And it is 11 Weeks Later

So here we are another week past and I am becoming more and more active actually spending some time in the yard working and weeding.  I am trying to be careful not to lift much weight so I don't break anything, but still able to function.  I have gotten used to certain things - such as the out of balance girls - it is like one needs to go on a diet and the other one had a facelift and looks much younger.  The remaining issue really is the continued tightness in my abs which is still very hard to describe and early in the morning less of an issue but by the end of the day when I am ready for bed I struggle just to get out of the chair.  I assume it will continue to heal more but honestly, I have to resign myself to the fact this may be as good as it gets.  If that is the case, this will never have been the best decision but one I made and will live with the best I can.

In my head I am ready to add working out to my schedule - easy workouts -  not anything crazy or insane like someone I know.  :)   I have not lifted weights in so long my muscles are melting and all that is left is a really fat body although I weigh less than I have for a few years - I am fatter than ever before.  I would also love to try and ride my bike and when Sue opens her pool I am going to swim because stretching in the water is heavenly and I am still afraid of the hot water in the spa and don't want to "burn" my scars.  Speaking of my scars - I still use the scarguard in the morning on them - but at night I have been rubbing Palmer's cocoa butter with Vitamin E on my long scar - it softens it up very nice and the massage action feels like it is helping the healing process - probably all in my head but whatever. 

Time to start the day.
