Getting back to the swing of the things...

Its strange how we take small things for granted and I realise it now while recovering with the broken ulna in the left hand.

Being able to open the door with left hand, being able wash my face with both hands, type with both hands (though I cannot complain - I have now perfected the art of typing with one hand alone too)...finally driving too once again! It feels like a child beginning to learn to talk, walk...

The best part was being able to go back to my fitness regime! My Doctor who happens to go to the same gym as me realised that I will work on my hand without the need for physiotherapy - infact he commented that Physio is for those who are lazy (So I am Not) and gave a nod to go back to gym and take things slowly and steadily! I had slowly started stretching, bending and basically doing light exercises ever since one week after the cast removal. But this wednesday, 11th April I decided it was now time to start with my gym sessions. Being a fitness freak, I have always exercised and last 2-3 months were spent with no excercise at all so there was a mixed feeling of excitement and nervousness. I can go on the elliptical/ treadmill/ stepper for 2 hours but I usually do one hour followed by weights and stretches! However, as I went back to the my old exercise regime on wednesday, I felt as if the gym was dominating me - I had this slight inhibition in me - very very strange! But after finishing my one hour session, it felt good. Its been three days of going to gym regularly once again and feels good to be back to normal. Feels great to be finally getting back to the swing of things...
