Stab wound, need workout advice.

Vengeance66 · 04-14-2009, 03:28 AM

Alright guys. if you noticed in my default picture, i ****ed up my hand... this was because of a fight i got into.. i beat the bloody **** out of him and busted my hand... this was two months ago..
anyways, last tuesday, the ****er came back and stabbed me twice with a long but thin switch blade, one tore up my stomach while the other hit and infected my appendix.. I had emergency surgery, stomach was sewed up and appendix was surgically removed..
When should i start lifting again?
can i work out any part of my body now?
Id still like to lose weight and gain muscle by summer, im not fat but im not thin
im 5'11, 220 pounds, got quite a bit of muscle as it is

help?

anything, guys?

wow... u would have to wait till all the sutures and stiches are dissolved and everything is healed..

what did your doctors tell you about physical activity?

u said tore up ur stomach, can you handle food?

If you cant eat, there is no point of working out. I would suggest at least 1-2 weeks of resting to let your body heal. A quick call to your doctor for couple questions wouldnt hurt.

how long are you gonna be on antibiotics? I wouldnt suggest u workout while on antibiotics and in such a bad state. take some time off dude.

agh
was hoping you wouldnt say something like that
im on antibiotics for another week.
food goes down pretty easy now.. its been about a week

My doc is a dumbass btw.. im in kuwait, for the time being for undisclosed reasons.

Don't EVER lift on antibiotics

I say do mild workouts in a week or two, like nothing serious... Just to get the blood flowing in those areas... Or do cardio right now to increase blood flow and that'll help the healing of your infection and stitches. It'll help more then sitting on the couch all day.

Dude let the wounds heal. It's better to take a month off of training then rushing it and having to take even more time off. You aren't gonna drastically lose any thing you've acheived by taking it easy for awhile.

nothing hates me more than people who cant fight without weapons !

Vengeance66 · 04-14-2009, 10:37 AM

yeah man, idc, i beat the ****ers ass without a knife..
I mean, i busted my ****ing knuckle on his face..
heh..

well thanks guys.. i think I know what im going to do.
Im going to wait about a week then start light and do workouts that dont strain my wounds. ima stay away from free weights for a little while and use machines and **** like that..
any objections?

Marcus8880 · 04-14-2009, 11:37 AM

btw, get that guy thrown in jail or something... where is the love

Vengeance66 · 04-14-2009, 12:25 PM

Since im in kuwait at the moment (going back to the states in 2 months)

Ill try to get the ****er back if i ever see him again.
