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.....

Tuesday March 7th

Weight: 141.8

**Thinking of my girlfriend who's under the knife as we speak getting her knee repaired.....

8:45am
1 Travel Mug of Decaf Coffee + 3 packets of Splenda + 2 tblsp FF Coffeemate

9:25am
Omelette: 6 raw egg whites + 1 tblsp. shredded cheese + some leftover Mexican takeout peppers/onions/mushrooms

Topped off coffee + 1 packet Splenda + 1 tblsp. FF Coffeemate
(didn't finish it tho)

9:40am
1 Trex + 2 Sesamax

**I hope the Trex kicks in soon.....another day of being exhausted....

 

[jenscats5]

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??

 

[Afgrl]

Just checking in to see how you're doing Jens......good luck w/everything.

Girl any time you want a massage you let me know!

Wish you did live closer!! Cuz I'd be waiting for you when you got home from work!!

I seriously should make an appt..........

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.

I my massage therapist ... I wish you were close, I'd buy you a session b/c, well your JC

 

[2dagym]

There are a couple discussions on here about that - I bought all the stuff for a NESTA cert more for craps & giggles than anything and almost did a cert for training at Bally's but couldnt' get the time off to do the Bally's trainer prep.

I think the ACE cert is the most common one required for training at a gym.

I might actually boot this question up to HH - who is now the queen of all PTs at World Gym locally here.

I'm gonna look for some of the posts about that question - but my own experience - I've worked w/ people w/ some different certs & lots of veterans of the BB competition community. The certs become less important at the level I'm looking at for my purposes. My biggest complaint is that they don't really address diet, but then there are huge liabilities for people to give out diet recommendations who are not qualified nutrition / diet experts. So, for me, hard to say.

Thanks, if you learn any more I'd be interested in knowing

Hey thanks!! Appreciate that....

It's amazing how bizarre the Electric Stim is!! They plaster two sticky-flat things onto my quad & turn it on.....I have to sit for about 12 mins with 12 secs on, 50 secs off of stim.....feels like a swarm of bees attacking me.....I'd rather do squats....

Well I've kinda been "partying" on my own.....

Surgery is scheduled for 4/4 at 7:30am (I have to BE there by 5:30am, sheesh!)

Still have a little swelling - it's about at a +1 (down from +3)

And so the Countdown to Surgery begins.......

Well, had my pre-surgical appt. today......Surgery again is 4/4 at 7:30am but I have to BE there by 5:30am...... *Rolling Eyes*

I am getting the allograft....Dr. said that they have found the allograft is 25% stronger than an autograft from the hammy or other area....and they prefer an allograft on someone my age anyway....I asked about risks, complications, disease, etc etc - they said they've never had a problem and the tissue from from donors from Utah.....

They will be giving me a "block" on my leg which will numb the leg for 10-12 hours and I will be "out" completely for the surgery which is supposed to take 1.5 hours....Then I'll get Oxycontin and either Percoset or Dilaudid for pain afterwards.....Whoooo!!!! I'll be able to drive after surgery once I pass their little "driving test" motion.....

An interesting side note is that they told me they've done 25 ACL surgeries so far this year alone on skiiers who tore their ACL when their skis did not release......Guess I'm #26......

As far as PT goes - I'm doing well there - my quad is getting stronger & I'm hoping to be able to test out of the stim soon & maybe no require a burst test anymore.....I HATE the burst test....ugh!

 

[jenscats5]

OK - one of my ski buddies decided to give me THIS link........

http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?section=nation_world&id=3979495

Don't help ok?? Please.......

 

[Gymgurl]

hey jen did you see that 20/20...make sure you know where everything is coming from that is a donor!!

 

[jenscats5]

hey jen did you see that 20/20...make sure you know where everything is coming from that is a donor!!

No - I didnt' see it on TV - someone had given me the link....

I just left a message for the Dr's secretary about getting my question answered....they had said the donor tissue comes from Utah - but I want to verify that.....

[2dagym]

Good morning!!

My, my what a great back you have.....

Thank you! I have to admit that was last spring and I've lightened up alittle since then - just enough to lessen some anxieties I was having about my workouts being so hard. It was getting to the point where I dreaded going to the gym. It was definately a bleak situation but all fixed now

Well good for you!!

wow it's getting really close. Nervous yet?

 

[nelmsjer]

Keep up your prehab...you're doing a great job. This hard work WILL pay off, and your dedication to your diet and fat loss will carryover into your subsequent rehab, making all of it much easier. You should be proud of yourself...give yourself a pat on the back.

Good Morning miss jenscats!!!!
