Easing Back Into Training

Easing back into training has been going great. T had soreness for a couple of days because he hasn’t worked out like he’s used to doing for four weeks while having PT. So glad he’s on the mend and doing good. Now to get back into the grove of training and getting back to where he was before the injury happened. He knows it’s going to be a lot of hard work. He also knows from this week of being back and easing into training that it’s going to suck until he’s where he needs to be. He knows it will be short term as long as he puts in the hard work though. 

T’s Bedroom Set

T chose this bedroom set. The bed is a full size and he got two of the dressers. We got it all from IKEA. We love that place. We went looking at mattresses before T and I had to leave for Charlotte and the mattress he wants cost more thaN the entire bedroom set😳. So now I’m hoping to take him back to IKEA this evening in hopes that I can talk him into a memory foam mattress😁. 

Day 2 in Charlotte

T is easing back into training with his team and coach. He’s had a busy two days. Tonight he is feeling a little bit of muscle soreness. I told him that’s what happens when you have to take time off for an injury. Now he’s gotta get back to where he was before his injury. It’s all a process. He’ll get there. He has an early morning tomorrow and a busy day of training with his teammates so Happy Veteran’s Day early to all of our blog followers. So thankful for all of our Veterans. Have a blessed night and holiday! 

T’s New Bedding

T’s new bedding to go with his new bedroom furniture. Can’t wait to get this bedroom together and ready for T to enjoy. He picked blue and grey for his walls. Scot’s from Kentucky and his entire family are huge UK fans. T has a torn house because momma is a UNC fan. Of course UNC blue does not look good on a wall...LOL! I can’t remember the last time I kept up with college sports though. Life is so busy. It’s perfectly fine that T likes UK. This set sure looks real nice!  

My Appointments

Blood tests from my physical yesterday came back all normal. Woohoo🙌!!!  Eye exam today showed what I expected and that is that I need an updated prescription. It’s been a few years since I had a new prescription and I was noticing a change. Now to get used to the new prescription. 

A Work in Progress

Well, the window is out after a ton of prying and stuff. Scot said to me, with a smile on his face, if you ever ask me to seal a window again you may be having to get bail money...LOL! His expression and smile had me rolling on the floor laughing. 

Backstory: I had him seal T’s bedroom window shut years ago when T was a toddler because we were getting overwrought with lady bugs in T’s bedroom. 

Now that we are finally redoing his room and replacing said window it was a bear to get out.  

I just smiled back at my awesome husband and said, “I love you Honey and appreciate all you do for us😁🥰.”

Pics from earlier today

Scot had a commercial project this afternoon at a repeat client near the neighborhood I grew up in as a kid. The business is actually in the old Piggly Wiggly where my mom did most, if not all, of her shopping when I was a young child. Even though there’s a new store in it now I have tons of memories from when I was a child. What was cool was that the new store had a lot of old pictures and cans from the old Piggly Wiggly. I got some pictures of T and I. I was showing T around and telling him what shops were what when I was growing up. It was a fun afternoon looking around while Scot did the commercial project.

This last one is my favorite picture of the day🥰. 

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.
