Do you change the width of your grip on the lat pulldowns?

You do know that Catherine Deneuve seduces a young Susan Sarandon in The Hunger don't you?  |

The thing is, they say things like this to string you along. I don't know what it really means in terms of how long it's going to take and I don't think they do either.

True. But you do have a relative estimate. They don't call mile 12 in a marathon "the home stretch."

*nods* I remember climbing a mountain once (a very very short "mountain") where a friend infuriated me by continuously saying "we're almost there" when we were definitely not almost there. I didn't trust his feedback after that.
But if you don't have any actual experience with this particular person stringing you along in a dishonest way, don't let stupid things other people have done make you mistrust your PT. |

Weird weekend. I tweaked tendons in my knee. It was a malfunction of my prosthesis. So I had a dislocated ankle on one side and a bad knee and a prosthesis on the other. In short, it was very painful to walk. The sleeves to my prosthesis are worn out and so need to be replaced. I'll have them in a week.
Meanwhile, my foot closed, but there is still a tunnel. They had to reopen it to drain. I know ewww! Still, it is only half the size it was last week, so I'm definitely touching the TV again tonight.
I stayed off the knee from Friday or Saturday until today and it feels much better. I'm not pushing it.
Still:
One-Armed Floor Press: 3 x 10 x 35 lb kbell
Overhand Seated Lat Pulldown: 3 x 10 x 60 lb band
Seated Row: 3 x 10 x 60 lb band
Curls: 3 x 10 x 25 lb kbells

By the way, during this time, I got to Jabba the Hut Bull Frog proportions. Last time I weighed I had lost 21 lbs, but I saw myself in a full length mirror and I have a long way to go.
I have cut my intake and exercise what I am allowed to exercise, but I think more intake cutting is in order since I am not able to increase exercise much.
