Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a reply Getting CT Scan next week to see what can be done with the collapsing ankle joint. For now my boots, advil, and turmeric/ginger/rosemary cocktail seems to get me by. But the recommended limit is 3 shots a year, and the shots last about a month.

Of course that’s because I assumed I was almost recovered and ready to get back to my normal life. Since that time, I relocated and, rather than find a new gym, I thought I would get back into bicycle riding and doing other exercise at home. Those folks put me through a regimen of core work, upper body work & mobility work, that not only made me feel really good and got the blood pumping but also gave me something uplifting to do.
