"Uncle!"

Wednesday, October 29;

Last night, I actually fell asleep wishing I could have my surgery very soon. I've been in a lot of pain this wee. It's required me to sleep with pillows under my arm to prevent me from sleeping on my left side. It's been stiff and really awful. I've actually gotten to the point where I'm sick of myself, because I can't stop talking about it. I wonder how can you all stand to hear about it, when I'm sick to death of it.

Today, we did a little interval training. It would have been fine, but it involved pullups and pushups (both movements that tend to hurt a lot). We started with the row, which for the first time since February actually hurt me as well. Ugh! So much whining!

I thought it would be a good idea to call this one after the first set. It would have been stupid to push it. When I got in to work this morning, I called my doctor to find out what he suggested in terms of my workout. He said, "you can still workout, just nothing crazy." The problem with that is, I consider much of what we do at CFOT "crazy." I couldn't ask a follow up question to that because he just returned my call and left a message. He said, "as long as I don't do anything crazy I should be fine."

I'm bummed because I was hoping to get in a final Fran pre-surgery. Now I don't know if that will happen. I looked up at the board the other day and realized my old Fran time was no longer there! [note stabbing pain through heart]. Sigh.. It's been nearly a year since I hit the workout as prescribed. [long audible sigh]
