Fred's modified SS Geezer log

[BrooklynJerry]

I went for follow up exam on Saturday. I was told no heavy lifting or bending for a week. I have another appointment this week. I will probably have the other eye done soon I guess I'll wait till next Saturday and then start some light work.

[Fred J]

I hope your eye is doing better now Jerry!

The first day back to being able to use the upper body. Everything felt good. I wanted to add more weight but patience is best for now. I may stick to one lift a day for now to limit overall stress until I recover further. I am pretty eager to get the squats worked back up in the direction I had them moving.

Glad to see you finally getting back to the bench Fred... take your time and be safe, maybe I can provide you with a little motivation this time.😉

Thanks fifty. It's gonna be different now as I am not sure how high I can/should bench with this contraption in my chest. When I questioned the EP surgeon when I was in the hospital for the sotalol loading he asked how much could I lift and I said 220 since I was almost there and he said he wanted me to limit it to 50% of that. When I asked for how long at that percentage he said as long as I had the implant. He said at that strength level that I could break the leads going under my collarbone. I am already past 50% the first day back. We will see.
