Subject: RE: Ghoulie Azzatar challenge- do it or else!!I'm not sure i gave you guys the post-doc visit update yesterday, so... I get to keep wearing the sling, the bone is healing nicely, the fragment hasn't moved (which means it won't unless I re-injure it ). I can do more pasive range of motion, meaning I can use my other hand to move my arm, but can't move my right arm on its own. I can get in the pool, and let my arm float, but no reaching up over my head, and again no active motion. I can get on my trainer, or on an elliptical that has a stationary handle. I go back in 2 more weeks, for another xray, and maybe start some strength exercises at that time. I told him I have a tri in May. But it's only got a 300 yard swim in a pool, so...should be ok. If I'm up to raising my arm and pulling by then. Or maybe I'll just do sidestroke. On my uncoordinated side. LOL. But the bad news is this....I fell going out into my garage last night. And I'm pretty sore today from it. I don't think I did anything too terrible to my arm, I mostly landed on my butt and left side and then slid down about 3 stairs...but it was enough to shake me up and give my hubby something to tease me about today at an open house at the high school. SO, I'm a little sore today. So I didn't make it to the gym to try out the pool or elliptical.  Maybe tomorrow afternoon or Friday. Oh, and guess what? Thursday (tomorrow ) is our 15th wedding anniversary. Yay! Maybe my hubby wil take me out for steak, and cut it up for me so I can eat it. I am getting a little tired of pasta, LOL. |
