Well guys, in 30 minutes I’m off to the Doc for my first post-accident checkup (for those of you who remember, I busted my collarbone a while ago playing “touch” football). I’ve been taking it easy, taking in lots of protein, calcium and vitamins, and (unfortunately) not training at all. I’m hoping he releases me to at least do some light weights and cardio. Up until now, I haven’t been able to do anything because I only have one clavicle splint (they run under your armpits like back pack straps) and even without training it’s getting a little funky. Wish me luck, 'cause if I don’t get out and break a sweat soon I’m gonna end up in a bell tower with a deer rifle. Oh, and the “joys” of being single sure eat a steaming loaf when you’re injured. I sure sould have used a good woman to baby my whiny ass during these past two weeks.
“Oh, and the “joys” of being single sure eat a steaming loaf when you’re injured.

(when I had the third cast off my leg I told the nurse she would have to put restraints on me to put a fourth one on grin and i meant it!!! i feel for ya!)
Good luck with the checkup! Hey, I could use a woman around, and I’m not even broken up like you and whining! LOL!
Demo buddy, good to hear from ya. Don’t eat too many “steaming loafs” as it may impeed your recovery.
Some things just make you feel good. After reviewing my X-rays and a few preliminary ROM tests, the doc had me strip off my shirt. He took one look and said “I think it’s safe for you to begin weight training again, just don’t go too heavy. And keep your runs to under 3 miles.” DING DING DING!!! CORRECT ANSWER!!! Now I just have to ease my way back in. Thanks everyone, for your kind words. I’m getting copies of the X-Rays for my personal files (something I highly recommend to everyone) so when a nice, caring girl (unlike Michelle) comes along I can get some de facto sympathy lovin’. All right, I’m outta here!
scowl HEY! what makes you think i’m not a nice, caring girl??? smacks demo snicker glad everything went well, take care of yourself!
Geez Michelle, I’ve never been slapped by a woman before…now you’ve piqued my interest. I’m gonna go take a cold shower and eat a big plate of saltpeter now. I got work to do.
i didn’t slap you, i smacked you…it’s different grin you know i love ya!! seriously though, i’m glad you can go back to lifting…when i broke my leg it drove me nuts to not be able to do anything but sit my ass on the couch. (what’s saltpeter?)
Yes, it’s nice. I had a major case of cabin fever and thankfully can get some endorphins pumping now. Being sedentary SUCKS!! Oh, and
saltpeter is a chemical that is supposed to kill the libido. In the military, prisons, male dorms, etc., the rumors always used to fly that the administrators were putting it in the food to “calm down” the occupants. Kind of like the anti-Tribex.
