:(
It’s been a rough month. First there’s been a lot of stress from trying to sell our house and buy a new one. I’ll get into that another time. But it’s also really been rough from a physical standpoint.
Obviously, it’s no fun to have broken ribs. They really kick your ass. It’s also been real trying on my wife who has to do so much because I can’t, like driving or carrying the heavy groceries home. Here’s us coming back from the store:
In case anyone missed it, that’s a joke, it’s not my wife and I :)
My original plan was to go back to the gym on May 1, but it’s only been about 5 weeks since the injury. Also, after a brief workout yesterday of climbing stairs and a few minutes of shadow boxing, I woke up with some sore ribs.
So it sucks, but I’m going to have to take at least another week or 2 off from the gym so I don’t just make this worse. That delays getting promoted to another belt by another month, which really sucks because I was just a couple days away over a month ago.
Oh well such is life. People have mentioned switching hobbies to something less “injury prone”? All I know is I’ve broken 2 bones playing basketball and been in the ER for a possible concussion playing baseball. I’ve even managed to break a finger in acting class. Play golf you say? A few years ago, my wrist was feeling odd from playing lots of golf. The doctor? He tells me to lay off golf for a few months :) Almost anything I do I can and do get hurt doing, especially since I hate doing things just part way.
I know yet another month off won’t mean anything in the grand scheme of things. Well it should mean that I actually heal right and I don’t keep dragging out this injury. But still, uggh. At least I know I’m the luckiest guy in the world to have the wife that I do who’s helped me through this. Man is she awesome!
