Productive phone call Tuesday with the Seattle doctors. I have been given a Green Light for all things fun, or in this case exercise. And I have an action plan for the next few months from them. To begin with I can swim and use weights. I can bike and I can run. I have to self-monitor (uh-oh) and gradually build back up. Nothing long yet. I can go to altitude.
I am being sent a couple of test kits. I need to see some other doctors down here for specific exams. They want me to eventually come up and while there do a lactate threshold and resting metabolic test with a power to weight ratio thrown in. I said I can do that here no problem.
We talked about training volume and nutrition and different scenarios I can look into down here to help me out.
I asked if there was any conditions I need to place on my training and he was pretty straightforward, nothing to hard. He has a client on the Slipstream cycling team that has a similar condition to me and is now doing very well but it was a process.
I am ready for my next big adventure...I just gotta find my running shoes.

You mentioned that you "can go to altitude." I suspect that you can also go very well with attitude.
Listen to the body and the medical people. I want to keep reading your stuff for a long, long, long time.
Good news--but yes, please be more cautious than your temperament inclines you to be! For instance, might be a good time to work on swim technique?!?
Oh no! They are letting you self monitor???
(just teasing)
that's excellent news, how happy you must be :)
Excellent news!!!
Woohoo!! That's wonderful new Comms. Enjoy - I know you will :-)
That's great Comm's! Err on the side of caution though, as "not too hard" definitely means different things to different people!
Happy for you. Just be careful, ya hear? :-)
woo hoo! Except yeah - rein it in buddy. I know I get frustrated with working on technique because it is slow. But perhaps maybe, now is the time to do that - make it all about the technique. Work on glide, work on pedal stroke, work on slow. In the process, I would bet you get a better connection with your body in general.
we can build it, better, faster, stronger, etc.
Great news! Not even Rhabdo can keep a good man down!
Congratulations on getting your 'Get Out of Jail' card!
You do have a way of bouncing back, don't you!
I have every confidence that you will rein it in and be careful.
Sanity returns to the Mann household...
Wonderful news, Comm!!!
Yay!
But be careful when Mo yells mush! ;)
WOO HOOO!!! That's is fantastic news! I am so happy for you!
