Today my son had his surgery on his hand. The burn ward temperature is about 85 degrees farenheit - and there is suppose to be no open windows or doors. Thankfully because of his handicap we have a room to ourselves we can adjust a bit.
While he was at surgery I did the first new exercise, the Pyramid. OMG - a killer! And I'm sure I will feel it tomorrow. Then I decided after he was back from surgery and I fed him some lunch and he and hubby were playing a bit, I'd do cardio. My option I picked - stair climbing. That was INSANE! And I could really, really feel how out of shape I am! I keep feeling stronger and better everyday with the other exercises but wow - that kicked my butt!
I managed the third workout while my husband fed my son his dinner (not only can he not normally really eat by himself but now one arm is completely bound in for the next two weeks). He still can't walk from where we fell down the stairs - so we are really doing good here! Tomorrow is the trial - and please, please, send prayers and happy thoughts to my son! This test has been dreaded for a long, long time (an EMG if anyone knows what that is).
Food - still totally 100% on plan but honestly having a problem eating enough. WHAT? Having a problem eating enough? Something is seriously wrong here! (or seriously right!)
I'm totally wrecked from the heat, the surgery, the stress, the new workouts, and yeah - just tired. Amazingly (and gratefully), hubby didn't comment or get in the way of me being silly and laying on the hospital floor doing exercises. That IS a step in the right direction. Another point for seriously right! :-)
Thank you all for being the team that is 'cheering' for me. It makes me feel accountable - but in a super, positive way!
