You know what I would like? Of course, I understand you couldn't know, because those few readers of mine are anything but clairvoyant. Besides, I am about to tell you, so you don't need to attempt an answer.
Anyway, I would like this pain in my gut to go away. About two weeks ago, I started having a sharp, though not extremely, pain in the right side of my gut, just below the stomach. It was only acting up occasionally. But of late, it has become a constant nuisance, waking me up in the night, now on several occasions during the night. Even now, I can feel it, still sharp, yet constant.
On top of that, my stomach has been acting up. It has been producing even more gas then it use to, resulting in an inordinate amount of embarrassing flatulence and burping. But the most disconcerting is the radiating pain that travels up into the right side of my rib cage, back to my kidney, and down into my right hip and buttock.
I've been to the doctor, and I have had a CT scan completed. This ruled out a appendicitis, which I am grateful to have learned. So, that is all good and fine. However, I am still experiencing discomfort, and it is not showing any signs of dissipating. Indeed, it appears to be getting worse.
Of course, all this is to explain the lack of posts about the Tour De Rook. With this pain, and not knowing its cause, I have decided to take a short hiatus from bicycling. I don't want to aggravate an already uncomfortable condition. At the moment I am waiting for a call back from the doctor.

I don't know what that could be, but I'm just about positive that it is not good. Virtually all of my own aches and pains are in various muscles. These hardly freak me out -- given that I work in a factory (with piss-poor A/C and summer just beginning to boot -- in Virginia, for Christ's sake) from 6:30 PM to 6:30 AM three nights a week (not including overtime), it's hard to imagine my muscles not hurting. Comes with the concrete-paved territory.
What you have seems to be some kind of trouble in an organ or two. I don't fiddle around with organ trouble. By all means, get that figured out. I don't mean to alarm you, I'm just saying don't ignore it...
