Being put on the bench: toe injury

Well I'm going to make this long story short.

After noticing a funny pain in my toe and weird looking bruise that hadn't gone away in over a week. I mustered up the courage to go to the doctor and find out what was going on.

Well after many diagnoses, I found out I had grade 1 to 2 turf toe. I also have a bone spur at the joint of my big toe. That is pressing against my tendon and nerves. After almost 4weeks I've been cleared for hiking as long as I wear a toe proctor and shoes while exercising. This injury isn't over but I'm not done exercising.:)

This is a hurdle that I making it over, and pushing through doing whatever exercises I can. Just trying to keep my routine going. I have to admit I miss the outside world. Walking restrictions have made my life frustrating and extremely limited.

Originally I was allowed to use a stationary bike, it my version of spinning. Nice hard workout for sure. Then when the docs suspected I tore my tendon I wasn't allowed to do anything with my feet involved so I shadow boxed for cardio.

This has been an interesting adventure. It may be not over yet, but I'm progressing well and thats what matters.
