Well, this will have to wait one more year.
First, this happened.
We still have no real clues of what's going on, and I am not hopeful on tearing apart the injector pump. Bu I am no mechanic, and two mechanics confirmed it. Let's follow the flow. A tweaking round of that pump cannot be a bad thing anyway, since the time.... This engine is almost as old as me.
But that's a serious project to take on (next week), and who knows how long the boat will be immobilized ( I am actually moving it to another marina to start again the 120 days clock - hopefully, that will be enough).
Then, This happened.
I am not sure when I hurt myself, but I know for sure I do not have much power left in my left harm. I actually -somehow- damaged a nerve running from the next to the shoulder blade.
It is a not uncommon injury, but there is not much to do except waiting - waiting a long time - 6 months to a year ! Nerve tissue is slow to heal.
(more details for the curious : https://www.academyofclinicalmassage.com/long-thoracic-nerve-compression/)
It is more impressive than painful, but all activities implying the back muscle should be avoided, as you might compensate with (weaker) shoulder muscles. And not much physical therapy to do until the muscle activate itself (I cannot even trigger it at the moment).
Surfing, paddling, swimming and winch grinding - sailing, all unadvised.
Well, that's all for the bad news - so far.
The good news is that I found an awesome Physical Therapist on Oahu, and with me, he will have work for years :P
Well, actually we will see how that turns out :)
- Achille tendinitis
- Hip Impingement
- TFL Issues
- LTN - Winged Scapula
But so far, I am back at running - not fast, not long. I am actually spending twice the amount of running in stretching, then maybe I should consider my self a 'Stretcher'.
Jeez. I just did a 26.2 in stretching.
