Having been cleared to exercise with no restrictions, today I went to the gym for my first workout in more than seven years.

     Focused on upper body today as last time I took Mei or a walk, she pulled this way and that and my back was sore for three days.  Determined to fix that, so worked on back, shoulders, arms, abdominal muscles, chest, tomorrow I will work lower body more.

     Nerve pain is there still, now I’ve got some muscle burn to go with it.  At least I can know that burn is one that is getting me to a better place.
