Back at it..

Yes, wife is in quarantine.

The interesting thing is that her travel companions that she shared a room with for multiple days did NOT get it; repeated negative tests. But she did get strep throat AT THE SAME TIME…(yes, verified by testing) and responded well to antibody treatment. So I wonder if strep set her up for a breakthrough infection.

Still, I am symptom free (and not exposed to my wife as we are isolating; she got sick when I was away) and so can make my physical therapy appointment; I might mask up and go to my outdoor ball game (sit well away from others; wear a mask when near people). This is in accordance with the County Health Person’s recommendations who did contact tracing.

Now I tried to get back into working out; no aerobic work (cycling Thursday-Tuesday) so: rehab, abs:
Pull ups: sets of 5, 10, and singles to get 50 reps

push ups: better ROM; 3 sets of 20

dead lifts: 10 x 134, 10 x 184, 10 x 229. Wonder about my back position; I have a back that doesn’t like to bend inward.

I have to try this with my shirt tucked; it appears that I have some “round” in my back while lifting but that my lower back position does not change.

Pain: tingles persist just a bit; some tenderness in the shoulder though the greater ROM of pushups went ok.
