I get it. Monday was my day. I almost said, “this is it.” I’m down to 85 days today.
You’ve got it bad if you’re counting down.

Usual energy for Mondays. 40/50 something guy in great shape was making noise with REALLY light weights next to me. I’ve seen/heard him in gym for months but I had to comment. He’ said he used to do heavy workouts but now he’s just using nothing over 50 lbs. I told him it certainly works for him.

Workout felt good. I asked a gym friend about his food scale today and discovered he has same arthritic condition I had about 20 years ago. It’s caused by a northern european genetic condition. I’ve been in remission since about 2001, but at my worst I was able to touch index finger to thumb and still have some room left when I would put it around my bicep.
Think about that for a minute.
(Pre illness 18”, now built back a bit over 17”) The friend gives blood about once a week. He’s in exceptional shape, was in desert storm I, and owns an IT company in town.
That 4 am strong gym crowd…..

Yesterday dr. said I have a “frozen shoulder” instead of rotator cuff trouble. True relief since I expected shoulder surgery. He prescribed exercises I can do in gym after workouts, because I told him shoulder pain is temporarily gone after a workout.

May I ask what the exercises are?
That’s good news. You always want to avoid surgery if possible.
Not sure yet. I’ve been lazy during holiday. Will post when I’ve read them sometime this week.
