STORY TIME!

I fell off a pull-up bar February 2023 and landed on my wrist. It was immediately painful, to the point that I was concerned that I had broken it. Fast forward, I get an MRI, a handful of x-rays, and no one can figure out what is wrong except that I might have a cyst. Finally I get referred to an orthopedic hand surgeon who does some more x-rays and has an AHA moment.

Don’t ask me what he diagnosed. I remember him saying something about the tri-something in my joint. He says we can try a cortisone shit and see if that helps, but then probably looking at surgery. Somewhere around August, the cortisone shot was done, I wasn’t in pain anymore, and got cleared to work out again.

Fast forward again to somewhere around February or March 2024. The pain is back with a vengeance. Go back to doctors, get temporary fixes, etc. They say there might be a cyst, there might be a bone fragment. Another MRI and some ultrasounds don’t help figure out. But in the meantime, I work on strengthening my wrist and pushing through painful ranges of motion.

Here we are, in December 2024. I still don’t have a happy ending for this story. I have a CT scheduled for tomorrow and yet another follow up with an ortho next week. Maybe one day I’ll have an answer. But today I’m happy because, despite it being painful, today I did a 70lb OHS and felt like I could probably do more.

As I said to my friend, “my heart says lift but my brain says probably not.” So I called it on a good lift and left more in the tank. Man, I can’t wait to be able to really lift again.

Today’s Workout - 7/16/18

Pre-wod was snatch balance 6x3. I swear we’ve never done snatch balance before, so I was completely confused as to what I was supposed to be doing with my body. Once I got the hang of it I went up from the 15lb bar to the 25lb bar. Nifty little youtube video for the curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuFaD1sAVGI

Wod was 4 rounds for time. I scaled it to: 200m running, 6 ring rows, 10 Overhead Squats @15lb. I finished in 12:29. The prescribed WOD had 400m of running, but since there was a time cap of 16 minutes I scaled down the running to make sure I could get all the other movements in. Afterwards, I did an 800m run to compensate / as a cool down.

WoD - 14.02.2018 The day of my prs, yay 😄 I overheadsquatted 40kg which is double the weight of last time, but my hips and shoulders are too tight to load more. It keeps getting better 😊 And somehow I cleaned 75 kg which is at least 20 or 25 kg more then last time 🙌🙌 For that I struggled with the doubleunders, I look like I ve been at a domina or something 😥
