Blood Work yesterday.
This morning
PVC
Squats on toes - BW x 10 x 3
Dumbbell Bench Press - 40# x 10 - this was a test to see how the the ribs did - only a small bite at the bottom - coming along pretty quick
Dumbbell Curls - 25# x 10 L&R
ISG - 1&3 x 30 - Climbing Wall tonight I'm going to try to climb and see how the ribs do
Calf Raises - BW 20 - lots of stretching
Dex Balls and levering - both light
Finished up the double sledge rack - installed the foam pads etc - seems to be fine
First actual workout - I know it isn't much but its progress

Ribs continue to bother me but not as badly.  Face pain is still under control with the changed medication dosing.  Not sure yet on the side effects - head may be a little clearer but it;s hard to tell.
Did manage a little more of a workout this morning - nothing noteworthy but a little better.

Continued improvement on the ribs.  Will probably take a week or more to see how the change in medication frequency is going to do.  Did manage a very light grip routine - hardly worth writing it down but just feeling good enough to even try was very encouraging.

Ribs still improving but bearable at this point.  Did manage a little grip work - had to stay light but got some reps in anyway.  Backed my medication off to 1/2 pill 3x a day - we'll see how it does on the pain and hopefully helps with the side effects.  I fell in the bathtub last night (a slip really)- my balance is - well - gone.  I've got to get the side effects down some. 

Started out the day with the ribs hurting like a bit...  But as time went on they improved to where I was able to get a few things done around the garage..  Changing my face pain medication - instead of one pill twice a day - I'm going to try 1/2 pill every 8 hours (3x a day).  I need to address these side effects but still not suffer from the face pain too much.  Time will tell how much I can back off and still be OK. 

Home from my rock climbing and tourist trip to Kalymnos and Greece.  Had a wonderful wonderful time and climbed pretty well for me.  Fell "down" the hill on a descent (actually fell a couple times) which wasn't much fun and left a few bangs and bruises - I highly recommend falling "up" a hill if you fall at all.  My balance is totally "fubar ed" from the face pain drug but the drug did a great job on the pain the entire trip.  I want to address the balance issue with the doctor and in my training. 

AM
