How are you feeling? Your lifts are moving back up quickly.

I feel pretty good. Mostly I am surprised by how exhausting the training is. Compared to where I was, it's sort of unbelievable, but I suppose it's to be expected. Not only because of the muscle weakness, but also the mental effort it takes to make sure I am keeping proper form and even weight distribution. But I predict that two weeks from now, I will be in a good groove. This is like the ramp up to the ramp up.

These felt great. Still trying to will myself to roll through and push off my right foot normally. It's better, but still needs work. First doc appointment tomorrow sans boot - which I am technically still supposed to be wearing. Moron doctor.

Finished with 3x8 bat wings; 3x8 back extensions.

Curious what the doctor has to say. Are you going to tell him what you have been doing?

[Margie]

Just back from the doc. Bone is officially healed.

When he saw me in sneakers, he asked if I'd started PT. Very aware of his patients... Anyway, I told him nope, I'd started doing my own thing and he seemed like he was concealing surprise, particularly after he took a look at my foot and said everything looked really good.

He still insisted on PT and told me since I am very active I am supposed to go through PT first before I really train on it. Funny how the training on it seemed to get me along just fine.

I think I have enough resources to structure my own PT. That plus some soft tissue work from my massage therapist should be fine. I am pleased.

And funny how training isn't PT. These people are morons. I don't know what I'll do if I'm ever really sick.
