No cast is stopping me!
So I went to the orthopedic today and it was good news. I do not have a fracture. Well I guess that is good news. What I do have is Gamekeeper's thumb. I now have a short black cast to keep me from moving my thumb that I have the pleasure of wearing for one month. After this time is up, I will see another specialist who will take the cast off and see if I need to get another cast on or have surgery. As you can guess, I'm hoping I will be fully healed and ready to go. Fingers crossed. With that, today was my first day working out with the cast. Of course I'm still going to workout! I hope you didn't think I wasn't going to because if you thought that then you really don't know me. The Rx'd WOD today was
AMRAP in 12 minutes of -
5 Pull-ups
10 Push-ups
15 Air Squats
For those of you familiar with CF, this is just a short Cindy. Sadly (and I really do mean sadly), I can't do pull-ups or push-ups for the time being. So my modified WOD was
AMRAP in 12 minutes of -
5 ring incline press
10 push press (30 lb DB right arm only)
15 squats
Total Rounds: 13 +5 ring incline
I was happy that I did get past 12 but I was pushing for 14. Hopefully the next time this rolls around I will have my hand back. The most I have ever done on Cindy is 19. I have never been able to hit that 20. Next time. Anyways the workout went great. I was sweating and working hard. Believe me I know there are worse things that can happen then being slightly inconvenienced with a cast for a month but that doesn't mean I'm not counting down the days until this fiberglass is off....
