My career has been a Clinical Exercise Physiologist in a hospital so along with my deep interest in fitness, I always wanted to present a good role model to my patients, therefore I have been exercising for around 25 years. That said, when I went for my revision last year, I was riding the stationary bike for 90 minutes at a time and lifting weights, three to four days a week. Well I haven't done a thing since everything fell apart after that surgery so I decided that I really needed to get back in some kind of shape to better handle these two surgeries facing me. Well knowing what I know about the body and conditioning/deconditioning, I should have lost a lot of my fitness in a few short months. Much to my surprise, after one week I am back up to 90 minutes on the bike and lifting, albiet light weights but happy with that. So there I am, hobbling with my walker, slumped over, into the gym at the hospital but I'm doing it.
Yes, I need to rest when I came home but other than helping my mom help me with my two year old, that is all I have been doing so it does feel good to be tired from exercise instead of drugs. (No, I no longer work. They "eliminated" me when I couldn't return after 12 weeks. I should be getting disability though. I am going through an attorney for that.)
