The follow-up appt after my surgery
Yesterday was my dreaded follow-up appt for my appendix surgery… I, being a worrier by nature thought I may hear some bad news. Much to my surprise the doctor said I am healing faster then 95% of his patients. Awesome news! He also gave me the green light to start walking all I want and do light yoga. Something is better then nothing right? I also learned in about a week and a half as tolerable I can start running again and resume other forms of cardio. The catch…I cannot lift any weights until my 6 week mark….which is about a month away.
I figure something is better then nothing and starting tonight I am going to slowly start walking as tolerable and in the morning I will do some yoga. That will be my routine for the next week and a half then its back to lgiht running and cardio progressing to intense cardio for about 3 weeks… then its back to weights [the one form of exercise I LOVE].
In the meantime I am going to keep up with my clean eating, hydrate, hydrate and oh yeah hydrate…keep up with my supplements and get plenty of sleep at night to heal.
Thats it…
