Well, I was afraid this would happen. My shoulder and my right hamstring have thrown in the towel. I talked to my orthopedist this morning to get the results of my MRI. I have arthritis, calcification and impingement in my right shoulder. This stem from a waterskiing accident 5 yrs. ago. I was trying to do a trick and my shoulders got jerked very hard by the ski rope. So for now, we're continuing conservative treatment with Mobic and P.T.
I am now the pansy of "Debbie's Dawgs" and can't push, lift or bend over without lifting my right leg so that the right gluteus/piriformis can heal. My Dr. wrote a note to excuse me from the workouts so I am walking on a treadmill without incline and gently swimming as my right shoulder will allow.
After seeing my test results and my "slow" metabolism, I am a bit disheartened but cannot give up.

Hi Hannah, I'm a "5am Dawg" and just read your post. Your body may be rebelling, but it's AWESOME that your mind is still IN THE GAME! Carter says to do what you can... to keep moving... Many people in your situation would choose to give up. I'm glad that you are under a doctor's care and that you have found exercises that work for you. Each of us have obstacles and need to create our own personal HealthQuest. Your story inspires me to take a look at mine and figure out ways to make mine the most it can be.
Blessings,
julie
Hannah, I'm one of your fellow "dawgs" and wanted you to know that it's so wonderful to see you there everyday doing what you can, and knowing that you're probably in pain. You are a wealth of information and I hope you will continue to come and inspire us all. By the way, your daughters are so cute!
