Well, where do I start? As you have noticed, it has been a while since my last entry. The good news is that I am alive and well...the bad news is that I tore my left biceps tendon last Friday while training arms. I wasn't doing anything out of the ordinary, just some one-armed preacher curls and all of a sudden "snap!" I have had chronic pain in my left elbow region for quite a while now, and have always chalked it up to "tendonitis"...um...not so apparently. I immediately went to the ER and then a subsequent Orthopaedic appt. I have since then had surgery to reattach the tendon to the bone and am recovering nicely. I can tell you that the pain involved in this experience has been nothing short of breathtaking! I cannot stand taking pain pills, but have had to succumb to it to relieve some of the sharpness. Total recovery is looking like around 3 mos. ( I plan to beat that of course--intelligent rehab and the natural propensity to heal quickly sets me ahead of the curve)

I thought at length about how to approach this on my site and how to still provide great content for my members and have it all figured out! lol! Bear in mind, that I still have 3/4 of my body that I can still train during this time and plan to do just that. I will also be throwing in some really cool videos documenting not only the progression of the non-injured parts, but the rapid recovery of my arm. I have soooo much to do and share with you all, that I have decided to have a "Road To Recovery" gallery much like my "Road To Victory". I am also starting a more in-depth journal in the member's section as well. You think I tell it like it is here...just wait for that to begin!

I would also like to announce that I have plenty of time to rehab this arm and have my pro debut be early next year, just as planned. The only rescheduling that I have done has been my guest posing appearance at the Texas State Championships. I cannot tell you how disappointed I am to have to cancel that!

I am very interested in hearing from all of you who have had to undergo rehab such as mine, so please do not hesitate to email me and tell me all about it...tips, etc.. would be greatly appreciated.

With all that being said, I want to let you all know that I am still IN ACTION, and have a warrior's mentality that will have me on the mend in no time!

Love,
G

Just got in from my homestate of TEXAS tonight. I was fortunate enough to go to Texas Stadium in Dallas to watch the Supercross. I really enjoyed it! That high-flying, death-defying stuff is thrilling to watch.

Feeling a little run down today...I think I may be getting a head cold. It sucks because I have crazy allergies during season changes, so I am not sure if this is allergies or a cold...we will see soon enough I guess.

I am sure you all have noticed my new homepage to the site. I changed some pics up to show a more "recent" me and will be redesigning the free section like I have been needing to do for somewhile. I am also going to change my store out and add/replace some pics as well as adding my new TEAM GINA DAVIS t-shirts. They are the ones that my family/crew/fans all wore during last year's nationals. They are SO cool! I had them made with very durable tees and the screen printing is top-notch. Be on the lookout for those in the very near future.

I would like to give a big THANK YOU/HUGS to the nice people that have donated to my pro debut. Terrific people like you renew my faith in humanity. You are truly appreciated!

Another big thanks goes out to my loyal members. WOW! What a group I have! I am so grateful for all of you and will continue to give you an exclusive look into G's world. All of your suggestions are duly noted and will be implemented in future updates.

Upon arriving home tonight, I checked the mailbox and there was the new issue of NPC NEWS MAGAZINE. Yours truly is on the cover along with a nice coverage of Nationals. So cool to see yourself on the cover of anything...as long as it isn't a milk carton! lol! For those of you non-NPC members, here is a portion of the coverage.
