Nancy - your signed in under Rogers user name (it happens to Neil and I once in a while too) Glad things went well...Healing vibes, and rest easy :wave:
Nancy I'm very glad to hear the surgery went well. Injuries...blah! You take care and get back on that bike!
That is great news! Especially for the rest of us as those sponge baths you were gettin' just did not cut it. :beer:
That's excellent! I stopped taking the hard stuff days after my hand injury too. Ibuprofen or Naproxen to keep the inflammation down and that's all you need. (of course, I can't forget Roger lovin', for me it was Cathy lovin') Some day we'll end up riding SB together with the rest of the FOCer's. :wave:
Update Swelling is almost gone! No more crutches and back to work today. Gets stiff when sitting for a long time. Need to get up and walk more. Still waiting to start PT. Thanks for all the encouragement!!
Thats great news. Glad all is going well and youre eager to start PT. We have a guy here at work thats a couple weeks ahead of you but he has a torn ACL too.
Glad to hear you are getting better! PT is always good since you're on your way to healing and no longer need repair
I had rode A LOT prior to a bit of scope work I had done, I was back on my bike in a week. Just simple parking lot type riding, went for a lap around the Rose Bowl. The next week I rode to the Rose Bowl to do my lap. My doctor said that he wasn't going to perscribe any PT, if anything he was going to hold me back. Basically, it's listen to your body and just do things while eduring a bit of pain. It'll begin to subside... Sounds like you are doing great though!! :clap:
glad to hear you are fixed and up and hobbling around...............modern medicine is great, crash, get fixed, and ride on............see you on the trails soon I hope!!!
Rehab update 7/8 Week 2 of Physical Therapy has begun. Lots of Isometric exercises while straightening the leg and flexing the quad (ouch) and 10 minutes on the stationary bike!!!! PT Tech says 4-6 weeks total before I can get on a real bike. My 1 month follow up with the Orthopedist is next Wednesday. Pray for positive results!!!!
Miss you... Just keep thinking those positive thoughts & you'll do just fine... back before you know it.
Update 7/17/08 Went to the Orthopedist today. I can now ride my bike off the trainer!!! Just flat pavement riding for now, 30 minutes at a time with rest breaks. Oh, and the PT added weights to my therapy routine. Woo Hoo!!! BTW, I did actually ride Roger's RFX last night around the block 3 times. :bang: Brian Head Nationals, here I come!!!
