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....
