The comeback trail
Damn near 9 months. That’s how long it’s been since the injury. My personal health has fallen off as a result. Historically I’ve worked out for one reason. Basketball. I miss it. It really meant more to me than I realized. One of those things when it’s out of your life you didn’t realize all that it had provided. The good news is that the doc gave me clearance to resume athletic duties. I couldn’t believe it. I wasn’t projected to be cleared until Oct. It’s going to be interesting the first time back out there. It’s always been a thought in the back of my mind but this past week it has had me thinking more about it. Will the knee hold? Obviously the ACL repair is the biggest concern because another setback would see me damaged to the point that my days of playing will certainly be over. Not to mention the long term health issues. So I’m going to lose some weight and get my strength back completely before going back out there. I need to do my best to be in the best condition I can before resuming my court duties. Outside of that will I be able to regain my form and vision? I want to have fun with my friends and feel that competitive fire once more. I’m back in the gym daily hitting the bike and the weights. I’m not a big gym fan but I’m actually excited about being in there. My arms are a little sore today but it feels good. So the comeback is on!
