Unhappy

I pulled my left hamstring and it is REALLy painful.. It's really all I can do to continue working, driving a car is very difficult... I haven't tried to get into the Spyder since this happened on Sunday, I honestly doubt if I could climb into the car..

It's been 5 days since it happened and it hasn't gotten any better, a trip to the Doc landed me some meds but thats about it..

So if its not any better, or even a lot better by next weekend I don't see how the hell we'll be able to attend..

Its definately no fun at all

Jake,
I hope that you feel better soon.

Ice it down, and see a deep tissue neuromuscular massage therapist.

And you thought this was a forum for German Look only!!!!

"deep tissue neuromuscular" massage therapist ie: "Minister of pain" massage therapist. You won't find one at the Happy Ending Massage Parlor.

Hamstrings are long muscles and take a long time to heal -- even for the top 1% of athletes. Look how long it takes for them to get "right."

I have held off in responding because I really would like to go -- if for no other reason, how much I enjoyed driving my Super past the Spartanburg area when I got the Type IV transplant. Unfortunately, it is just a few days before I go to Hawaii as part of a tennis team that qualified for the nationals.

There will be too much for me to do in preparation. The even calendar looks like fun.

Well....after a Sunday afternoon trip to the E.R. with Jake, we defiantely will NOT be going this weekend. They do believe Jake hurt his hamstring; but, he also has sciatica. Probably some bulging discs in his lower back or something. Anyway, scheduled for an MRI Friday and taking lots and lots of Percocet and steroids. He's at home in bed right now and will probably be there for the rest of the week.

Hope you guys have fun this weekend...take lots of pics.

they're falling off left and right. i am still a go. did some maintenance this weekend. still need to wash it. i'm a little concerned by the looks of my distributor cap, but hoping it will make it as i can not get a replacement here quick enough.

looks like my dad is going sporting a restored fiberglass hardtop on his Speedster too. pretty sharp. most likely my dad, me and nigel will caravan.

beth, can you not rub the man's leg during the trip up? or at least slip him a mickey and haul *** up there in that fine a$$ car anyway? get better jake. you have an email about our current project. let me know what you think.

Guys, had a great time today (even though it took TWICE as long to get there !). I got home way faster going the other way (the right way). Zen, hope you and Nigel liked the CD for the trip home . I can't wait till next years events.

It was a great show and since I am from England I got to see cars that I have not seen in many years. The setting was great, the track time was a blast and I am looking forward to next year with a bigger GL showing.....
