Now, I can use my right hand and arm again, thank the lord, but to about 90% of what it was. Weightlifting on machines, pull ups or push ups, certain stretches etc. are not a physical possibility for me anymore, which really stinks.

To force my bum into action, I've signed up to do the half marathon in Windsor, England this September. Better get started :dizzy: |
