Since my regular doctor is on vacation, his partner called to go over my MRI and X-RAY results. I always tell them what I think it is and they then confirm. Well, I told her what I thought, she confirmed I was right, but then told me I missed something that was barely recognizable and told me to go back and take a look at the MRI to see if I could identify what she was referring to and we will discuss it at my next appointment.
One thing I am grateful for is my health. Which by the way I still have minus the extra fat face and tummy from being on steroids the last 2 months. I have a 5 days left on the stuff and when I stop them, 2 days later it looks like I've lost 50lbs. It's crazy! Anyways... I'm back in the gym, going hard, with my team, next week, PERIOD!
What the doctor saw, that I missed, on the MRI is sort of a concern but I'm gonna take the advice of my orthopedic surgeon (and other smart people) that took care of my leg and let my body determine what I can and can't do.
By no means will I be discontinuing the journey. I'll just be tweeking it a bit and I'm good with that! I can lift!!! I can do whatever I want to do but as soon as discomfort occurs... I have to adjust what caused it. Pretty simple.
Well, my current fitness/lifting weak points are going to get some serious attention!!! My crew will likely be happy to see me focus on those things until I'm 1000% cleared to re-engage in MY BEST ISHT! :-)
I will be undergoing some physical therapy, therapeutic massages, and diet revamp to attack my injuries as wholistically and naturally as possible (no more meds, no surgery). Strength training is essential to this!
I'm also gonna include some things that I've maybe done once or twice but never really got into like, yoga and palates. I've already added swimming (which I love) plus I continue to self myofacial release and invert myself several times a day which is just amazing all by itself!
Look, as much as it ma seem to suck at times; life is what it is. In this realm we have what we have (health, time, people, things) until something changes.
We are then forced to make adjustments.
We accept.
We adapt.
We Evolve.
There are no rules to this thing, except you have to always try your hardest and you can't ever give up; no matter how much you want to. Things will eventually get better and you will carry forward as you have ALWAYS done.
Blow after blow, after blow, you have to continue to be willing to go toe to toe!!!
