If you want the backstory of today’s post, check out part 1 and part 2 and I should warn you, there are some gnarly pictures of a cycling injury where my leg got some lacerations. It could’ve been worse (doesn’t everybody say that?) but as I look back at those pics now, gosh it was gross! With that being said, Doctor Price and the nursing staff at Gulf Breeze Hospital did an incredible job with the cleaning of the wounds and the horizontal mattress stitches (2024’s medical term of the year– “horizontal mattress”). Just check out how the healing looks 10 days later.
I’ve increased my activities while still being cautious to let the tender area heal properly without me complicated things. In other words, I haven’t swam, biked, or run since the triathlon (oh, here’s a secret third post about the triathlon) but I’m sitting on ‘go’… as soon as one of these things happen: 1) a doctor clears me to exercise again, 2) I have to run from a zombie, or 3) I accidentally do a full workout of squats, lunges, jump rope, and calf raises… accidentally of course.
To sum up, the recovery is going well. I wasn’t sure I’d be out for 10 to 15 days but it looks like that’s the case. But soon I’ll be back into the routine of working out regularly, Tuesday morning intervals, and running (just for fun, not the zombie thing).
