Last night I barely got any sleep.\u00a0 My hamstring was causing me a fair bit of distress, and even my knee was acting up a bit.\u00a0 This after taking 4 Advil (which I had hoped would ease the swelling in my knee).\u00a0 Needless to say I\u2019m exhausted today.\u00a0 That said, once I got my knee moving I was able to do most everything to target levels with the exception of leg raises (on stomach) which I only managed 20 of.<\/p>\n
I took it easy at work today, physically speaking.\u00a0 I stayed at my desk with my leg up as often as possible.\u00a0 When I was up, I didn\u2019t let hallway conversations keep me from getting back to my desk.\u00a0 I iced several times.\u00a0 It was Cinco de Mayo today and we celebrated by going down to the first floor of our building to Barrio.\u00a0 So did everyone else in St. Paul’s lowertown, they were on an hour wait.\u00a0 We looked in at the Bulldog but it was totally full too, so we asked if they\u2019d be nice enough to call up when a table was ready\u2026and we went back to work.\u00a0 An hour later we were filling up on tasty Mexican food (but regrettably no Tequila!).<\/p>\n
By the time evening came it was pretty clear that my hamstring is getting better.\u00a0 It\u2019s still terribly weak and feels like it may cramp up at any time, but now the Charlie horse is letting loose somewhat, and it\u2019s not constantly painful.\u00a0 Yea!<\/p>\n
Physical Therapy went pretty well: 42 seconds balancing; 20 Knee Bends; 20 Knee Bands; 30 back and side Leg Raises, 20 stomach Leg Raises (after a reset\u2026hamstring trying to cramp!); 5 minute Passive Extension; 20 Heel Slides and 1 minute of hamstring stretching.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
