June Workouts ~ Smokr

[Smoke]

Mowed about half of lawn. Just over 15,500 steps

[fish]

good for you.

can't wait to get the PICC out.

row and mow that day, i hope.

[Smoke]

Took 3 times but finally got it done

[fish]

i hope we are all fighting hard to get it done, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

got to do the work every day, one day at a time.

so trite, so true.

cutting grass is good, and if you have to fix the mower puzzle to get it going, you get at least some of all four.

[Smoke]

With all the rain you can almost watch it grow! I'll have to start all over again Monday

[Smoke]

Work is workout enough. Back Is giving me trouble again. Been to chiro twice... Still hurts. Trying to take it easy and with that said I had to maneuver behind a washout bay to fix the lights.... Didn't help the back.

back is tough. once it is out of kilter, restoring proper balance is like getting a dish spiced properly after adding too much of something.

my drill has been:

stop (as much as possible)

wait until inflammation is reduced.

begin (resume) prophylactic multifidus work.

Really screwed up my back when I was at the hospital with my dad the month of March. Lots of new nerve pain. I've been having some pretty good relief going to the chiro, can sit now with no pain. What's really been nice is my carpal tunnel is almost completely resolved. It was so bad I was going to see about surgery.

Hope your back starts feeling better!

[Smoke]

It's getting there. Ice couple times a day.

Now I dint know what I have.. Hit by a Mack truck syndrome. Felt like crap yesterday and not much better today. Looking forward to going home and go back to bed!

[Pam]

My mom has been sick since last Friday. Run down and the diahrea. Must be something going around.

[fish]

hope every one feels better.

do your DCs give you prophylactic stretching and exercises ?

i am pretty convinced that once there is injury and muscles go into spasm and other muscles overwork to compensate and balance is lost the recovery has to include multifidus conditioning to restore the balance.

and it seems that takes discipline over time.

something i'm not so good at.

[Smoke]

Mine doesn't but I know the routine.... Just need to do it , hard when it hurts. I am feeling a bit better though. Let's hope it lasts

[fish]

let me guess, your cabin doesn't leak when it doesn't rain.

mine too.

[Smoke]

Not a drop !

Pam's up north so she may be a little Mia for a couple dayz, limited service.

What did we do without cell phones?!
