Don’t you just hate it when mom is right, even when you are an adult?
Just remember, you will be the one who is always right once Pristine grows up…. there is that to look forward to!!
Take it easy, and recover. When you lift, your blood and oxygen flows to the muscles that are doing the work and away from the part that is trying to heal, and that slows down the healing process. You need those extra blood vessels, especially white blood cells, and oxygen to aid in healing, so that is why you have to stop the exercising to speed up healing time. It is simply a physiologic response.
Hope it is much better soon, and I hope you are taking something for the pain, too.
Plus think of this as a respite from all the terrible heat you had and a chance to enjoy your gorgeous weather that you have… and you can take some more of you wonderful photographs to share with us.

Huh, who would have thought you couldn’t exercise after having dental work… and here my dad had a knee replaced and they told him he could do whatever he wanted as long as it didn’t hurt. He’s doing really well now too. Only a month out and walking with us yesterday to get a Christmas tree.
So sorry about that crazy taxi ride to the dentist…

Hey Grace, hang in there. You are doing the smart thing in letting yourself heal first. You don’t want to be held back even more in case you aggravate the situation. Do some damage control for now. I know you can do this!

First of all, Happy Belated Birthday! Hope you had a great celebration!

I also didn’t know about not lifting heavy things when you’ve had any type of non-related surgery. My Dad just had eye surgery and he’s not allowed to carry anything heavy. Strange.

I think it’s good to take it slow sometimes. You are looking amazing and have done so well in your fitness routine, I think of you for inspiration sometimes! I have been doing kickboxing/boot camp for the past 2 mths now and it is starting to pay off I think!
