Fighting Debt and Bad Health [among other things]

Well it’s been nearly 6 months to the day since I injured my shoulder. It has taken that long for it to heal. Let it be known that the shoulder takes LONGER than any other body area to heal! That and the back, which I threw out last week. That’s an entirely separate post. Eh [...]

Yes, so I’ve been meaning to update my shoulder. It’s significantly better these days. Still hurts to do a few things but I have the full range of motion back and things are otherwise peachy. I still stretch to do things involving a lot of shoulder movement. Oh, my doctor even TOLD me to play [...]

I can say now that my shoulder feels about 85% up to par. Which is funny since I can’t wait to play golf again. I’m really not that great at it but it’s hella fun to just get out there on a hot day and hit a tiny object with a metal stick towards a [...]

Honestly I have good days and bad days. So far, today is a good day. Slow healing makes for extreme frustration. Doing the exercises really seems to help. I’m quite sore after I do them but I take that as meaning those muscles aren’t very worked. It’s not the shoulder muscle that you see on [...]

6 weeks to the day now. My shoulder still hurts but it’s made good progress. A lot of movements I couldn’t make without pain early on, I can now make. There are still some movements that give me trouble. My range of motion is excellent but when I try to lift something in a certain way, [...]

Well I went to the ortho yesterday. The prognosis remains good. X-rays show nothing wrong with me bone structure. YAR! He gave me some specific exercises to do for strengthening the rotator cuff. That’s pretty much the #1 way to avoid injury to that area.
While many heavy lifters focus on how awesome their deltoids look, [...]

My shoulder just doesn’t seem to want to relent. All of this from a poorly judged method of getting into push-up position. Well I go next Wednesday and they’ll be sure to x-ray me and poke and pull and push my arm. If nothing at all shows up they might request the MRI. BIG MAGNETS! COOL!
I [...]

Sorry I’m not doing these… well… daily!
I’m learning quickly that rotator cuff injuries are the devil devil devil. These things take a long time to heal. I’ve been working it a bit too hard the past couple of days and I’m going to give the elliptical trainer a break I think. It just feels sore [...]

Weekend was decent. Made it to the gym. Didn’t eat super but didn’t eat bad either. Shoulder got sore yesterday but seems better today. Will try to gym this evening.

Another good day. Ate well. Gymmed well. I’ve done interval cardio for three days in a row now. I know that’s not exactly the best thing. Until my shoulder heals I’m staying away from strength training my upper body. Probably another week or so I might start on it real lightly.
