5.24.2023 Life Update

So, I started to work out three months ago. I was going on Tuesday and Fridays.  I was weight training for 2 hours on Tuesday and then 1.5 hours on Friday. I was being careful or so I thought and started with low weight.  Three weeks ago, I felt my right shoulder starting to hurt. It has developed into a serious range of motion issues. This also my casting arm also and with my upcoming vacation this is a concern.

I have since changed my sleeping position to a slightly sitting up posture and this has really helped. I have not been back to the gym, and I also hit a milestone with my weight at 200 pounds.

I went to my doctor, and he prescribed me some more powerful anti-inflammatory medication. I normally take Aleve, and this barely touched the pain.

The weight training has come to a halt until I get through some physical therapy. My doctor gave me some exercises to do, and I will give myself another week of no exercise minus the daily routine stuff. I need to also remember that I just moved, and I am biking a little bit, so I am getting some exercise.

Thank heaven for my good friend and fishing buddy and his son this past Saturday. Without them I would never have been able to move into my new place.

I want to go chase smallies, but I really need to get my shoulder better before I go and swing an eggbeater and or a fly rod.

I have 31 days until my mousing in Michigan tour!

Be well folks,
