Walked 18 holes of golf which seemed to help my groin some what, I am still not able to run though! But, that's okay I think SGM is out of reach now anyway:-( I still haven't withdrew yet for the simple reason that I am still hoping for a miracle, but I am not real optimistic:-)

My son Ethan did well in the State Baseball tourney, at least for the level of talent that they had! He had a home run and a bunch of RBIs and did some pitching, they had a heart breaking loss in the first round, but they never gave up! Not bad for skinny little ten year old!

See ya later...

Hang tough there Clay, sometimes miracles happen. But if it doesn't then you get to enjoy that much more golfing on Saturday mornings and look forward to a killer SGM next year.

Sorry you are still out of commission. It took me about 8 visits to the doctor for my groin issue to disappear, and it finally has. Rest is good but treatment is important too. So what is this machine you have? A-Stem? Is it the electro-acupuncture my doc is so fond of?

From Clay on Tue, Jul 22, 2008 at 11:45:28

The E-Stem machine is the same thing that Dr Brady used on me except it doesn't use the acupuncture, it uses patches... It seems to work well but I am wondering if it is something more serious because it seems to be getting worse, so I don't know what to do...
