Tom’s Log – June 18, 2010
Boy what a year…
Personally, I’ve been dealing with remnants of the old heavy lifting and bodybuilding days, which included a broken fibula recently. If you follow this blog regularly, you’ve probably seen my ankle rehab video series every Monday. Well, the surgery left me with a plate in my left ankle and recently I had arthroscopic surgery on the same ankle to relieve some arthritis pain. Now, I’m two weeks out of arthroscopic ankle “clean out” so to speak. My 30 years in the rehab business couldn’t hurt my situation now could it?
Not to add to my pity party, but I’ve also been having massive pain in my right shoulder thanks to that culprit arthritis. Surgery soon and a thing called a Copeland shoulder implant which acts like a cap over my humerus. They say you get pain-free results but it will be a longer recovery to get my strength back. We will see…
Oh well, I have the very best tool for rehabbing my shoulder – Total Gym. You know, years ago Chuck Norris had great results with Total Gym to rehab his shoulder after injury.
All I can say is what’s better than being in the fitness business where we can have a major impact on peoples lives, mine included? More Tom’s logs to come…
Yours in good (orthopedic) health,
Tommy C
