I have tried to keep up with this and Oldtimer's thread over the last few weeks as I find them inspiring. I was given the okay by doctors to begin light exercise again. That was Friday and I waited until today to actually start.
Five pound laterals for 5 sets of 10.
Five pound bent over laterals for 5 sets of 10.
20 pound machine shoulder press for 5 sets of 10.
5 sets of ten barbell curls with 20 pounds.
5 sets of ten tricep pushdowns with 20 pounds.
This took about 45 minutes to complete and I didn't fall over once even though I had our dog's large bed nearby in case I became dizzy and could control myself enough to fall on it.
The pooch left the garage as I don't think he likes it much when I fall over.
I do not desire pity as I know far worse off folks from the hospitals. I just want to join in with Nat and OT in their threads from time to time. I will have to strengthen my good leg as I need it to stabilize me. I will try single leg extensions and leg curls as I have a machine for that. Ugh.
Be well gentlemen and know that I am honest in that reading your journals is fun and motivational!
And yes, I am quite crabby lately where "politics" are concerned but I shall endeavor to persevere and not do that here as I respect both Nat and OT.
