I continue to prove exercise is a good way to help reduce pain. got back from our recent trip relatively unfit and daily step count ~ 4/5000 per day. !0 days before yesterdy were 10000 steps. yesterday sitting all day at a conference. When Igot home walking quite painful but I kept walking and it got better. But only got to 8600 steps.

Keep up the good work .
I had a recovery week off after a series of 20k+ weeks and have also been fairly quiet this week ; save for wednesday
with a flat out 5k @ 9.17m/km followed by a busy day in the workshop.
Watch gave me 20k steps and 15k , so I slept well.
Next week will try for another 4 week cycle of stress and distance with steadily increasing jogging segments.
Of course time and the looming grim reaper will eventually beat me , I am not kidding myself…..but I will go down swingin'….

Had a meeting at work with the store manager and the rehab coord on Wednesday. Went as expected. Just planning for the expected clearance to light duties in 2 weeks and confirming all the details thus far for the rehab coord.
Sling came off the arm yesterday, according to the plan given by the fracture clinic. There's been more pain without the sling.

The zone injury care partner called earlier. She asked if it was possible to move the next GP visit forward and see if I could get back to work earlier, before the fracture clinic said I should.

Has taken 2 1/2 weeks to get the workers comp payments through. Had to prod them this week and the reimbursement for the last GP visit and 2 1/2 weeks wages finally got processed last night.
