Went to the Infectious Disease Specialist today. Hes the same one who saw me in the hospital. Im healing but he said its going to be a long road back. He reassured me that I would get back to normal activity but it may not be 100%. Enough so no one would notice but maybe not the same as I was before the infection.
Anyhow Im back to being down and not using it much at all. He also restricted me to 5# max weight for at least the next two weeks. I asked him about trying a few push-ups now and then and he flippin laughed at me and summed it up in one word, NO.
He said he doesnt think there is any serious long lasting damage left over but it is going to take time for my body to get rid of the fluid still in the arm. He said I need to be careful for about the next 6 months or so because I was still susceptible to be re-infected at this point.:11:
So it was good news and not so good news but no bad news. BUT IM STILL GOING STIRR CRAZY. I can get out and do a few things but after 6 or 7 hours Im down for the count.
I know I live in Idaho but Im tired of being a couch potato. Im over done and need to be removed from the oven.:mooner:
