Leading up to my August 27 surgery to fuse two neck vertebrae, I have been hitting the weights very hard.  My hopes are to recover more quickly.  I have also increased my protein intake.  Today I bought some supplements for post-surgical recovery.  Apex Performance multi vitamins, vitamin C, Arginine/Ornithine.  I will continue to high does my protein, as well as vit. C, etc… 

Two weeks post surgery I will begin to add vitamin E gel caps for internal and external healing.  Prior to that, it would risk causing bleeding, thus being counterproductive. 

I don’t plan to baby this thing, just to work out intelligently.  I may have to do very light weights, very slowly, for high reps; however, that will be much better than lying around waiting for healing that won’t happen!

I’ve done this before for some ortho surgeries and have recovered extremely fast!!!  My career hinges upon this one being successful, so I’m putting 100% into it.
