Well, it's 3 weeks since I began physical therapy for my wrist sprain and I can honestly say, IT STILL FUCKING HURTS!
My physical therapist, or as I like to call him my "PT" believes that I hurt my puney wrist because I am lacking the strength in the areas needed for me to perform the activities that I am infatuated with. Most importantly my mid/lower traps and lower abs are not strong enough to support my weight. He did tell me I have huge lats (not something you want to tell a girl...HUGE anything [unless you are referring to boobs] is an insult and push toward borderline eating disorder...thank you very much!) Anyway, I am now working on strengthening and lengthening those muscles. So not only do I have "huge" lats and no lower abs, I also have short retarded muscles. If ever you want an ego boost...don't go see my PT.
Aside from being uncensored and brutally honest, he knows his muscles. I already feel stronger and my abs are more solid than they were 3 weeks ago. And just a side note, those stupid leg lifts they have us do in yoga and other fitness classes are total BS. If you do a leg lift and put your hand over your abdomen you will feel you upper abs firing up and popping out. No one ever told me to do this, therefore I have been building more and more muscle in my upper abs which are doing the work for the lower more important abs. PT says "the strong get stronger, the weak get weaker." PT is a genius! Great. What a way to find this out. So basically if I were told proper technique I could have avoided injury. Well now I know better. I also learned that I have more supination on my right side then I do my left, which is again, how I injured my left wrist. Last year I messed up my ankle because I have a pronated step. This year I don't have enough supination....WTF??? FML.
So now I have missed my pole and aerial classes for 3 weeks. In pole there is a huge learning curve (for someone like me who doesn't have a dance background) and I injured myself before I got passed the curve. So now when I go back I have alot of catch up to do. I think I am going insane by being away this long. I also had to put yoga on hold since my new found obsession is anti gravity which is all inversions. (By the way, I am going for Anti Gravity certification training next month!! Can't wait!) I am not mobile enough these days and I have no desire to step foot in a stinky gym, so what have I been doing to occupy my time??? SHOPPING! So please, if there is God, answer my prayers and get me back into tip top shape so I can spend my hard earned money on fun classes and not another 50 bathing suits that I don't need!!! I suppose it could be worse right? But let me bitch about my situation because its all I have!!!!
