So at the time I'm typing this, I look down, and the threads on the front page contain:
Tennis Elbow and Shoulder Pain
Rotator Cuff Surgery
Shoulder Impingement
Broken Thumb
Anyway, so a lot of us are dealing with injuries. As for me? Turn ulnar collateral ligament in my right thumb. Happened on 12/30. Took a week and a half to diagnose, as it didn't seem that bad when it happened. Anyway, surgery a little later, and 4 weeks with a pin in my thumb (sticking out through the skin). Doctor wouldn't let me swim due to risk of infection. 4 weeks. Grumble, that's 6 weeks total. Pin out yesterday. Still no swimming for another 4 weeks! Arg. It is bad enough I struggle to button my jeans (button fly). But now I can't swim for another month? I'm looking at almost 2.5 months. I'm never gonna get my pre-COVID form back!
WEEELL ----- Today I got back in the pool after 4 months out of water!
Both shoulder and foot/ankle are really sore but, I do remember how to swim and it felt really nice to swim again!
1st Covid shot last fri. also!
First "normal" workout in 2-1/2 months. Oh, boy. I remember how to swim.....until I get tired. And then I lose form. DPS just kept getting worse. Added 4 seconds/50 to my interval (40X50, normally on :56, this time on 1:00). Going to try a Hackett set tomorrow. Probably start the UDK set next week, and jsut do some distance focused stuff this week.
