Hi Deb! You were sweet to wonder about my moron "fall" -- I just wanted to show you where I confessed to my clumsiness. Geez! Here's the thread -- look for my post:
http://69.0.137.118/dc/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=4&topic_id=116265&mesg_id=116265&page=2
Today my tailbone is sore and my ankle (actually, the outside top of my right foot spreading across my outer ankle bone) is very swollen and bruised and sore. So I'm hobbling around feeling really frustrated and idiotic. How in the &$%! does an experienced person FALL OFF a step?? ;-( It caught me so by surprise that I wasn't even able to throw my hands out to break my fall. Good thing I've got lots of tailbone padding, or I might have broken it!
I think it's going to be Monday before I can try any cardio, and at that point if the swelling's gone I will attempt some elliptical trainer (no impact). We'll see. The schedule today calls for CTX UB Split, and I've waited til afternoon to do it so that I could take some ibuprofen and do a couple of ice-pack cycles. I'm going to see what I can do (or modify) for upper body without putting a lot of weight onto that leg. I believe most of the UB stuff will work out okay with a few tweaks. I think I could do one-armed rows leaning onto the high step, for example, instead of barbell rows for which I'd need to evenly distribute my weight. And push-ups on my knees (yeah, like not being able to do them on my toes is REALLY a sacrifice for me!). And shoulder stuff sitting down. Then I could add on some abs stuff if my tailbone is up to it. I'm on a great roll now workout-wise and I don't want to just sacrifice the day if I can avoid it. But I promise I'll be easy on myself!
