Prayers Needed
Wednesday:
Back Squat 342.5 lbs. 1 x 0.5, 1 x 1
EZ Bar Curls 105 lbs. 1, 115 lbs. 1, 120 lbs. 1, 125 lbs. 1, 100 lbs. 5 x 5
So I found out that I may be spending Christmas at the hospital. My youngest sister, Angel, has severe scoliosis of the spine, and she has to have it operated on. My mom said that they might have to put a synthetic spine in her back. All I can say is that that would really suck. She could become paralyzed or have to spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair.
I remember how nervous I used to get before the surgeries on my cleft lip and palate. I used to wish that I was getting somewhere else on my body operated on instead of my head and face. I was so anxious I'd say to myself, "I wish I was getting a foot operated on." But now I'm grateful that that was not the case. There is also a risk that Angel could even die.
Thus, I am saying my prayers for her. On an unrelated subject, I'm seeing some incremental progress, however small, on managing to add weight on my lifts. As I was doing my EZ bar curls, I'd look at the picture of Arnold Schwarzenegger on the gym wall with the caption which read, "Pain is temporary," and I'd look at his biceps and say, "If I want guns like that, I need to nail this lift!" My muscles feel stronger now that I've saturated them with creatine. Yesterday was the last day of the loading phase.
I guess tomorrow I'll have to see if I make any more progress. Now I'm just sitting here with Bull on the television in front of me and songs playing from the TV on the wall behind me. I'm 94% of the way through House of Chains. I guess I'll just get back to reading now. Much love.
