TMI...

This will surely continue to gross out or entertain readers...
So I went to the doctor since the saddle sore thing was not resolving itself.  My friends did a good job of getting in my head that it was something bigger.  Thank you for prompting all those hours of looking up stuff on the internet for STDs.  That was loads of fun.  But it got me concerned enough that I did go to the doctor.  Now this wasnt my normal doctor... but I have seen her before for sinus infections and urinary tract infections so I was going to be quite OK with seeing her for this.  Unlike my doctor she is not aware of this new realm of physical fitness for me.  So she was pretty straight forward on the STD route.  Gotta love that. 
She did mention in passing that perhaps it was fungal.  Look that up and you will find that fungal infections are generally referred to as jock itch.  Does that mean I have finally arrived?  I can now seriously consider myself an athlete?  Maybe, maybe not.  It can also be yeast born.  LOVELY.
So when all the other tests - thankfully - came in negative... we start the fungal route.
My patience has just work thin.  This has gotten to me worse than that bed bug scare/obsession.
Why am I out here talking about this?  Not sure.  Probably to clear my head.  To document where things are with this today.  To purge. 
And maybe because I dont have any patience for any of this to run its course.
I did not work out last night as a celebration of the test results.  I am not working out tonight as I have a mental block from getting up off the couch as I obsess about - well what is this?  What if it doesnt clear up?  All that stuff.
Thankfully it is all more mentally disturbing than physically disturbing.
And I wouldnt be surprised if it is yeast/fungal.  My body has done the yeast thing in the past with little knowledge on my part.  That was diagnosed and treated that to an alert doctor.
So we will go with this.  And try to let it go for a while.
Maybe I should try some peace inducing yoga.
