But in this case the risk is different somehow. I think that’s because there\u00a0is no way to control the risk<\/em> while still taking it.\u00a0 I don’t know the parameters of the risk and I don’t know how much is too much, or how to tell when I’m even reaching that point of too much until after that point is already reached.\u00a0 So, I find myself thinking in pros\/cons…<\/span><\/p>\n

Pros :<\/strong> a day off of work, white water rafting<\/em>, fun in the sun enjoying a 70 degree day… etc.
\n<\/span>Cons:<\/strong> could re-injure myself, or at least set myself back.
\n<\/span>Other options:<\/strong> WF(H|C) and really kick some work butt\u2026 but do so from my favorite local coffee house.<\/span><\/p>\n

The thing is, about 90% of the time I feel fine\u2026 and it is almost 2 weeks since I\u2019ve been cut on.\u00a0 <\/span>That\u2019s long enough to heal if you\u2019re invincible, right???\u00a0 If only.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
