I have dreamed about running 3nights in a row. I don't even consider myself a runner anymore because I only do it for excersize now. But I dreamed about running with Josse. I dreamed about running South Fork and I dreamed about running hill repeats up the North Temple Side. I got the go ahead for the elliptical yesterday, so here I go. My recovery has been gross: twisting, sitting up, reaching for things pulls at the stitches and gives me the sick feeling I am tearing my own flesh. In the night my abs spasm where they sewed me up. It wakes me up, but it's getting better. The morphine and Lortab took 4 days to get out of my system. I appreciate the pain relief, but can not understand why anyone would take that stuff recreationally . It made me feel a prisoner in my own body instead of the driver. I am glad I made the decision not to also have my gall bladder removed. It was the right decision. The trouble is and has always been my liver, it just doesn't store sugar right. Anyway, here's to the elliptical. I was wise to buy one when I wrecked my hamstring up so badly in 2011. It's come in very handy. I have all restrictions removed in 5 weeks, but will work light running back in around the 3 week mark. As I have lay in bed, I have been mulling over in my mind the reality those who lost limbs last week are facing right now. I can't imagine waking up with no foot, leg, or legs. Not to to mention the folks in Texas and the explosion. What a terrible week. 45 min elliptical / resistance 8 |
