I used to train, diet, work and compete. Now I train, eat, and am retired. I have learned that it is possible to stay fit and healthy while cooking a great dinner with a cocktail in hand. Remember, "Life is not a dress rehearsal"

Gym Talk
I was leaving the gym cafe on Tuesday, with a cup of coffee in hand. Over walks "the doctor". You know the plastic surgeon who thinks I need to have my entire face done?
Doctor: "There you are, I have been looking all over for you, how come I haven't seen you lifting weights?'
Kristy: "I have an injury, I haven't lifted in a week."
Doctor: "What happened?"
Kristy: "I broke a rib, I can't lift for another 3 to 5 weeks."
Doctor: "Oh, what are you taking for pain, which rib and how did you do it?"
Kristy: "Vicodin, 10th left side, weight training."
Doctor: "Take plenty of fiber when you take Vicodin or you will get constipated, take benefiber, it's a great product and works wonderfully.
Kristy: "Thanks, I will keep that in mind."
Doctor: "I have decided to start deadlifting so I want you to teach me proper technique."
Kristy: (thinking WTF!!??) "I cannot lift a thing myself so we can talk about it after I rehabilitate myself."
Doctor:" OK, I will keep my eye out for you."
So, what do I ask for in return? Besides laughs galore, there is no way I am training a 70 year old plastic surgeon!
The gym is still fun even if I can only walk!
Be careful with this drug addiction. It is difficult to buy vicodin for being a narcotic prescription needs. Indicate online which is an opioid used for chronic pain, but mentioned that we must be careful with its side effects.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your concern, I took it the first week, only when sleeping and I haven't had any since. I don't typically take any pain relievers or other drugs for that matter.
