Exercise Log (yesterday)

Work network down yesterday.

Twice around the building, once each way. Blister on right thumb finally burst and I gratefully tore it off. Now growing one on left thumb.

I'm not using the bicep much either. Wrist turned wrong. It's the one on the outside of the arm (triceps brachii, lateral head?). Bummer; biceps bigger and stronger.

Second job

Yesterday afternoon I was trying to work out a schedule for applying all my lotions and oils, the PT exercises from each place, the visits to the PTs, the chiropractor, and the odd doctor's appointment or two. It doesn't leave much room for things like taking the cats to the vet or getting down to REI to look for better gloves.

Physical therapy and chiropractic alone are about seven hours a week. Exercises assigned by those folks are easily another hour a day if I do 'em all. I can skip exercises assigned by one PT place if I am visiting that one that day, though. Four times a day I should be applying some sort of goo, and I should ice (5mins to 15mins) as often as I think of it (up to once an hour). That doesn't count actual doctor visits or wheeling around the building or swimming.

No wonder I feel like I have a second, part-time job. I do. (Except I pay it.)

This is what I wanted to address when I said I was "giving up". I haven't cut any of these things yet, and I'm reluctant to let go of something that might be doing some good, but this can't continue.

Connectivity unreliable

The network link here has been up for a couple of ten-minute chunks so far today. It could vanish again at any moment. If I owe you responses or e-mail, this is part of why it's not arrived yet.
