Despite not posting my training log, I am putting in the hours. Teaching is taking up MUCH more time than I anticipated so I always feel like I'm running around like a chicken with no head.
(disclaimer: I've never seen a chicken with no head but I hear they freak out and run around, which is the part I can relate too).
I went to the doctor on Friday and they gave me two options to fix my Ulnar nerve (numb pinky and ring finger). I can wear a brace for a month and hopefully that fixes it or a simple surgery where they release the pressure. At most I'd be down a week. I guess that's good news, not much of an interuption. I can still ride and I taught spin class on Friday, I just take the brace off.
Have a brace that keeps your arm straight is awkward. You'd be surprised at how many times you actually bend your arm. I do have a funny story. I am on an Peanut M&M kick right now. I poured some in my hand and went to throw them in my mouth, but with the brace I couldn't bend my arm so they ended up in the backseat where Hank (My dog) was more than excited to receive them. I was laughing so hard I thought I'd have to pull over. What an idiot I can be. LOL.
I received an email request on putting together a training video. I never really thought of that but it intrigued me. I may do that just for the fun of it. I'm not sure where I'll find the time though.
Also, my doctor put me on sleeping medication to help with my insomia. These things are awesome. I wake up around at 4am for the gym completely energized. On days I don't workout, I get up at 7am, wide awake and energized. I bought a case of 6-hour energy bottles but haven't touched them. I've never felt so rested, relaxed and energized. I love them.
Anyways, it's spring break so I don't have to teach this week so I may make a workout video and post it here so you can all laugh at me. I dont even have a camcorder. Should be interesting.
hey don't let them cut you up.
ReplyDeleteAMA doctors are way to excited about trting to experiment a fiddle around until you get better or they just give up after 15-20 years of surgery and pain.
i've had sooo many good friends go that route and they all, i mean all regret it.
many times the body can and will repair its self. try a chiropractor or suppliments or yoga, but not surgery unless pain is at 9 or 10 on a 1-10 scale.
