Impatience
I've always been a bit impatient but right now, I'm getting antsy. The healing seems to be going well. I spoke to a physio on the phone last week and he seemed to think that I should be wearing my sling until my next doctor's appointment - which is in 6 bloody weeks! No chance. Last time, I only wore the sling the French gave me for about a week. This time it's the same. Wearing the damned thing makes my shoulder stiff and decreases my mobility. I think, as long as I don't jerk my arm around too much, it'll still heal ok.
It was back to work today for the first time - I have to avoid swinging my arm around too much as I walk but it seems ok. One thing that's slightly concerning me is my new collar bone is completely deformed - it sticks right up in the middle. I'm guessing it's going to be a bit weaker now, as well as a bit exposed. I'll have to be super careful when I mountain bike and snowboard from now on. A few of the female members of my immediate family (wife, mother, mother-in-law) will probably want me to stop but that's not going to happen. You've got to live your life and outdoor activities are a big part of mine. A broken bone is an inconvenience rather than a show-stopper.
I've rewritten my training plan until October and the marathon. It looks busy. I've started next years plan as well. I'm aiming to peak for the 2 half ironman efforts in June and September and I should be good for L'Etape.
Anyway, time to watch some box. Let's hope the replacement for Prison Break is decent.
