Howdy Steve! Get back on the wagon. Don't worry about numbers, just workout safely, and you'll get there!

Hey Steve! Sorry to hear your father is doing well. I've been through that and its not easy. Get yourself some stress relief CF style!

Nice to see your still thinking of us! :)

Nancy and Helen,

Thanks for the kind words and the figurative CF "kick in the rump." I cannot wait to start working out again. Took a four mile fast walk with my brother-in-law down in Belmont Shore (Long Beach, CA) yesterday - - left knee felt great, though the knee cap is still swollen and tender and will be for several weeks yet.

Take care.....I'll be back to visiting your logs also when I get a bit of time in the next week or two.

Welcome back! You'll be amazed at how quickly you regain lost ability.

Refresh my memory, why does you wrist hurt? Have you been to a sports medicine guy to get it looked at (not a surgeon, but a guy that'll want to work on the quality of soft tissue around the wrist to regain full ROM)?

Justin,

Thanks, Man! I fell at work at the beginning of Oct. Hit the tile floor so fast - didn't have time to break my fall. My R/wristvsorta flailed out and slammed the ground-- no broken bones , but definitely bruised one or more.
Physical therapy may be necessary if things don't start improving soon...

If you hurt it back in October and it isn't better yet, you are more than long overdue for some physical therapy.
