To say it has been a crazy week would be an understatement! I was back to the orthopedics office twice....once for me, once for Slade. Poor kid fractured his wrist playing football, but that is a whole other story. I met with the Kristen, my orthopedic NP this week. Went great, my knee is ready for surgery. I then went for my EKG and pre-op blood work....surgery is one week from today and I'm feeling great! Hit the gym this morning after 2 days off due to my crazy week and I had another great workout!
5K on the Elliptical (Shaved over a minute off my PR since injury)
(3) 12 step ups each leg
(3) 12 modified squats
(3) 12 leg presses (increased weight)
(3) 12 leg curls
(3) 12 leg extensions (increased weight)
(3) 12 inner thigh machine (increased weight)
(3) 12 outer thigh machine
(6) 25 abs
(3) 12 side bends each side
On two occasions this week I have been reminded how nice people can truly be... First was a secretary who went above and beyond to help me out when I went through Mom panic when Slade fractured his wrist. I left her a message thanking her the next day and she called me back to thank me for the nice message. The second was the girl at the valet where I had my blood work done. She stopped me and asked how my knee was doing. She remembered me from when I first injured my knee and was going in for my brace. That was a month ago....not only did she remember me, she remembered my injury and how I hurt myself. I still can't wrap my brain around it.... How refreshing it was to cross paths with 2 such special people. Life is too short to tolerate the negativity that surrounds all of us. I have a long recovery ahead of me where I am bound to run into a few bumps. Today I am choosing to focus on the positive! I have been given a fabulous life and family which I am choosing to celebrate. If that life involves running after surgery, a bottle of wine, Burtons and Social Networking, so be it. To all the haters, bring your misery elsewhere!
