Monday 3/3/14

Dead Lift to Hip Snatch (yes really)
  • More a balance complex than a strength complex at this stage.
  • Seated on his bench - dead lift off a block - slow-mo snatch up to pause - lower - repeat
  • 1 pound weight bar x 5
  • 2 pound weight bar x 3
  • 4 pound weight bar x 3

Wheelbarrows (walking on hands with hip support)
30 feet x 2

An excellent short workout.

Tuesday 3/4/14
  • Physical Therapy with Miss Sarah.
  • Basketball drills with Coach Robinson -- working on balance and throwing

Wednesday 3/5/14
  • Recovery and stretching with Dad.  Yoga stuff for my hips.
  • CP makes my left hip turn in and my right hip turn out.  This puts a lot of strain on the left knee, that (when coupled with yesterday's basketball drills) builds up inflammation.  I'm not able to bear much weight on my left knee this evening, but recovery will be quick.  Mom will get my knee sleeve on me for tomorrow.

Thanks to Brittney and the Woods family!

Thursday 3/6/14

Physical therapy with "Iron Dawn"
  • Miss Dawn has been helping me since I was six months old.  She's tough, but I owe that lady a lot.
  • Left knee is still not bearing weight, so no squats.  I am under orders to rest it.
  • Lots of stretching and realignment.
Triceps
  • No squats, so I am learning to do bench dips instead.
  • Starting on the bench and pressing up on blocks.

Core stuff because you can never have too much.

Thanks! Mr. Parker.

Nearly a full week without an update? Tell your dad he is slacking! 

Have to say thanks for sharing the pictures of your little brother Roland giving it a go on 'Atlas Stones'
Pretty cool to have a kid brother that wants to work out with ya, isn't it?

Drat.  Ms. B beat me by minutes.

Monday 3/10/14
  • PT with Miss Sarah.  Stretching and mobility.
  • Core work with Dad and Roland

Tuesday 3/11/14
  • I still can't bear weight on my left leg, so we are headed to my orthopedist, Dr. Fabregas, today. 
  • What we expect is that Dr. Fabulous (we like to call him that) will recommend changing my ankle-foot-orthotics to knee-ankle-foot-orthotics.  My orthotics craftsman, Jason, is really good and said he could probably make knee pieces that could attach and detach to my existing AFOs to make them KAFOs or not.
  • Itching to get out on the track.  The flowers are blooming and time is wasting.

Quick update:
Dr. Fabulous said my hips are fine and that there is no bone damage in my knee.  He wants to tweak the mechanical hinge on my left AFO to see if that will help.  In the meantime the inflammation is better and I am able to bear a little weight.  We will see what Iron Dawn says this week, and maybe I can do some cautious distance training this coming weekend.

Upper body work tonight.  Dad says we're working on my guns, but visually impaired people don't shoot well, so I'm not sure what he has in mind.

Thank you Mr. Clevenger!

Roland has better balance and speed.  Duncan is just raw power.  These lifts he's doing are for balance more than strength.  He levered me out of the chair the last time we went to his dentist.

Heh... Roland the Conquerer... it's like you have a camera in our house.

Physical Therapy with Iron Dawn
  • Stretching and realignment
  • Weight bearing and some waking with assistance
  • Medicine ball slams with a texture ball and then with a basketball while receiving only hip support
  • I have been cleared to get back to walking as long as we monitor my knee for inflammation!

Week of 3/17/14 - 3/23/14 -- all walking practice
  • Hold the X walking.  Iron Dawn has me doing this.  For each step I twist the opposite hand forward to exaggerate the weight shift.  I helps me take bigger steps.
  • Regular transitional walking at school.  This got better as the week passed.  I am getting some strength back in my knee.
  • First distance benchmark.  While Mom was running her 5k race today, Dad, Roland, and I walked a quarter mile!

The new route for the March for Babies is all flat ground, and the main loop is 1.2 miles.  My PR from last year is .75 miles, but I think I have time to get it.

Week of 3/24/14 - 3/28/14 -- all walking practice
  • Hold the X walking. Still taking bigger steps.
  • Soccer Drills with Coach Robinson at school!
  • Regular transitional walking at school.  Still no issues with my knee.
  • Second distance benchmark will happen this weekend.  If the weather holds, we will go to the track and see what I can do.  Video footage!
Now... today was a good day.  Iron Dawn is still pushing me to succeed on my crutches in Physical Therapy.  Guess who found his balance today and did some marching in place with very little contact support?





I only have about a month left before the March.  Time to get <more> busy.

Saturday 3/29/14

Distance
  • Attending the funeral of my Great-Uncle Jimmy in Rock Hill, SC, and I needed to get out of the crowd and walk.  Clocked 1/4 mile at The Oratory.

Sunday 3/30/14

Big step training
  • Climbing 10" steps to work on leg isolation
  • Half of them left leg pushes and half of them right leg pushes

Wall Climb
  • Leg isolation again and hip abduction
  • Plus it's fun because I get to slide down.

Distance
  • Another 1/4 mile with Dad and Roland.
  • It's good to be outside in the sun.


Wall climb --



Walking --



Dad is working on a training video.  It's time to start pushing the distance.

Week of 3/31 - 4/5

Spring Break from school!

Iron Dawn has me working on flat shoe walking, i.e. not with my leg braces.  So every other day this past week we did hill climbs in my Converse Allstars.  We want to build a little more strength before we push for more distance.

I also restarted hippotherapy last Friday.  Riding a horse is very good for my core strength and my hips.  My first year of hippotherapy was the final piece of the puzzle that helped me learn to walk.  This is now my third year.

Dad also has me doing isometric exercises for my upper body -- lat holds and planks.

Dad and I visited  some potential Team Duncan sponsors this weekend as well.  We are trying to get the local businesses to kick in for a spot on the back of the team shirt.  There is only a month left before the March for Babies, so we have to kick the fundraising into a higher gear.

New video coming soon!

Thank you Mr. Bill!  Say 'hi' to Rosey for me.

Dad just sent off requests to IronMind and to Sorinex to see if they want to sponsor donate to the march as business/corporate sponsors.  It never hurts to ask.

Edited to clarify 'sponsor'

Got a 'no' from Sorinex, but only because they put their charity contributions toward a veterans' organization.  I'm certainly not going to argue with that.
