(FRIDAY) What a POSITIVE-ly & PEACE-fully quiet day!

 Along with my successfully demonstrating a LARGE amount of progress in a HIGH # of beneficial exercises [( :) )], 

1) I was pleasantly surprised to welcome back my MAIN nurse [EARLY] from her vacation,

&

2) I felt absolutely ZERO irritation [AAALL day] from my relatively new knee cushion.


Plus, I am making significant progress in writing my ... 19th book.

(now up to ... page 94)

(... TUESDAY, Part II) (Since I own a motorized wheelchair:)

 ... 

"'Roads'?  Where we're going, we don't need ... roads."

...

"The ROYAL 'we' ... the EDITORIAL."

-- 'The Big Lebowski'

(TUESDAY) I've just GOTTA get ... 'BACK ... to the FUTURE'!

... 
In a desperate effort to create a better TOMORROW for MEEE, I try to produce my best [physically kinetic] output EVERY Tuesday (like today) & Friday.  
I.e. I demonstrated 
-- 10 RIGHT-armed bicep curls (For some reason, my RIGHT forearm had limited mobility.)
-- 20 RIGHT-armed hammer curls
-- 20 LEFT-armed hammer curls
-- 70 "HIP-ups" (I'm slowly working my way BACK up to the 120 repetitions I had PRE-injury.)
-- an assorted number of repetitions--with each arm--of various TRICEP-exercises
-- four + one laps WALKING alongside my parallel bars
-- 30 calf raises
-- 120 consecutive seconds of PLANKing
-- painFREE biking




P.S. Realistically [?!], I [ONLY] need a bunch of plutonium ... as well as a MIND-fueled DeLorean ... that can crank it up to 88 mph.  I am fairly CERTAIN I stiiill have the brain POWER to produce 1.21 JIGOwatts!

P.P.S. I watched both classic films--'Back to the Future' & 'Back to the Future Part II'.

(FRIDAY) The show MUST go on!

'Twas a legitimately CALM & COMFORTING day ... with a few very EEEENTERESTING details:

-- I continued writing my ... 19th book.
(My editor has only published 12 ... thus far.)

-- My publicist visited to film my workout--a few scenes for my documentary.
   ... I demonstrated OUTSTANDING progress ... in regards to my injured/bruised RIGHT/GOOD arm.  I showed bicep curls, hammer curls, "HIP-ups", walking, calf-raises & PLANKS ... along with ALL of my transitions between my assorted positions.

-- I steadied my nerves between numerous internet- & audible-snafus.

(WEDNESDAY) UNabashed SELF-promotion/-advertisement:

 I looked at my book sales this morning & felt a lil' melancholy.  

As I haven't sold a single book in a lil' while, I though I'd reach out--figuratively/metaphorically.

(TUESDAY) Indication point[S] to a VERY imminent return to FULL strength:

My main nurse's & my trainer's GUESStimations regarding my therapeutic equipment (knee cushion, ankle braceS) have proven comfortably accurate.  Noticing the aftereffects is less apparent to me, but all four of my CareGivers as well as my trainer have openly complimented me on my adjustmentS.


--> Not only have I dramatically INcreased the comfort I have/feel during my WALKING, but I have practically eliminated any DIScomfort I haD in my RIGHT elbow & upper forearm.

... During my biweekly 90 minute workout, I demonstrated 

-- 20 LEFT armed rotary curls--WITH a 10 pound dumbbell

-- 10 RIGHT armed bicep curls--with a 10 pound dumbbell AAAND then immediately followed by 10 RIGHT armed bicep curls with a 15 pound dumbbell

-- 60 "HIPups" (a 20% improvement from last week's 50)

-- Two planks--the first one of ~15 seconds before I slipped & the second of 75 seconds

-- ~18 minute bike ride




P.S. I really do appreciate when & how my main nurse [of two] acts as both my & my mom's #2 to organize AAALL my employees' work schedules as well as MYYY personal therapeutic goings-on.

(FRIDAY) SSSLOOOOOWLY but surely

 ... 

In my refreshingly productive workout today, I--very hesitantly & cautiously--demonstrated ... 


my FULL/MAXIMUM 20 [LEFT armed] hammer curls w/ a 10 pound dumbbell,

[only a THIRD of my usual output of] RIGHT armed bicep curls (--> 10 repetitions w/ a 15 pound dumbbell),

another 10 RIGHT armed bicep curls w/ a 10 pound dumbbell,

my FULL/MAXIMUM 20 [RIGHT armed] hammer curls w/ a 10 pound dumbbell,

posed for a quick advertising video for my trainer as he taped me doing my 20-10-10 hamstring curls on my big plastic ball,

WALKED my standard four [forward & backward & one sideways] laps along my parallel bars,

just [UNsuccessfuly] TRIIIED how my planking position felt on my recently injured RIGHT elbow,

determinedly pedaled my way for an ~17 minute BIKE ride.





P.S. "Stop calling me 'Shirley'."

-- 'Airplane'




P.P.S. I just heard LOUD thunder & saw flashES of BRIGHT lightning.  So, WHEEEW!  Since it was NOT cloudy like this earlIER, I still got to go BIKING.
