Not a happy camper

Becardi is not a happy camper today. First, I finally heard back about my hip last week - the MRI didn't show anything except "excess fluid on the hip" so the Doctor said that I should just go to physical therapay and it would be fine. That would be great if I hadn't already gone to 3 months of physical therapy and it didn't get better. Oh, and it would also be nice if the Doctor spent more than 5 minutes examining it and talking to me before he dismissed it. So I call to get a second opinion from a sports med. doctor - who can get me in right away - Great - except for dufus Doctor #1 won't give me a copy of my x-ray and MRI unless I get to his office before 4:30. I can't leave work to get there, because we are swamped - I was here until at least 7 every night last week, and expect to be at least as busy for the foreseeable future. And I don't have anybody that I can ask to go pick it up. So I guess I am screwed.

I am also annoyed at Team in Trainining. I was originally doing a marathon this month with Team in Training. When I kept having hip and foot trouble I switched to a half marathon. Well, dufus doctor told me that I can't do the race (and I do believe him, frustrating as it is, my hip hurts way to bad). So I call Team in Training to tell them I can't do it. Well, that's fine, but they are keeping all of the money I fundraised and I don't get credit for any of it for another race. So now I feel like I am letting down all of the people who donated. If even though I couldn't do this race the money got credited to another race, then at least I would have done it eventually. Now, Team is just taking the money and the people who donated to support me are let down. I feel like a cop out. I feel like I am disappointing people. I sad, but I am also pissed off - and I am never doing another Team in Training function again. If that is how they treat people, they can count me out. I believe in the cause, but I no longer believe in the organization.
