Starting Over Again
Two surgeries and about 9 months of recovery later, here I am trying to ease back into lifting. It’s sooooooo depressing to be benchpressing, every so carefully, with two 15 lb dumbells instead of with 90lbs of barbell. But, it’s something, and I’m sore today, so that counts.
I have to be really, really careful. This poor wrist of mine had three pins through it, several ligaments scraped and sewn together, and 4 months of complete immobilization. I’ve tried a couple of times to start lifting lightly again and failed. This time I hope it’s not just a false start. Especially since I have a promise ring on my finger, and the real deal is only a matter of time. That means pictures. I’d really like to look my best again, or at least on my way to it.
