Over the holidays December 22nd, changed my life but I’m getting better. And getting stronger with the help of IronMan clinic PT. One of those typical car collisions we hear about, a person on their cell phone (at least she admitted to the police) and not paying attention to driving. I was rear ended from full force, my neck, spine and lower back took a beating. Torn and pulled ligaments but thankfully nothing broken, although kinda feels like it. My neurologist Dr Joseph Cochran has cleared me to start weights to get my strength back along with some light swims, just 200-400 only. CT and MRI look great now. Chris Ritter is my trainer and has been for the past 3 years. He did a phenomenal job getting me strong again after my kidney surgery in November and I have full confidence he’ll get me strong again from this car accident injury. First workout was lighter from today’s but it still felt great!

I simpley can’t thank Chris Ritter enough for helping me get back on track. He has been my trainer for a couple years and has been there for me through tough times ie.. family crisis, emergency surgery, and unpredictable weather fatalities. I’ve had trainers in the past but Chris is one of a kind. With his passion and dedication to help athletes and myself reach our goals to become stronger has made me have more belief in myself. It’s like when unexpected things in life happen he has helped me become strong again, fast again, and smooth and efficient in my strokes. I’m almost 100% again in my strength and I’m definitely swimming strong!! Thanks Chris.. Although you may not ever see this blog!! LOL💪🏼🏊🏼*♀️💦
