So what have I been up to for the last 1.5 months? Well (short version) as you know I had skier's thumb due to an injury from dodgeball. I had to wear a cast (my first ever!) for a whole month. That was lots of fun. After I got that off, the orthopedic was 50/50 on whether or not I needed to have surgery. So he gave me a soft brace for three weeks. Personally, I wanted the cast back. The cast prevented me from bending my thumb. The soft brace did no such thing. I actually had to pay attention. Sheesh. Well those three weeks have come and gone and guess what? I am not wearing a brace! Yay! I am allowed to use my thumb as normal now however if there is any pain that does not subside or if I do not get my full range of motion back in the next 2 to 4 weeks, I will need surgery. Fingers (and thumbs) crossed that I will not have to do that.
So today at CFI, I finally was able to do KTE (knees to elbows). Holy crap. You certainly feel the love. To make it oh so much more fun, I did them on the rings (easier on the thumb).
AMRAP
10 Kettlebell Swings
10 KTE
Total Rounds: 8 +11
Ripped my callus off again. One of the guys at CFI said to file them down to prevent the ripping of said callus. Why didn't I think of that? Gloves for me tomorrow and for the next few weeks. Boo.
That's not all! Today was the first day of hockey! I was very upset that I didn't think I was going to be able to play this season because of my thumb but look at me now. It was a lot of fun. I also put holes in my shoes (again) but no injuries!
p.s. - While this is not workout related, I also have been talking to an Army recruiter and have scheduled my ASVAB. Study, study, study!
