Injuries can be rough. I tore my peck muscles a few times when I was younger. But I have no doubt your tendon will completely heal within 6-9 months, so it is all about keeping your sanity during that time, which it looks like you are doing a good job at already.
Being able to do light legs, light cardio, lightly work my good arm will make me feel less helpless make me feel like I have a release and more control over the situation. I don’t want to get motivated to start training again and hurt something else like a hamstring ( first time I had ever pull or tore a hamstring my whole Life) because I just been laying around for months deconditioning my body I want to be in relatively decent shape so when the arms good to go. I just need to strengthen it up to the rest of my body ramp everything up and be good to go
On the last one I don’t think I was cleared to lift more then 5lbs until 6 months in took me a full year to get back to the same strength I did even get stronger. It was more mental then anything. the very conservative approach definitely hurt me mentally I felt like everything I had ever worked for was disappearing before my eyes like I couldn’t do anything to improve and stop it meanwhile you see the people who used to believe in you completely give up on you and push you to get a full time job early before I’m even recovered so they won’t have to waste any more money on me. Is what it is I believe if I had the mindset I have now when I was young it would have been a way different recovery. Still I’m try to make this surgery my bitch not the other way around
