in theory, still creating an exercise schedule

Friday, February 05, 2010

At 7:50 am Wednesday was able to keep an appointment with dermatologist that had been cancelled because of the birth of our grandson in early December. What I had thought was a minor, superficial procedure became a slightly "big deal", inner stitches, at least 6 outer ones on my front neck. Instructions to not stretch, not exercise for a week........... So, there goes zumba, weight lifting etc. Wake up nights and morning realizing that I've been in uncomfortable positions.... First dressing change tomorrow morning, stitches out next Wednesday and then back to normal.... I WILL attend contra dancing, weather permitting. It snowed and rained both off and on today...

So, watched a YouTube video by Norm Shealy about the benefits of bouncing for one minute each hour. Should be a good break from sitting at the computer :-) He suggests jumping, but that just the gentle bounce helps lymph system and everything also, and, it's good for all ages to do. So, I'm bouncing as tolerated....

    Yes, Carol, pretty much back to normal. Zumba Thursday morning at St. John's and again tonight at the YMCA. Curves both days. I feel that my neck 1.5 inch scar looks awful, but improving bit by bit each day.... Right, no equipment needed to bounce. Thank you for stopping in for the blog. Happy bouncing!

    Hi Babs,
What a great way to keep fit! Bouncing!!!!
I assume no machines are involved?
Just caught up with this so everything now should be back to normal?
Is it?
Cheers
Carol
