Am going for 'vesco supplimentation' shots (3) in the knee and having an MRI of the shoulder. Road rash pretty much healed but scar remains in three location. Played golf twice and shoulder hurt each time but hip seemed to be OK.
Back to the gym this week (Mon-Wed-Fri) and began a somewhat 'watered down' return. Monday I did a 20 minute cardio (elliptical) followed by a couple stations of resistance work. Wed I just did a 25 minute cardio period and Friday I completed a 30 minute elliptical followed by some cable chest and back work. I felt that the 30 minute cardio went pretty well (Max bpm = 143) and in the coming week, I think I'll try to complete a 30 minute cardio all three days and do as much resistance as I have juice for..... at least two body parts each time. Stay tuned........

Saw the 'orthopod' today and she did a thorough examination (x-rays, physical manipulation, etc) and injected my left knee and right shoulder. We still may need a MRI for the shoulder.... she said to call her in two weeks and advise her how the 'corticasteroid' was working for me and it I still experience pain and restricted range of motion, she'll order the MRI and see me again there after. Looks like more 'pain management' and possible surgery. Time will tell. Oh yes, she said no gym for a few days and then I may experiment once again. Maybe Friday.

OK .... Went back to the gym and did an 'evaluation' both cardio and resistance. Tried the eliptical and my left ankle and knee bothered me quite a bit. Didn't go very long. Next I tried to do my usual resistance stuff at the six stations and found that my shoulder strength was much reduced and my range of motion was also limited. This make my resistance work very limited. Seeing the 'orthopod's PA' today and will go from there. Tried to swing a 'golf club' yesterday and met with much pain and again, limited range of motion ..... NO BIRDIES!! actually, didn't complete the round but we'll give it some more time.
