…11 weeks…

Posted in Uncategorized on July 14, 2008 by walshie

So I haven’t blogged in a while so I needed to give my peeps a quick update.

I have been doing PT for over 2 weeks now, going 3 x’s a week.  It makes all the difference in the world, esp the deep tissue massage…ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.  It really helps the swelling, which seems ever-present.  

We had our big 3-day Member-Guest over the weekend, I was at work for 39 hours for those 3 days…ugh.  I scored all the matches w calligraphy, over 120 matches in all.  The board went from just over my head (I’m 6-2) to just about my thighs.  Needless to say I did a lot of squats and one-knee manuevers all weekend long.  My foot blew up!  It was sooo swollen and I didnt have much time to ice it down…miserable!  I was finally able to get the swelling under control later in the day but I literally thought my ankle was going to bust at the seam/scar.

All in all I’m hanging in there.  I walk w just a slight limp and have started cranking up the treadmill a little bit, so my wind is getting a little better.  I am slightly worried that the swelling never seems to go away, esp after work.  I have some scar tissue that is quite tender at times as well.  The progress/improvement has slowed to a crawl…the vets on the site warned me of this but dammit I didnt want to believe them!

…for all my ATR golf buds heres a little trivia:  What famous clubhouse is this?

 …and yes, I played there.
