Quig's Primal Journey

Well new times for me, still weighing in the same but getting thinner and faster and stronger. I thought the day would never come to be able to do unassisted pull ups. A couple weeks ago I gave it a shot and was able to my amazement pull off 2.5 of them. All the while before knowing I wasn't going to be able to..LOL
Well this morning i gave it another shot and was able to knock out 10! Things are getting better!.
Im going to have to work a little harder to get this last 20-30lbs off but I'm working though it.
The last time I did pull ups was in the early 80s in the military.

 

Upped my work out to the following:
Monday, Wednesday, Saturday
75 push ups
100 sec front planks on elbows and toes, 100 sec right side and 100 sec left side planks elbow/heal.
60 of 130 lbs Lat Pulls, 60 of 130lb tri pulls, 60 of 103lbs Chest Fly.
10 Pull ups.

Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday
2 miles on treadmill or in country depending on weather.
Dropped 3lbs this last 7 days.

 

something has triggered in my body and i am dropping weight at a good clip again, 2lbs down from last post.

 

Well been traveling for a few weeks between Sturgis and southern Cali I caught a bug that I fought for 3 days of some of the worse pain I have ever felt. Ranked right up there with all of my broken bones. And I have broke my back and neck!
Any way I couldn't make it past day 3 with the pain and so to the ER I went. Spent 5 hrs on a table getting poked and prodded. Gave a sheet ton of Blood for tests. But While laying there for a couple hrs it let up and in a few more hours the pain went away.
Docs want me back on the 19. Going to get some imagery.
The reason I'm explaining it to you is the test results that came back.
For the first time since in my 20 's everything came back in normal range including my vitals.
My doc was highly impressed with my weight loss and said I looked really healthy. Like he had never seen in me.
4 more days and all of my muscles in my body are starting to return to normal. They were cramped up severely for days. I honestly was laying in bed one night thinking I might get a broken bone if this get any worse. Never had muscles tighten up so violently.
I'm afraid we will never know what caused it.
But am almost back to normal as of today day 8. Starting my workout again tomorrow.

 

So an update:
Doc was worried about my Aorta having a aneurysm so I did the imagery this morning on all organs and Aorta.
Turns out my Gall Bladder has some of the biggest stones the radiologist has ever seen, sounds like gall bladder removal is coming at me.
Funny thing I waited 16 year to draw this elk tag, the last and only time I drew it 16 years ago and I had a major accident the night before and was in the hospital a week and didn't get to hunt it. Ill be damned lighting has struck me.
My day seems shitty right now.

 

Doesn't Oregon have Proxy Hunting Statute, for such occasions? I know we do, in Alaska...

 

I'm looking at either hunting and postponing the surgery. Or I called ODFW and they said if I fill out an application that I might be able to push my tag out to next year. Or get my points back.
Oregon has the proxy hunter for blind people.

 

Postpone the surgery if you are not in a lot of pain...... IMO
The elk will not wait till next year.

 

Yea I want to but the pain seems to be growing now. I'm not sure what it will be like by Oct 29th when Elk season opens.
I would rather hunt it when feeling 100% this is a rugged unit very deep canyons.
I will be hunting by myself for the most part.

 

Your health is number one!!!!

 

Well the day has come.
I was in the surgeon's office this after noon and one look at my imagery and he told me I'm going in the morning for gall bladder removal be at the hospital at 6am.
Hopefully its the laparoscopic surgery, but he said if its too large to come out the hole or the tissue is too soft or a stone is lodged in my duct to my intestine then I get the big surgery.
I hope i recover quick going to miss my work outs.

Speaking of my workouts
I have worked up to 100 push ups 3 days a week
100 count planks
and 5 reps of 20 on the bow flex.
Im sure this will slip now with reovery .
will update guess i get to be home for a few days. SM will see more of me now..LOL
hell of a way to get time off... hahaha

 

And I will pray for a speedy recovery!!!!

The wife had her gall bladder removed due to a tumor and to this day she struggles with greasy food.... goes through ya like a slip and slide.

 

I'm home. Drugged up so I apologize if my post reads funny, Well more than normal.
They took my gall bladder laparoscopically doc said it was in really bad shape. Doc said he doesn't know how I put up with it so long.
He also found a hernia and repaired it the entrance they used for it is under my belly button. That is really really sore. And I now have a smiley face belly button. Lol
He said my gall bladder is full with 3 large stones. With no room left in it.
Sounds like 2weeks before I get to go back to work.
Me,the monkey. Tv and water n pills I guess.

 

Glad you made it this far. My ex (a natural whiner) carries on about her recovery still, and that was 10 years ago. Loves to relate how much discomfort she bravely endured. Knowing her, it wasn't much more than a hangnail after a couple weeks. You should be good to go soon, and I hope that's true.
