First post since 11/25, post surgery
It feels good to come back to my blog. I have been out for a broken toe, GI big, URI, and the real deal was three fractures in my right hand and an avulsed ligament on 12/7. I had surgery 12/9 and am on a 6 week layoff from lifting. I got a new exercise bike and did 20 minutes tonight with a thrill. I loved it and was ok with my right arm in a splint. Felt GREAT!!!!!!! I have been doing my hand therapy three times per day and that is getting less painful. I hope to actually do some pushing of the steel for legs soon, though have a hard time isolating my right arm.
Appreciate my lifting now more than ever and know it is a lifestyle not a passing interest. I cannot wait to get back. As some may know I have always felt grateful to be able to lift given a type of muscular dystrophy I have. My disease is showing its ugly head in the absence of strength training. I plan on making each rep and each workout the best it can be on my return.
Lastly, have been blessed with family time while out on short term disability. I am enjoying this time with family!!!
