Notes - Well the good news here is that my wrist and forearm seem to be responding pretty well to the self treatments from yesterday (ice 3x, heat, and 2 sessions of lacrosse ball release). I put my arm on a pillow and keep it slightly elevated last night. It was a little stiff when I woke up but as always moving around is the best remedy. I told myself I would go slow and just see if I even felt like doing my standard kettlebell warmups. Fortunately I was feeling ok to do that and in fact none of the warmups bothered the arm/forearm at all, that was good. I am seeing Dave my acupuncturist / bodyworker this morning and I think that it going to be a good thing. I have full ROM in the wrist, can do normal stuff aka shaving, washing dishes, carrying stuff, typing on my computer etc. so I feel this is going to be a relatively minor setback assuming I can focus on doing smart rehab and being patient. I have been going very hard for 3 months of training, all summer, and this is probably a good time anyway to take a deep breath, get some balance, and then get my body rested to start another cycle. My recovery work is fairly pathetic re: sleeping enough and with the school year starting again it is just the right time to try and get some things in order here so that I can be in a good position to continue the upward trend in my training.
