So you know how you guys do vibes, thoughts, and prayers...

I need some.

I dislocated my shoulder tonight. 

In 2008 I dislocated my right shoulder when I was standing on skiis and lost my balance, fell funny and my shoulder just popped out. 

Tonight I dislocated my left shoulder when I was in downward dog, about to go into hover/snake. Again, a very odd way to dislocate. 

It has apparently become clear that my osteoarthritis might be further along that I had thought as the hospital brought it up before I did. 

So, thoughts and stuff. I have done this before and right now I am in a very deep, dark pit of despair. It took me a year to rehab last time. A YEAR. It was painful and challenging and I hated it. I feel like I don't have it in me again. I am so frustrated because I JUST lost 25lbs these last few months and now I won't be able to exercise. I was JUST getting okay with the idea that I might not be able to run anymore, or lift heavy weights. But now? Now I can't do ANYTHING other than maybe walking for at least 6 weeks. And when we go to St. Lucia this summer, I can't swim because I won't be able to lift my arm that high. I have pretty much been crying since I woke up from the reduction (I was loopy for about 15 minutes afterwards, then when that wore off reality hit me hard).  I feel like my weigh loss goals are all done, my training goals are gone for sure...it's all such a mess. And that doesn't even start to address how much this is going to impact my work. 

K, end rant. I swear I won't be in this pit for long.

  • Awww :( Maybe rehab will go quicker this time! We can hope :)
  • Ow! I'll keep you in my thoughts for a nice easy rehab!

    Could you get a weight belt to wear while walking? It's not anything like your original plan I know, but it might help you feel like the walking is doing more.

    *hugs*
  • :( I'm sorry honey.  You can keep walking!  Don't give up. It's a setback, definitely. But you'll be back in the swing of it before you know it.

    At least now you can just tan and enjoy the sunshine on your vacation. :) Hugs to you.

  • I am so sorry, that is really miserable :( I assume you will be working with a physical therapist? Maybe you can tell him or her your concerns and they can recommend some low impact but effective exercise. I will be sending you good thoughts to heal super duper fast!

    Im sorry numbers :( I know once you have some time to think and get a clear head, you will get some perspective and I KNOW you will find a solution that will help you reach your goals and still keep your body safe. Im sorry this happened :(
  • Numbers, I'm so sorry you hurt yourself. Rest for a few days and then take a walk. You can still be active. :)
  • Thats how i felt when I dislocated my knee. Rehab is no fun but I know you will kick butt and continue to loose weight! Your speedy recovery is in my thoughts.

  • I will keep you in my prayers Numbers.

    First off, allow yourself to be bummed. You are always really hard on yourself, and you sometimes don't let yourself be anything but strong and resilient. Let yourself be upset for a little while.
    Then, realize that you are going to be okay. It will be a lot of work, but that has never stopped you before. Your doctor can help you find some alternative ways to exercise. This definitely means a change in your routine, but it doesn't mean you can't find a new way to reach your goals.

    I have faith in you.
