Finally ! やっと！

I finally had my big cast taken off, I guess that all the stuff that I have been doing for the rehab
has been paying off. I have been taking lot's of Calcium and vitamins to help speed up the process of healing. And also I am using a supersonic device on my arm to exercise the actual bone, this device I also used when I had my leg broken. And it seems to speed up the process of healing up to 30% faster!!! I don't know about the 30% but I do know that it does make you feel like you are really doing something everyday. Apart from that I have been doing these 1 hour sessions of a special air tank everyday, it is a Co2 tank that is supposed to help speed up recovery of just about any kind of injury. Honestly after doing it just about everyday for a month, I am not sure that it gives me more than just a nice nap during the day...OK that was uncalled for, I need to believe the results from all the scientific research that has been put into machines like this. So I will keep doing it! Apart from that life is a lot easier with just a small cast on my forearm, I rode my bike for the first time in a month, and it was but great and terrible at the same time. It was cold and ruff so I didn't feel good on the two wheeler, but I soon got the hang of it and today it was just a smooth ride in the nice winter sun.
Falling asleep yesterday and waking up was great! That big thing I had stuck on my arm was really giving me trouble sleeping, but now that it is off I am sleeping like a baby. A full 8 or 9 nine hours of sleep and I almost felt like a new man. I knew that this was going to happen, and I knew that once I was over the hump of this injury that I would be making great progress, and although I have been there and done this so many times before, it still makes amazes me how great it feel to be back on my own feet. I woke up feeling so good that I had to work out, so I took my running shoes to the gym and ran for 35 min. And now I just feel great, although sparring is still far off I know that it will not be long before I am raging wars against Peter Graham and all the other guys on my team.

腕のギブスはこの前の水曜日に取れました！やっとって感じでしたけど早くないと思うし、しかしあのでっかいギブスはもうたくさんでした。何回も何回も骨折の経験があるので治るまでの道もよく理解しているので今回は精神的にすごく楽だったけど、やはりギブスがはめられる。。。気持ちはどこかで複雑になる。複雑になるからこぞこの前の水曜日はどれだけ気持ちよかったかというと、最高に気持ちよかったです。がまんできずに木曜日からもうバイクに乗っている！それはそれでまた気持ちいいのか気持ち悪いのかというよりも、最初は左腕には力が入らないから乗っている自分はバカに感じた、けど今日は天気も良かったしブレーキは全然問題なかったし。やっぱり、あのさんそキャプセルと超音波のマシーンを使ってよかったな～と思いました。今日朝起きたら体は本当に気持ちや勝ったので何とかしなきゃって感じだったので、ランニング靴をジムにもってて３５分をランニングしました。ま～今日からって言えば、まだまだスパーリングは出来るまで時間はかかるかも知れないけど。走りながらピーター　グラハムとチームの他のメンバーのはぎしい打ち合いは頭の泣けでは見えました。。。楽しみですね！
