Another Update

After T’s appointments Wednesday doing PT and Laser therapy he was released to go back to training. He was told to ease back into it. We have routine appointments this week coming up but will back at it with his coach starting from the 9 to the 14th. I’m hoping we will also be able to do the 18th to the 21st as well but things keep coming up that may keep us from doing that one😕. He’s stretching a ton this week in prep to go back into training. Plus he’s been walking a bunch with me. My feet ache and knees ache but I know that I need to do this so I keep plunging along. I hate that I’ve gotten so out of shape. I love how in shape T is though. I hope he always does his best all of his life to stay in shape too. It’s what his dad and I greatly encourage him to do. 

Video Clips From T’s PT Monday

T was so far advanced when he came for his PT on Monday that the PT had to change up what he had planned to do with T that day. Here are some clips of strength exercises they are doing. What T does in sparring training is so much harder than this...LOL!  He is showing the PT that he can do more than the PT thinks he can do though. He’s ready to get on with this and back to training...LOL! 

Update on T’s Injury

So PT and laser therapy went swimmingly today. The PT advanced him a lot in his PT after T surprised him with how far he had come since they last met. The laser therapy is advancing his turn around time a lot faster and that’s exciting T so very much. I love when T astonishes doctors by healing quicker than they expected. I love that T is getting stronger and will be able to ease back into training hopefully by next week. He has really been pushing himself so that he can get back at it. He hates having to miss so much of his sparring training.  Although this down time has given me the time I need to focus more on our house and get things done that need doing.

T’s New Bed and Dressers are Bought!

This weekend we made a stop and picked up T’s new bed and dressers. They are all in this:
I went to my favorite store. Those who know me well know where I went. The fun will be putting it all together...LOL!  

Video from BBW 3rd Dan Final Test 2019

Enjoy the video. T doesn’t do his Poomsae full force because he’s under doctors orders not to because of his injury. He did such a great job considering his circumstances. Grand Master was so proud of him. Enjoy the video. 

3rd Dan Black Belt Final Test (10/26)

Yesterday T did his final test and although he couldn’t do everything because of his injury he did fantastic on what he could do. Here are a few pictures of him with Hyejin Amy Park (Master Amy), Victor Daewoo Kim (Master K), and Grand Master Jun Lee. He so loves his Masters so very much. Enjoy!

Master Amy!

Grand Master Jun Lee!

Healing Nicely/Challenges of Wearing Glasses

T had a chiropractor adjustment today along with another laser therapy session on his pulled muscle. He’s healing nicely and is feeling quite good. This is the dangerous stage so the chiropractor and his PT doc say. This is the crucial period where lots of reconstruction is going on in his muscle and it feels so good that you wanna get back to normal but that’s a no no from what we’ve been told. Keeping T at bay and not doing anything to reinjure his thigh muscle is hard when he’s so used to working out a ton all the time. 

Lots of changes happening with him though. He’s doing strength training with the PT for his thigh muscle, doing laser therapy, and wearing glasses. Getting used to wearing glasses is no easy task. We went back today for them to adjust them for him and he’s still complaining they hurt so we’ll go back again tomorrow for another adjustment on them. Plus he’s had some headaches. That’s to be expected. After a couple of weeks it will be old hat for him. 

Reading is Renewed for T

T got out one of his favorite books about how things work and started to read better than I’ve seen from him in a while. I wear glasses myself and I should have noticed the signs but didn’t realize there was a problem because he hadn’t spoke up about it until now. I think it finally reached a point that something had to be done is why he started telling us he can’t see. Now we move forward with things and hopefully at a more accelerated pace...LOL! 

New Glasses 🤓

Here’s a picture of T with one of his new pairs of glasses. He is so incredibly happy to be able to see clearly. There’s no telling how long he has had this problem. He tells us it’s been a long time now. We had a conversation with him about coming to us and telling us when something is really wrong like his pulled muscle and now his eyes. Being farsighted like he is could have a whole lot to do with why he hasn’t been able to do half of what he’s been asked to do from me with school and from his coach with TKD. It’s a whole new world for him now and he can sharper than either his dad or I...LOL!  Check him out. He looks even more like his dad now....LOL! And he chose Ralph Lauren glasses. 

Eye Exam Today

Well T has to have glasses. He’s farsighted. So we are getting him two pairs of glasses 🤓. One to train with TaeKwonDo in and wear when he’s riding his dirt bike and the other for everything else. He goes back in to be fitted for contacts to wear when he fights on Tuesday next week. Here’s the two frames he chose:
