Glad to hear you're feeling better, Gabe. Quite an ordeal to say the least.

Somehow I doubt anything in that DVD will strain your abs. |

Today was a great day. I went to a Dr. apt and he is taking me off of some of the blood pressure medicine. Some of the side effects are kind of strange so I look forward to stopping popping at least one pill.
I also managed to go and do some errands. I was out and about most of the day and it felt really good. Hopefully, I didn't over do it. Tomorrow I get out walking.

Gabe,
So glad to hear you are on the mend.
But, buddy, the body weight stuff is going to be soooo easy since you lost all that weight.

Yesterday I walked. I made it once around the block and then later in the afternoon I walked up and down the street with my son.
Muscle wise I feel fine. The problem I have is that I can't use my abs and it kills my back. If anyone knows a trick to get the abs to fire please let me know.
I'm on pain medication as needed. I over did it a little yesterday and was feeling it this morning. I'm making progress.
Some one gave me the coolest gift. It was an online gift certificate to charity. You can redeem the gift certificate to donate to 1000's of charities. It is a great idea and one I hole heartedly support.

Damn, Gabe. At least you went to the ER. I'd be the guy who died at home because he was sure it'd pass in a day or two. Take care of yourself and get all the way better soon.

Bill,
I am that guy and that is the exact conversation I had with my wife. Luckily she was more stubborn than I was and won.
That's one of the way I know I am blessed.

That's how I know I got a good one. She takes the for better or worse and in sickness and health stuff seriously. She has actual demonstrable proof.
The Reds are coming to visit today. How cool is that?
Leigh Peele was also nice enough to give me some fitness and nutritional guidance. I'll start logging my work on that Monday. Trust me it's nothing heavy but at least I'll be doing something other than feeling sorry for myself. Since everything I've worked for since joining JP's is gone. I'm very thankful to Leigh. I have no doubt that she'll help me get through this and back on the path to my former self in no time.

It took me a few minutes to realize it wasn't the baseball team on a goodwill trip.

Yes, and it will be awesome when it eventually happens. Unfortunately our daughter is sick today so I called Gabe to postpone our visit.
Maybe he'll be healed up so much more by the time we get there, that I can give him the buddy-buddy style of gut punch when I see him.

Can't wait to see what Leigh has in store for you Gabe. As RL said to me last week, "muscle memory is a beautiful thing". You'll rebound pretty quick once you're all stitched back together.

I'm still pretty depressed about how fast my body went down hill. I lost it all in a span of three weeks. I took a good long shuffle/walk on Sat. I took Sunday off and visited with my brother and watched football. It was nice.
Today I have some blood pressure issues to contend with. My medication is freaking me out. Every time I stand up I get light headed. If it continues tomorrow I'll call the Dr. Other than that I plan a nice long walk, work with my son on his pine wood derby car, and start on Leigh's program.

Hey Gabe. Sorry you're still struggling with your recovery. I would imagine you've got a good sized incision right? Which direction did they cut? The only surgery I've had was a c-section (stubborn breech baby) and it knocked me on my ass for several weeks. After about 5-6 weeks though I was feeling about as close to normal as you can feel with a newborn around. I hope you see some acceleration in your recovery soon. Chin up buddy.
