I can concentrate on getting healthy again! Ive had a lot of problems (female kind) this past year so my dr decided that Im to have a partial hysterectomy on May 9th. Im not overly upset about this decision as I am done having kids, its just the finality of it that I have yet to come to terms with, Im about 80% there.
This also means that I am going to have to miss a full month or 6 weeks of TKD :( I am NOT happy about that at all! I do plan on coming to class a few times just to watch so I dont forget anything. As soon as I am allowed the dr said I can work with upper body free weights and walk on my treadmill..I was very adament about not missing too much time working out as my body will start to "forget" and my muscles will get mushy again. Im not going to let that happen. Ive seen so much improvement the past couple of months...not in ALL the right places but there has been an improvement in my body structure.
Im not used to sitting idle for too long and already I have plans made for May LOL Just little things to keep me busy like having a party, attending a couple of meetings, a freinds college graduation...stuff like that. I might be posting on here like crazy if I find I have too much time on my hands!! Ohh The HORROR!!!!
I've had to be sidelined before bacuse of injuries, one of the best things that I found was to still go to class and observe, stretch just be involved (your instructors shouldn't have a problem with this).
I'm firmly convinced that it helped speed my recovery.
I hope you have a successful surgery and speedy recovery. When I was out with a dislocated knee for 10 weeks, I went to class and that helped me keep the forms in my head. At least you can go and watch which will help you!
Thank you JSB2008, celtictiger and kixstart! It means a lot that you took the time out to wish me well.
Kixstart I have my yellow belt instructional DVD that I can watch during my recovery so I will at least know the basic forms to do, then when I come back I can work on my technique.
JSB...ice baths...No friggin way...LOL give me a hot tub any day!
Good luck with the surgery. Keep blogging and like you said, theres no reason you cant watch classes, just so the movement stay in your head. You could also borrow a copy of the encyclopedia and read up on techniques too, while you have the downtime? Keep blogging :-)
I hope that your recovery is quick so you can back to TKD. It is unfortunate when you love doing something and you arn't able to. Just don't rush back too soon and set back your recovery.
P.S arn't ice baths meant to be good for you???!!!
