Jenscats Road to Recovery Log

[jenscats5]

I thought you were going to say you saw the light at the end of the tunnel and was looking at switching careers to being a greeter at Walmart. Afterall they have those carts you could sit in and ride around in

Actually I was thinking of applying there....

After surgery tho.....

Surgery Update:

Just heard from Axe's office: He does surgery every other Tuesday, so he had 3/21 or 4/4 available.....I chose 4/4 @ 7:30am...

The reason I chose the later date is because 1) The Bear Mountain Mogul Challenge is 4/1 - BIG Party which I want to go to and 2) I need to complete 10 PT sessions + a hop/strength test + a 2nd Motion Analysis test prior to surgery and having surgery 3/21 just seems to soon to be able to squeeze all that in. Number 2 is the main reason. I probably could squeeze it all in but it just seems unnecessary.....

Soooooooooo - any athletes here want to donate a tendon/ligament for a good cause??

You should! Your using your body in a totally different way and I'm sure you have pain in areas that you didn't before because you are relying on other muscle groups. Then after surgery after the inflammation subsides it can help to realign the scar tissue and help decrease the visibility of a scar in the area. Plus of course help with circulation through the area!
Not only that emotionally I'm sure you need a break!

And we even have a student clinic nearby (I'm sure your school does this) where the massages are only $25 and hour!! Yay!

Heck yeah! That's where I worked while I was in school!
Some students are better then others. Especially depending on where they are at in their program.
