Well, getting back can be tough. Most injuries or surgeries may be reminded of, but don't live every day. I can have MCL knee surgery, and my knee can be 100%, only a scar. One can break a clavicle (collar bone), and have it healed. Maybe that's why people have a tough time moving on. In a poll, only 77% of people said they had good quality of life. To me, that's staggering. That means by their own admission, 23% of people facing J pouch surgery, connective surgery, and other G.I surgeries are not doing well. I think this gets overshadowed way too much. Notice I used the term quality of life! Focus on that.....Where is yours at? Really on a scale, no not a weight scale (will get into that later). There is a difference between success rate and quality of life. Success is a surgery or medical procedure that went well. However, for the 23%, and probably more.....you may have been a "success", but yet QOL is down. It can be you're facing a downward spiral in your life, mentally, emotionally, or physically. Or maybe you're down about dating..... IDK, just food for thought.
Well...my blog, simply put..I will try to be logging (probably not all the time) efforts in getting back.
I will be logging calorie counts on occasion. Progress, and tips that may help. Look, I know I might sound spunky, but we have probably all been to that deep dark place. Sometimes it might come and go. Maybe our own insecurities get in the way. Hey look, that's okay...it happens.
- It may not be all lifting, calorie counts, tips, and getting back. I will also talk about anxiety and who knows, maybe the upcoming NFL draft. haha. Just chill and relax.
Brief Injuries:
3 concussions (on record).
Hairline fracture to skull.....boys will be boys!
10 fractures. - Ankles, clavicle.....
Dislocated shoulder, dislocated bicep tendon (played a whole BB season with that bad boy ....can someone say Chiropractor)
- AB surgery.
- TIA
* I will be editing some of this and the blog, right now just fired it up to get it started.
