Peyton Manning update

Apologies, folks. It's been a while since I've posted here with any sort of substance. The last few rotations have been a lot busier, and we've been going through residency applications which is its own monster.

As news broke earlier this week, Peyton Manning is entering his next stage of rehab following his X-ray and CT scans that have revealed appropriate fusion of his vertebrae from surgery.

He has mentioned he will likely start throwing and lifting weights in the start of this next phase of what I'm sure will be intense physical therapy needed for a high performance athlete to return to optimal function. Considering he hasn't been able to do any practice for so long, his muscles likely have a lot of catching up to do.

As I mentioned in my previous post on this topic, the long-term prognosis after this surgery is not certain. However, like most sports injuries, how he does with his rehabilitation in these next few months will be an enormous factor in the success of this treatment.
