Questions this video answers

About 75–80% recovered.

One week with no activity.

Ray-Ban sleeves.

Extreme flexion points of the elbow.

I feel like I'm definitely at least 75, maybe 80% recovered.
When did you return back to your more normal activities?
So I think you had told me a longer downtime period, but I didn't. I went a week. I went a week with no activity. And then I got back into the gym and I wore sleeves, the Ray Ban sleeves for the workouts. And I still do. And again, cautiously just got back into my normal routine of workout.
You're pretty much unimpeded by the elbow or.
Yeah, just those extreme flexion points is what reminds me. I'm still have that issue, but I feel like I'm definitely at least 75, maybe 8% recovered.
And we're still working on him. We've done our first elbow injection. We have another one that we're going to do on him. So we'll do another in this series to sort of show even more improvement.
