Blog Eighteen - Physical Therapy or Physical Torture

Well my bursitis did flare up. Got a cortisone shot a couple of weeks back to help soothe the pain and ache. Drove my blood sugar crazy for about a week or so. Since then I've been going to physical therapy twice a week.

It is not bad and the people are nice. However I can see that the regimen is going to get more pain filled as time goes by. Worth the price if I can get back to more strength conditioning on my upper body.

While I'm not doing upper body (okay I'm doing some but shhhh - don't tell my therapists) I'm focusing on core and lower body. Still getting in 30 - 60 minutes on the elliptical on the regular. Or more like, if I do 60 minutes I don't do any other exercise. If I do less than 60 minutes I work on legs and abs. The prime reason is that this level of exercising has a distinct impact on my blood sugar. I can go from high normal (basically just after eating) to low normal (I need to eat) in that time.

Balance, as always it is all about balance.
