Sorry to hear that. The Monkey is still a long ways off. I hope you can heal up and at least come run it for fun.
Should I go ahead schedule a doctor's appt for Tuesday after the Monkey (after the quad pain subsides enough to feel the other pains?)
At the doctor's today, he gives me the "that's what I was afraid of" sigh.

Fun run??? I thought this was a torture run. I'm probably going to hit some intense bike miles in the gym to keep up some measly percentage of my aerobic capacity. Doctor strongly suggested that I stay off running until I'm cleared by PT. I'm mostly mobile right now, so I should have a decent shot at getting back to it.

That's what I thought too.... Sorry to hear about your troubles. Biking sounds good, and do you have access to a pool? I found pool running to be pretty decent as far as maintaining aerobic shape too. Sending healing vibes your way and hope to hear this clears up quickly.
What Chenille said. About the biking and stuff. Just keep moving! Even if it is stationary or elliptical. Not scenic and it is difficult to keep staring at the time and calorie counter, but at least it's something. It'll help you in the long run. And, it might be a nice mental break too. You've putting in some pretty damn good mileage this year, despite all of the irons in the fire. Good luck working through this. I hope it goes well for you and that you're in good to go for a serious beatdown on 11/23.
I'm not sure about elliptical, yet. Less impact, but most impact would happen at the hip area. I'll have to ask my PT about it. Before I started running, I used to crank up the elevation and resistance on the elliptical.
One thing I've found is that the machine rank in the following order in terms of bacteria transmission: 1) Elliptical 2) Stair Machine 3) Bikes 4) Treadmill I figure it's a combo of contact with the machine and health of rest of the people using it.
And,fat old men have no shame when it comes to walking around naked in locker rooms. All in all, it's not the most pleasant place for one to be, yet it's a necessary evil for some people.
Good point on this. Now that i did some google research, I can see where elliptical could be questionable. It's probably best not to listen to me! Yeah, gyms are dirty and gross.

DAMN! Well, good luck, strings, and I'm sure you'll keep us all posted!
