Back in the saddle...

So it's been a rough few days, which explains my lack of posting.  Let me preface by saying that I got my appendix removed in December of 2008, or so I thought.  Over the past few weeks I'd been having some pretty intense pain on the lower right sight of my abdomen.  Last week, though, it got unbearable to the point of having to head into the hospital to get checked out.

Now, I had all of the symptoms of an appendicitis, but dammit, "I already got my appendix removed, so it's got to be something else, right?!"

WRONG!

The idiot surgeon left part of my appendix in during the first surgery.  Over the course of the last 13 months I developed an abcess, or an open wound inside my abdomen.  The infection apparently became very severe and bordered on life-threatening (if that fucker'd ever bursted, I'd be in a ton of trouble!).

Anyway, long story short, I had to get my appendix RE-removed, which sucks, and regardless of what anyone tells you, having your abs cut open hurts like crazy.  You really notice your "core" working when it's in pain!

So today I've been reading and came across a great article that I'll share with you HERE!

There's a ton of interesting stuff within the article, but my favorite part talks about how people are "too busy to train."

Unfortunately, most people view training as a liability, rather than as an investment in their health.

Go figure.

Anyway, that's all I've got for you today.  Needless to say, my training is going to change a bit over the coming weeks.  I'll keep it all updated here for anyone who cares.

Stay healthy and keep training hard!
