The 2006 recap:
Lifting:
I returned in june. My upperbody was surprisingly strong in most aspects as I did a 100kg bench and some respactable pullups and Borows right away. My lower body on the other hand was very, very weak. That was expected as I had times in 06 when I couldnt walk some stairs in a row due to my legs giving up. Legmuscleatrophie - typicall cortison sideeffect. Starting again from a very low level was hard. Especially as my health-condition was and is often still quite bad. The nutrition is not what it should be and on many days its total shit. But I cant change that and have to deal with it. Another thing holding me back is that I cant train my abs directlly most of the time.
Still I made some good gains I would say. Could have been much better. And sometimes the progress stagnated for quite some time. But in the long run I became stronger and more solid.
My OHP and my Frontsquat are now stronger than they ever were. Main reason is that I didnt train those lifts preUC. Alll in all I didnt train like an idiot when I was still healthy. And this leads to me saying that Im today all in all stronger than I ever was in my life.
Thanks to all people here leading my to the right path in lifting.
UC:
The UC and I have our ups and downs. A life still isnt possible but at least I lift on pretty regular basis for about half a year now. This wouldnt have benn possible in 05 at all.
Im off the cortison since April. My body should be almost fully recovered from the 1 1/2 year of taking the cortison.
One of the biggest disappoinments in my life hit me when I realized that the studymedication didnt help enough to reach a remission. At the same time I had accept the fact that my realtionship was over - mainly due to the circumstances the UC brought with her.
Wow. Did all that really happen in one year?
What a fucking long way that was.
In April I spent 3 weeks in hospital for paraental nutrition. Hard times.
Today Im closer to a removal of the colon than I ever was. Almost all medcaments didnt work. There is not much left.
All in all I reached a lot in 2006. But the last time I was out ona aprty or something is about 2 years ago. The last time I felt really happy and relaxed is that long ago that I cant even remember how that feels like.
But if I make as much progress in 2007 as I made in 2006 I will be in remission by the end of the year and will be very, very stong ;D .
From today in addition to the Prograf Im on Antibiotics again. Healthcondition was very bad the last couple of days and I lost way too muich blood. Next monday me and the prof will decide wether I will go to hospital one more time.
This is fucking Vietnam
