Day 18
The last two days have been much the same, as far as the shoulder goes. Yesterday, I spent much of the day not wearing the sling. I ran the warmups for the intermediate class, doing a number of kicking drills, then working on wheel kicks and spinning wheel kicks. I was pleased that I could still demonstrate them, even with an arm in the sling. The remainder of class was primarily kicking drills and sparring with a little poomsae mixed in. The final 10 minutes of class involved single and double stick Kali drills. I took part in the single stick drills, but obviously not in the double stick ones. I also rode the exercise bike and did my calisthenics.
Today, I was much lazier. I spent much more of the day wearing my sling, though I left it off during the commute to and from work. When it is 15 degrees outside like it was today, it is good to zip up the coat. My legs were tired, so I took a pass on the exercise bike. Not sure if it was due to overdoing it yesterday, or underdoing it today, but my body is aching enough that I took a couple of Tylenol this evening.
But still, it is going well.
