I am a mess....need surgery this week....

Original post by rdubs

I am a crying mess....so I posted about 2 weeks ago that I sliced my thumb/hand open and get stitches at ER....well I went to a hand surgeon this morning and though I was expecting to hear its just bruised, he told me my tendon was clipped and I need it repaired THIS FRIDAY!

I CAN'T WORK OUT for 3 weeks and will be in a splint for 6 weeks....I know I have a few months before wedding but I'm on such a tight workout schedule and am hysterical that I need to stop.....


Need some love

At least the weather is getting really nice. This means you can take nice longgggg walks after dinner and on the weekends. If you supplement your normal routine with outdoor walks during the 3 weeks, I'm sure you'll be back on track without skipping a beat when you start your normal routine again. :)

Thank you guys . No cardio for three weeks t(he also said no pilates, I asked )kills me bc I just got up to 6 miles running and want to keep it up...I hate being inactive, working out is so much a part of my life! Think ill start walking to and from work to get some exercise.

I do realize though I have time and thank goodness we aren't getting married a lot sooner!
You guys help make me feel better...thank you.
