What’s that you say? 3 whole pulls
ups?
Well… it’s 2.5 months since I tore my bicep, and a week ago I couldn’t even start 1 pull up. So yeah. It’s a big
deal to me.
I’ve also done 30 push ups with no
rest, and 18 unassisted dips. (the last two exercises had been hard because
they stretched the muscle, not because they directly used the muscle.)
The physical therapy is going well.
It’s about an hour and a half now. 30 minutes Ultrasound and massage. Then 50
minutes of Endurance weightlifting. Then ice. Followed by a nap.
It feels more like my body is
working through rust than it is anything else. The time spent waiting made me
atrophy and each day my body feels more and more like it did.
My doctor says that based on the
progress, it’ll be about 6 more weeks of PT before I’m at 90% what I was (I’m a
little skeptical, but cool. I’ll keep trucking along then.). I’ll eventually
get back to full use again. And I’m allowed to start top-roping at the gym in
July.
So, here’s to continued progress, listening to my doctors, and learning everything I can during the process. Thanks for reading. :)
