Which came first?

A question many people have been asking me to be honest I don't really know.
Many of you will know that I went to hospital on Monday with lower chest and back pain. Initial results from the hospital indicated pancreatitis as I had an elevated level of lipase. Lipase is the indicator for pancreatitis and back pain is a secondary problem that arise's. It is quite strange really and I don't really drink, eat pretty well and had no fatty foods on the Sunday. So it is all a bit of a mystery. The gastro Doctors at the hospital wanted to blame the back pain as the primary problem but my GP and further investigation indicates this is not the case. As you can't get pancreatitis from back pain, I can only presume I had pancreatitis before the back pain started. Everything else that was tested was all good, but I did get tired of the alarm going off for having a low pulse.
So this week I will be off the bike, hoping for my back to fully recover. A nice massage this morning hopefully will do wonders. Can't wait to hit out some good training sessions all this lying around is making me go crazy. I'm getting in trouble from Kendra as I had done a few little jobs around the house, she is always looking out for me, making sure I do the right thing. I'd better read some more of the huge pile of mags that Jase gave me instead. It is strange after trying to fit everything in when I was training to lying around taking things easy.
Thanks to everyone who was concerned, it was great hearing Kendra's phone go off, good to have all the support.
