And with relief
Finally back to the gym. Had the ok from the physical therapist that I could go back to the gym after nearly a month off. It was pretty depressing to see how weak I am, and what I long way I have to go just to get back to where I was (at the start of August, I had a 400lb deadlift). I am glad that the shoulder is healing well, and I have a lot more range of motion (actually being able to raise my arm above my head for the first time in about 8 months). Only two more scheduled trips to physical therapy and then hopefully I won’t have to deal with doctors for awhile.
I ended up losing 20 lbs over the summer, most likely a chunk of that being muscle. Now I have to deal with purchasing some new clothes, as my current wardrobe seems to be drowning me. Looking silly is about the only thing that will finally get me to go clothes shopping.
