My Journey Through Rehab

Well it didn’t go as well as I hoped today. Doc says it’s a partial tear and all I can do is rest it for the next 4-6 weeks. No lifting no nothing in that time. After that heavy weights are gone forever. Best I can do is lift very light weights at high reps, like 40 reps per set. That and do the negative part of the rep 3 x as slow. Was gonna run tonight but I’m feeling a little bummed so I’m gonna skip it. BTW he also said no softball or golf for the same period. Softball season will be over by than and maybe I can get on the golf course for the end of the season. It is what it is!

Well coming home on the train I decided since I probably can’t lift for a while, I’m gonna lose muscle so I might as well lose some fat too. I decided to start running 3 times a week hopefully about 4 miles a trip. I was only running once a week, generally on Sunday mornings. Maybe I’ll get a bike and start riding that too. Doctor’s appt is Thursday so we’ll see what he says then. Can’t sit around watching TV. I was in to good a groove to stop and do nothing. I’ll see if I can’t get back under 200.

I was doing curls on 7/16/07 when I felt two pops in my left arm. Went to the emergency room they took x-rays and tested the strength by forcing me to pull and push by using my bicep. I passed but it looks different, like it’s not attached to the elbow, hurts when I straighten it, so I’m gonna call a sports doctor tomorrow see if I can get it checked out. Have a feeling I’m gonna need surgery. Might have to step up the cardio.
