Wednesday

So, felt tired this morning. I have been fatigued all week, ever since sleeping terribly on Saturday night and then going crazy on Sunday. I have set a goal to try to get at minimum 8 hours every night and my Whoop should help track that well. Since it's such a quick turn around for me on Wednesday night when I get off work at 7pm and have to be back at 6:45am, there isn't time for much. I decided quick rehab, compression, eat, and bed would be a good plan.

Rehab:
Felt decent today and decided to try the rower. I have been wanting to get to it as I feel like to foot angle will allow me to work into DF and PF with each rowing stroke but I wanted to wait until I felt better about controlling that motion. I got loosened up and then hit it followed by yoga. Yoga is another one of my goals to get back to to try to improve my general recovery and get back into throwing shape. I've slacked off on general mobility since this ankle injury and need to get back into so when the ankle is ready, I will be too.

Standing ABCs both legs, still definitely different on the R.

Standing leg swings, working on tolerating the rotation moment at the ankle with the leg swings. No pain, good confidence.

Heel/Toe Raises. Getting better here, improved ROM and tolerance.

Rowing: 5 minutes, decent pace ankle felt ok

Yoga: Worked through the first few stretches of the Throga sequence I do. Mostly felt ok.

NormaTec compression

Bed.

The ankle is feeling better. I was able to do some standing rotation on the R on the cement without issue, minimal friction but felt stable without the brace. Hopefully this leads to getting back in the field sooner. I will try to get some sheaf throws in in the next few days as I think the stationary nature will be fine. I may also try some WOB with the standards to get some reps in and feel the ankle out.
