She was once a runner

Is the consensus that author is Daniella Jelley?

Was wondering about "we" as well. She mentions she's been wonked out on cold medicine the last few days, so maybe she'll clarify this post by re-editing it when she's better.

Actually, antibiotics, which shows she is still being abused by authority figures.

I don't understand. Elaborate? Are antibiotics considered evil lately?

"Louts"

Now there is a word I have heard in a long time.

That and "bounders".

If you had said "you gullible louts and bounders, your statement would have had more effect.

I meant "have not heard" but then I am on antibiotics too.

Sniff, sniff...

New Post

This latest post seems odd. 6 weeks prior, an MRI showed she had a stress fracture. I don't think an xray is enough to really confirm anything.

Who knows. This story has been getting a little strange lately.

MRIs are more costly than x-rays. Usually they start with an x-ray, but if they think there might be something, they then do an MRI.

MRIs are sometimes used to diagnose fractures because fractures can be too small to show up on x-rays until they start healing. Once the bone starts healing the x-ray will show the resulting calcium deposit. I suspect this is why the author had the tests in that order.

My daughter just got over a stress fracture in her femur. They diagnosed it with an MRI. When she got home from college, 6 weeks after the fracture, the orthopedist, at home, took and x-ray to see that it was healed. You can clearly see on the x-ray the area where the bone was fractured and new bone that indicated healing.

:::I am suggesting you go talk to the coach and quit the team. You are destroying your body and will have stress fractures before the summer is over and permanent damage. I love you but don't understand why you are not the happiest person in the world. i know many, many people who would trade places with you.

Hurting,

Dad

p.s. running career over.:::

to all of the readers out there who think this is fiction and that there really aren't parents out there who would treat their child as such, here is proof positive. my friend who runs for a pretty decent D1 school keeps a blog and she occasionally posts about her problems with reoccurring bulimia. the other day i saw she had had problems the day before and wrote about how she was mad at herself for letting it creep back into her life. her dad apparently saw the post and left this very message.

as soon as i saw this comment, i was astounded at the connection with shewasoncearunner. this girl looks up to her father very much and loves him dearly... but clearly you can see the resemblance to the father in the story...

The disfunction in this woman's life is carrying on to the present day, beginning with her father, then the coach, then the doctor where she was especially susceptible, being "fascinated" with xrays, and now antibiotics.

There's nothing like jumping from the pot to the fire.

What?? They have nothing in common! The section you quoted sounds like a completely wonderful father except for the PS which is probably too much of an ultimatum. Man you guys are idiots sometimes.

What he said couldn't have been fun to hear but he obviously cares about his daughter's health. There's a big difference between encouraging destructive behavior and coming down hard to try to end it.

Yeah, I mean, the quote can be taken kind of rough, but the dad in this case is saying she should quit and all out of concern for the daughters health. The dad in the shewasoncearunner blog seems more concerned with living vicariously through his daughter, and about her scholarship than her health.

Maybe the dad in this case didn't handle it the best, but they are by no means comparable.
