Happy Canada Day

1 July

Highlights from the last week:

-I really stepped up my time with the TENs Unit. Which expedited a lot of minor issues healing up.

-Glute pain /tightness ceased to be an issue Monday /Tuesday. In its place my groin seized up. More TENs unit and it cleared up by Wednesday. Progress is progress.

-Physiotherapist (PT) put me on a stationary bike. It was not too bad, ROM is solid except for coming out of full extension.

-Seated Internal Rotation is solidly improving moving to a heavier band today. (Yellow to Red Theraband)

-Increased Band tension for some glute exercises (straight leg extension backward). (Yellow to Red)

Straight leg Extension Backward

-minor groin tightening during side leg raises (standing). (Yellow)

standing side leg raise

-I have yet to get in the River for a swim. Today is out because of thunder storm warning. Tomorrow perhaps.

1045 hrs 
Pulled out the TRX today.

Rows 2 x 25
Y's 1 x 25
Face Pulls 2 x 25
Bicep Curls 2 x 25
OH Tricep Ext 1 x 25
Chest Press 1 x 25
Squats (to F'n Parallel /90 Deg) 1 x 11
Slow shadow boxing 4 min

It is a start. Good muscle pump in my rear delts and back. Squats felt good. Still in the experimentation stage with what I can and cannot do. Which almost changes hourly some days (good and bad changes).

Walking full time around the house without the Cane. Standing is preferred to Sitting. When I sit longer than 5 min I am stiff getting to my feet.

Going Out I still bring the Cane with me. There is not always spots to rest. In addition having the Cane works as a notice to other people to stay away (don't get bumped by mindless people) and if they do get in my bubble i use the cane to suggest they get out (not above hitting people with me cane to protect myself. Ha)

Keep Moving Forward, Keep Getting Strong(er)
