A few weeks ago, while out for one of my morning power walks, I slipped on wet grass and fell hard. I was trying to avoid a women and her dog, and didn’t realize that I would have no traction on the curb. I did not need help getting home, but it would have been better if I did. I limped for days after the fall, and my hands were in extreme amounts of pain, but I still managed to work.<\/p>\n
Now, nearly three weeks later, I still have dull hand pain from that fall. Each day it feels a little better and I expect it to be completely faded the next day, instead the pain just becomes a fraction of one point less. The doctor I see to help with my scoliosis and shoulder\/neck pain informed me that I’m experiencing a minor whiplash.<\/p>\n
Since the fall I’ve slacked on my exercising. Some stretches, yoga here and there, a little tai chi, but no cardio. Monday night I started cardio exercise again, with some light DDR (Dance Dance Revolution, a video game that uses a dance mat). I felt great that night, but the next day my body was in all sorts of pain, especially the hips and thighs. I still have some of that stamina I’ve been building, but my muscles have weakened and are now out of shape.<\/p>\n
Building myself back up, rebuilding what I lost over the few weeks, will not be hard, but there will be pain and aches. The hard part is not over-exercising, which I always seem to do. I’m also hoping that as I rebuild what was lost, my hands will continue to improve. The better my hands feel, the more often I can update my journal. I have some fun hardware projects and software projects to talk about, plus updates to my Aerogarden projects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
