Leg work felt easy, but I know I don’t fell pain right away, I will see tomorrow how it is. I would call this movement more then work. But it is a start and I don’t want to know what is the breaking point of that bone.
Feel good, leg curls use to hurt/feel like my tibia would burst from the torque. Not this time.
Also I can feel the muscles of the left leg doing some work. Still have to figure out how the place my feet for the squat as my left foot is tracking differently after the plate and screws removal.
Today’s question: change my truck or run it into the ground. There are some AMAZING year end deals. I could trade my old but low millage F-350 king ranch monster (read 4 doors, 8’ box, dually) for a much smaller/practical not such a fuel guzzler F-150 4x4…
So I kind of just lay low and let my leg rest. My physio think the most of the pain is from the quad attachment.
Blue lotion seem to help too.
Still holding back on slapping some dmso dexamethasone mix.
Tonight we are getting my boyfriend a new car and I am keeping my monster for a bit longer. Still cheaper to pay the fuel and I just love it.
Tripped onto my physio at the gym. He looked tired, saying the coach kick his ass. I call it pay back for the discomfort, he take pleasure, he inflict on us the poor patients.
The Work Out
5 minutes assault bike
Seated neutral row 3x8x105lb/Patterson step up 3x10/Wide lat pull down 3x8x105lb
I feel the step up mostly in and around the knee (tendon/ligament) during the left leg. Coach and physio agree that it is normal and part of the suck it up rehab. It is discomfort during the movement not pain.
Single arm land mine row 3x8x10lb/ KB squat 3x10x16kg kb/Machine back fly 2x10x40lb
Single arm land mine OHP 3x10/Land mine squat 3x10/Pull thru 3x10x60lb/Candle leg raises 3x10
No rest, left the gym in a sweat puddle. The bf was done so I skipped the last 5 minutes of bike. But the left leg got a good work out.
Ortho visit, short.
He looked at the scare, ask to see flexion and extension and said I can go back to work. But won’t give me a new paper so I could start earlier.
2 more weeks off. At least seem like some nice weather is coming so a lot nature walk with Lucifer.
Got a few ladies, from the boot camp class, asking about my leg and the fact that they had seen me on crutches. They were impress by my lift. It is funny they never notice me before the surgery, when I lifted a lot more. Or it is because I still lift more then them after an obvious injury.
2 more weeks of light stuff before decreasing the volume and pushing the weights up.
Yesterday
1 hour walk in the fluffy snow with Lucifer. I should find my snow shoes.

Seated wide neutral grip Row 3x12x100lb

Went shopping with my mom and lunch with my brother and mom.
I can only cope forca short time with my big brother. He is a unhealthy couch potato with major heart issue. He is happy to do nothing, sitbon his ass and eating is his hobby. But as per him is time is counted. I bet in 5 to 10 years, they will be able to 3D print him a new heart. But he use his condition to not help himself.
2 hours of my life suck was enough for few weeks. Or I get aggressive and want to beat him but it is a waste of energy.
Sat, Jan 25
Day off,
Easy walk in the wood with the devil and madevit to the barn to see my old TK rock his stuff in the arena. I hope to try riding him in the spring when my knee is more stable in lateral motion.
