Continuing to progress to the final goal

Another great day yesterday moving around and completing my exercises.  It was tough though being home alone all day and not being able to go outside and go for a walk.  So I made a few laps around the kitchen/living room every hour.

My daughter and grandson were at the house and he was afraid to come close to me because of my surgery and his momma preaching to him to not get close.  It took me two days but I was finally able to get him to join me on the chair so I could read him a book.  I may not be able to get down on the floor and "wrestle" with him, this is the next best thing.  After they left I went outside for a walk with my wife.  She has been a complete blessing through surgery and recovery so far.

Today, I reduced the pain medications from 100 mg every 6 hours to 50 mg every 4 hours.  It has worked great so far.  If it works through tomorrow I will reduce it again on Friday.  Todays bible study I came across Isaiah 41:10 "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."  I was a confidence booster as I started my second set of exercise and was able to make a huge improvement over yesterday.  This was straight up strength without assistance on getting my foot this far.  I did assist with my other foot and was able to go well beyond 90 degrees. 

It has been raining outside today and nobody to help me down the steps so I started walking for 10 minutes around the house.  It is a lot of laps around the kitchen/living room.  Wow, I gotta figure out how to get down the steps so I can go outside and walk.  This will drive me nuts being stuck in the house.  I am not sure why I didn't think about a hand rail before surgery.

Thank you Jesus for strengthening me through recovery.

Testimonies

A big shout out to David Boyer. Since starting my work with David, I have improved in all areas. I thought running two races in two days this weekend would be a challenge. David gave me a plan (which I tried to follow) and I actually felt stronger on day two on a longer more difficult course. But for some goggle/contact lens issues during the swim, I might have gotten on the podium. Still have a lot of work to do before IM Florida but this weekend has given me a boost in confidence. Thanks Coach!

...my coach David Boyer who is not only a Great coach, but a Godly person who texts me scriptures of encouragement at 4:30 in the morning before the race because he knows I've been up stressing about the swim! Thanks to you all I forever grateful!!!

Love Tri_More_Fitness coaching!!! just got an unexpected race day report breaking down the good, the not so good and the just plain ugly (ah, it wasn't that bad) LOVE getting great, solid, very detailed and constructive feedback. Totally looking forward to continuing to grow in the sport...so much room for growth and progress. My only problem is I want that progress like right now, immediately.
