My body feels good, no pain in the lower abs, no back pain but my sleep is a bit off. I am a bit sharp/irritable too. I will try to take some magnesium. It is also that time of the month, it is not like the bad normal thing.

That just sounds so good, made me drool right away.

I have a pound and a half of ground venison waiting to be cooked right now. I’ll probably just brown it in the skillet and mix it in with my pasta and breakfast burritos.

Still feeling good and sleeping ok if I take the magnesium before bed.
I did the neurotype test just for fun. To no surprise I came out a strong 1B.

Tried to run but not happening in my hard shoes.
4 round trip sled push with 45lb. The pull handle are broken and I need a bit more distance to pull as my feet get stuck in the sled. I pushed as fast as I could.

Then I tried to “run” the grass strip that is a lot better even in the hard shoes compare to the treadmill. I did 4 round trips, I do limp but not much pain. But I am a bit careful and my stride is very off. I tend to land on my toes on the left leg and I can’t seem to have a natural extension on the knee. The leg is also slow moving, I think.

I wore my wrist brace because my left arm is still pissed (elbow and wrist). I have way too many extra bits in my body.

Thursday, physio day

As my knee has been feeling ok, my elbow and arm got some attention.
First he had forgot that the hard wear was out and he could not find it.
I feel much better.

Did you have hardware in your arm too or did I miss the leg announcement?

I broke my arm (exploded the elbow joint) 7years a go. Never been sore sonce the plate came out. But this week.

I am 90% better already this morning

Added 2 set of 8 ATG squats very light. So 45lb and 55lb. Just trying to find my balance.
I should not do that but it does not hurt, so just for shit and giggles and see if tomorrow my knee is good or not.

The pain I had over fall/christmas is back and I have swelling in the pubic area. It burn like hell too.
Got to see a specialist and now a “short” 4 to 6 week wait for a ultrasound, then 2 weeks to see her again and god knows how long if I need a surgery.
So it seem like it was not the ovarian cyst that cause the pain.
My knee was just starting to feel good.

I wish I could just pay and have all those test done. I can barely stand up today.
