STORY TIME!

I fell off a pull-up bar February 2023 and landed on my wrist. It was immediately painful, to the point that I was concerned that I had broken it. Fast forward, I get an MRI, a handful of x-rays, and no one can figure out what is wrong except that I might have a cyst. Finally I get referred to an orthopedic hand surgeon who does some more x-rays and has an AHA moment.

Don’t ask me what he diagnosed. I remember him saying something about the tri-something in my joint. He says we can try a cortisone shit and see if that helps, but then probably looking at surgery. Somewhere around August, the cortisone shot was done, I wasn’t in pain anymore, and got cleared to work out again.

Fast forward again to somewhere around February or March 2024. The pain is back with a vengeance. Go back to doctors, get temporary fixes, etc. They say there might be a cyst, there might be a bone fragment. Another MRI and some ultrasounds don’t help figure out. But in the meantime, I work on strengthening my wrist and pushing through painful ranges of motion.

Here we are, in December 2024. I still don’t have a happy ending for this story. I have a CT scheduled for tomorrow and yet another follow up with an ortho next week. Maybe one day I’ll have an answer. But today I’m happy because, despite it being painful, today I did a 70lb OHS and felt like I could probably do more.

As I said to my friend, “my heart says lift but my brain says probably not.” So I called it on a good lift and left more in the tank. Man, I can’t wait to be able to really lift again.

have some weightlifting videos while i am out running another ragnar

[nibsthefitmermaid]

things i made my platoon do for PT this morning: this. i thought it was a fun way to change up our normal routines but i might have been the only one who thought that 😂 it’s a really great style of workout to do when traveling or not able to get to any big equipment.

it adds up to 91 reps per movement + 20 burpees + 4 mins of planks.

day 22/42.09(67.34km)

2.22 miles walking yesterday + afternoon strength workout. i have been doing a Wendler strength cycle for bench press. i technically just hopped on someone else’s bench with them so the weight was heavier than i probably should have had, but i did 1x2 @103lbs for my heaviest set.

1.7 today doing 60/120s. i forgot to start my watch for my warm up so we’re just gonna pretend like that part doesn’t matter.

time to go take a shower and go to work!
