Preserving The Streak


Greetings! I’ve had my wisdom teeth removed and oral surgery as an adult. That’s more than I wanted, and quite enough for me. Nonetheless, today I’m scheduled for out-patient hernia surgery. The last couple of weeks haven’t been that bad. I haven’t really been in pain, so I completed some light resistance workouts, a number of 3-mile runs, but mostly I kept to low impact cardio. Of course, I didn’t change my dietary habits, so I gained weight like it was magic.

The medical professionals keep making a lot to do about post-op pain. I must say I’ve be overwhelmed at how hard they have pushed the high-power pain medication and I haven’t even had the procedure. I feel certain I can get through this without opioids. That’s a purely personal position. I understand the role they play in recovery.

For me, the greater issue will be finding a meaningful way to exercise for thirty minutes tomorrow and the immediate days following without having a negative impact on the corrective work of the surgery. At present, The Streak is 21 years and 53 days old. Preserving The Streak is important to me. I will appreciate it if you will send your positive thoughts in my direction.

Find A Way. Exercise.
