4. Worked me hard, felt great for all of 30 feet after it was over, then...couldn't walk. Spent the next 24 hours walking with the cane. Did Step up on a 6 inch stair, did wall sits, did something called air drops which is basically a calf stretch with your toes on the stairs letting your heels...
I am off crutches and not using the cane much either
PT
New exercises.....
Started stepping up and down, on just one step, step up, step back (slowly) right leg 10 times, left leg 10 times. The idea is to get the muscles to work again, which I can honestly say, they don't really want to in...

Went to Physical Therapy yesterday and today, have another appointment Friday. I have been given exercises to do.
However what has surprised me most is how weak my legs and hips have gotten since all this started. The arthritis in the hips then the knee problems eventually getting to a point...

I am pretty sure the right knee is recovering much faster than the left did. And just prior to surgery I did have an MRI done on the left, because it was having problems. And 5 days after the surgery I am discovering that as the right gets better the left is getting worse.

The knee kept me up all night, but today it hurts less than it has since the surgery, but still taking pain meds. There is now a different, intermittent, pain, I am assuming directly related to the lateral fracture of the tibia, since it is going from the knee to mid-shin.

This is an admin test blog. I'm trying to determine if the blogs still function. Were this an actual blog, there would have been something somewhat informative or amusing or both posted....
Judo is one of the most aggressive and competitive martial arts out there. Moves consist of spectacular throws and devastating pins. Also, not commonly known, is that Judo encompasses much of the art of Jiu Jitsu as well. Why is this? Well, they are both branches of the same tree...
This is my first blog post, not just on here, but anywhere online. I'm writing it mostly to sort out my own thoughts, and share those thoughts for anyone interested. It's probably going to be much longer than it needs to be. It may or may not be coherent. If it is, great, if not, I don't really...
Recovery from aurthroscopic surgery, at least for me, is slow, but I am listening to the Doctor, for a change. Had to get into my 50s before I started that, by the way.
Been able to start doing some exercises on the TotalGym and the exercise bike. And working with Taijiquan short forms.
I was...

I was recently asked to give some advice to a young, new martial artist. I thought awhile as to what I could give as training advice that would carry though out a person’s life time as a student of martial arts. "There is no definitive right and wrong in...
Taekwondo was first introduced to me as an afterschool activity when I was around 7.
It was taught to me as a path.
One I could walk with my peers, but still each to our own steps. Sometimes in unison, other times I may have zigzagged along the way while my brothers pressed straight ahead.
