up short playing tennis this weekend when I tried to move to my right. The pain was intense.

No trainer or manager raced from the sidelines to tend to me. The media did not examine my every leg muscle nor talk with countless medical specialists as to how serious this might be or how long I might be sidelined.

No story appeared the next day speculating on my condition or who might move into my slot in our foursome.

After massaging the leg myself for a minute or so, we continued playing. I could not go after every shot as I might have but we muddled through.

As usual, the post game coffee and donuts were the highlight of the morning.
