So I mentioned briefly last night that I was medically cleared to exercise. Yey!! Let me offer some color to that statement. Wednesday I was cleared to workout again. To the doctors surprise by my follow up appointment day, post op day13, I had no physical signs of swelling or bruising. I keep hearing stories of people being out of commission for 4 weeks or more. A little scary but the stories were nevertheless, very superficial to me. It absolutely pays to be healthy, persistent on recovering fast and staying positive! The doctor had a smile of amazement from the progress I had made, and told me everything looks great! For precautionary measures he did recommended that I refrain heavy lifting for 1 more week, which is fine with me. Most of my workouts do not involve weights, rather I use my own body weight with the knowledge and principals of different muscle building and toning techniques along with stretching and self care. I am still perfecting the art of patience though! I know that I am not totally healed yet( Id say 85%) and even though I want to go hard right now because of how good I feel, I shouldnt. I remind myself to take it slow, be consistent every day, stay persistent at the activities that I do, have a positive attitude through the tough sometimes painful times as well as the good and have 100% faith in recovery! Because of of this I have a strong belief that my core will be solid and strong soon. ~Everyday and in every way I will be better! Checkout the surgery that I had to undergo! The stringy white, Saran Wrap looking substance is called fuzz or fascia. This Doctor heats up the thin layers of connective tissue and some fatty tissue melting them thus allowing separation so the doctor can do his work. youtu.be/VGVlf6LlQ3s The process in which a substance is usually thick under static conditions but will flow over time when agitated somehow like when heat is applied is called Thixotropy. This is the same principal that is used in my profession! I have the power to melt your muscles without using a heated crimper! What Is your super power!!!
