I wrestled the big, heavy mattress again. I will probably end up doing it this coming week, too. Once again, I did not do any significant number of reps with it.
I am feeling a little, tiny bit better and I've been pushing off from the wall, trying to get some stamina back. No stretchy-rubbery-thing exercises, because my dexterity has plummeted to the point where I am too likely to suddenly let go and randomly hit myself in the face. It's hard to mishandle an entire wall, though, so I have been using that, and my own muscle tension, to work against.
This weekly post was in my mind, actually, while I was checking under the bed for something, and has made me more mindful and more likely to put time in to working my muscles. I might be at the bottom end of the achievement scale, but anything really is better than nothing, at least for self-esteem-raising purposes.

Then you call it your one-rep max. *g*
