Golfers Elbows

I turned in my fantasy golf team last week and opening week is next weekend - I can't divulge who my golfers are - too many other players waiting for me to slip.   HOWEVER - I am all over Kevin Chappell!!

-------------------------

 I get really tired of people saying this generation of kids are worthless and only think of themselves - check out this video and let me know if you get a tear in your eye!

Link to Video

Oscars - anybody watch them last night? Watch Renee Zellweger - was was RIPPED. I'm not sure she could actually focus.

Oddly DJ and I have actually seen a few of those movies.

OH - SAD news - Somehow our DVR did not record the last episode of Downton Abby a couple weeks ago. VERY sad night Friday night.  SO - we saw it was on again Sunday Morning so we could record it THEN.

Argo won best movie which was no surprise - I tried to put a wager on the movie and it was $10 to win $1 (get $11 back).  Not great odds!
--------------------------

Well - We were also recording the Daytona 500 AND Portlanda Sunday morning at the same time and DIRECT TV did not worn of a conflict - SO - it did not record.   How about the internet?  Seems our PS3 can not show that type of software from PBS.  DAMN IT.

So now we have to watch in on a computer.  We will be like listening to Truman on the radio or something, all huddled around a tiny screen.  grrrrrrr

Monkey Bar Gym finally got me.

Friday was a tough day at the gym.  100 push ups 100 pull ups 100 Hindu squats and 100 clean and jerks . . with out the jerk part.

When I was done (never made it to 100) I felt PUMPED but Saturday instead of feeling that wonderful muscle soreness I felt other pains in the front of my elbows.  Tendinitis.  Seems I over worked things a little too much.  Golfers elbow. Which is the opposite of tennis elbow. 

Can barely straighten either arm. I feel like I'm in a permanent cramp.

But there in research I was surprised at how you are suppose to treat golfers elbow.   Sure cold to the sore area but that will not really do much but make it feel better.  The key is to immobilize your wrists.

Why??  put your arm out, palm up.  Make a fist.  Now holding your forearm move your clenched wrist towards you.  The muscles on the outside stretch and the muscles on the inside contract.  Now move your wrist the other way.  The muscles and tendons on the inside stretch.  Your wrist is the key, not the elbow.

So I'm going to walk around all day with a limp wrist waving at my friends. Hello Hello!!

The rest of me feels GREAT!!

I'm now in hour 10 of fasting and CRAVING . . . anything.  at 9:30 I have a wellness clinic and they are going to do all sorts of tests.  I can't even take bird food out to the birds, I might eat some.

I'll let you know if I live or not tomorrow.

Gotta stop - I'm using my wrists!
