Mini Update 2/9/06

[Cathe Friedrich]

Hi Everyone! I had my doc appt yesterday and all is healing VERY nicely. I am still teaching classes with more improvements every few workouts. All but "push off" type jumps on that almost injury free leg (ie: hopping on one leg). I can do them but Air Jordan I am not ;(

So the doc would like to see me in a week. But I feel confident we are very close here I'll post more news after next weeks visit. Time to go work on my jump shot (just kidding of course).

As always, your support is my healing food. Thank you!

Cathe, I am so happy to hear you are healing up nicely. One thing though, the body has a mind of its own; we can't rush things when we are injured. Patience is hard sometimes when we are wanting injuries to heal on our time table. I still am very sad about your injury. I think about you every day (I have a big blow-up picture of you in my workout room...so naturally I see you everyday. ;-) )

Are you taking any thing to help heal tissues etc? For example my doctors have me on glucosamine/chondroitin sulfate to build bone and high does of calcium ascorbate to healand rebuild tissue as I have TMJ with a styloid pressing on my jaw bone. I can identify with pain.
((((many many hugs to you)))))

Oh, I'm so glad that you are healing and not reinjuring yourself.

Congratulations, Cathe, and I hope all continues to go well. How do you handle your eating habits when you are injured? I get so upset and depressed when I can't work out that I always gain weight. I know I need more motivation.

That's great news, Cathe! You remain in my prayers for continued improvement and patience. I know this must be driving you crazy but hang in there---I think I see the light at the end of the tunnel
