Found out I’m going to have to get knee surgery in a week and a half. That’s been discouraging and has definitely slowed the spring workout routine.
I guess I work on the upper body for a while instead.
I feel your discouragement.
I've got a new hip coming on Thursday ... so I've gotten some stuff to make immediate recovery better, and will be rearranging the dumbbells and resistance bands to continue doing SOMETHING while waiting to heal enough to go back to the gym.

I haven't done anything in over a week. Grief has taken its toll mentally and physically and I just don't feel well. I'll be on a liquid/soft food diet starting next Monday after an oral surgery so I'm giving my body some rest. Later next week I have my first meeting for roller derby and I am looking forward to that. I have to keep something positive in mind to look forward to because it's just been a mess here.
Good luck to those going through upcoming procedures as well. Looks like we've got some healing ahead of us.

I just started PT yesterday for my shoulder. At the time it seemed easy but I am much more sore this morning than I expected to be.

Thank you, and I do too. I've got some rage to channel. I'm looking forward to getting back on my skates... Which reminds me that I need to order some new wheels.

Yeah, PT can sneak up on you.
I have a fairly high pain tolerance in an immediate moment. When I was doing PT after a broken humerus, the therapist warned me about trying to do MORE than the resistance or weight, the number of reps prescribed or (worst of all) number of sessions in a day. I got distracted one day and went for "extra" on a wall climb exercise. And that night, I woke up in pain when I rolled over, and could not get back to sleep while my arm was throbbing.
The PT departments are at least as difficult to get into as the MD programs. I'm now a believer in their advice.

Yea, nobody gave me the same warning you got lol. I figured a few more reps than they told me to do wouldn't hurt.
Well, now it hurts

Good luck! You’ve got this. Hope your surgery goes smoothly. You can think about working out once you recover. One day at a time my friendFound out I’m going to have to get knee surgery in a week and a half. That’s been discouraging and has definitely slowed the spring workout routine.

My knee is aching, so that always limits me. Hoping it's better before baseball practice today. Can't have the coach limping!

Welcome to the journey!
Things seem to go better for me when I focus on one tiny thing that I can do today.
Best wishes!

This is a way to share an area of weakness that I'm hoping community check ins will help. I'm also hoping for encouragement and inspiration.
Bon voyage!

Thank you friend.
I had oral surgery today and I'm not allowed to do anything strenuous to raise my blood pressure for the next week.
Tomorrow night is my derby meeting though and I'm going for that. Having that to look forward to is keeping me going.

Absolutely! I have a massive bruise on my face today from the surgery yesterday. My roller derby meeting was tonight so that was a little awkward for me because there's no way to conceal it. Hopefully they just thought I was a badass
. Training starts in June! I'm stoked!

At the hotel I’m staying in, the gym is 24/7, which is nice.
However, never trust that you will be alone during a random 2a workout as a man scared the bejeezus out of me as I was mid dance break, screamed so loud I probably almost gave him a heart attack, the hotel clerk came sprinting down the hall and then left with a “Please keep it down
”..
..but I ended up with a cool workout buddy who asked if I could put the music on my phone so we could both have dance breaks together
