:-(
Wednesday
45 minute walk.
Another setback - (will this EVER end?)
I hoped I wouldn't need to blog this, but apart from my celebrations, the main reason I've been taking it easy for the last couple of weeks is that my back pain has been pretty bad. None of the usual treatments have worked so I went back to the chiropractor tonight who gave me more bad news. Apparently my scoliosis has degenerated further and I can no longer put off having one orthotic built up substantially higher than the other. He was very concerned about the damage that even minimal running and walking has been doing to my spine and, coupled with the similar information from the sports doctor recently, I'm really beginning to doubt whether I'll ever be able to run properly again.
Needless to say I'm not feeling too good at the moment. I'll see him again with my X-rays on Sunday so maybe something more positive will come up then. If not, I may have to suspend my 'running' blog and take a leave of absence from CR for a while.

Oh lovely, I'm so sorry to hear that. ((((((JOC)))))) hugs coming your way right now
But whatever you do, do not suspend your CR membership. You are, and will always be, a CR regardless of how far or how often you run. You love the sport; that's all that matters :-)
Never say never Cirque. Soldier on Darlin ! My physio observed that I have (mild) scoliosis and I saved this link some time ago. It probably doesn't tell you anything you don't know already, but here it is anyway ...

Chin up and remember - your always a CoolRunner.
:)
That is awful news.... hopefully they are giving you the worst case scenario!! What ever happens your part of the CR community and we are all here to support. I know it is easier said than done but keep your chin up and hope for some better news.
Lots of good thoughts coming your way!

I can't agree more with everything the others have said. Fingers crossed that the news on Sunday is better.
Please don't leave us :-(
Oh Cirque.
I really hope you do hear some positive news on Sunday.
Either way, take a leave of absence from CR if you must, but remember that you are one of us - it's like your blood group, you can't go changing it willy-nilly.
I'm sending bloody big hugs up north. My physio is in Milperra, maybe for should get her to have a look ;).
Cheers,
Ben
These aren't really running blogs anyhow Cirque. We all just post to be social and keep in touch with everyone.
So even if you never take a step running again (touch wood) dont' stop posting your life stories and updating us on the cirquettes.
My sister has really bad scoliosis and suffers badly so I can understand some of what you are going through. Also you might be cheered to note that she was told bike riding would be good for her - which in turn made her stronger and she is able to run for short distances as well now.
Take care and keep us all in touch.
WHAAAAAAT!!!!!!! Take leave from Cool Running?????? No, NEVER, Cirque! Stay with us, no matter what happens...we belong together & I for one, would hate to think you lost touch. You must let us know how this all pans out; just some updates, please! I'm going to ask Santa to give you a good spine for Christmas, so don't you dare go away! Lots & lots of love & hugs from Chickybabe to you!
Whether you run or bike or walk or gym, you are still part of this community and we want you to stay. Be kind to yourself. Take in all the information then work out what is best for your health. God bless

Hey cirque...
Just dropping you a quick line to say I thought of you today! I hope you had some better news!
(((((((Cirque)))))))))
..... *tapping fingers on table impatiently* Any news to report from today beautiful?
Sounds like what happened to Kyra some time back. She still walks and has taken up rowing, but doesn't talk to anyone on CR except me. Don't cut off communication to CR puh-lease! We love you Cirque, and you're still a Coolrunner no matter what! Hang in there, the shoes may help a lot.
thinking of you honey...keep talking to us. You are inspiring.
what everyone else said. *big hug* and stay strong.
Keep talking to us lovely.
I wish that there was more I could do other than to say I'm thinking of you and wish I could do something more than ((((((((JOC))))))))))

As all have said cirque, you're more a part of this community (CR and playgroup) than most, and it wouldn't be the same without you. I seriously hope there was better news after the latest x-rays!
And to think that you're there sending me all these postive vibes all weekend, and the last couple of days for MY silly little race. Keep all the positive energy for a speedy step back into running again Yvette.
I agree wholeheartedly - don't suspend your blog. Hang in there Cirque - you are an inspiration to others.
