Thanks. I'm chillin' and letting things heal up. Spent Sunday at a CVMX tilt w/some friends. Stood trackside in the heat/dust of Cahuilla all day long - just lovin' the vibe. Trying to do some modified exercises to keep heart rate up and still work on my core a little. Staying to true to my Shakeology regiment as well.
Well, here's cast #2. I went in concerned over some swelling and the Doc was none too impressed w/the soft cast. Funny thing, this one will be cut off tomorrow when they go in to pull the stitches....then I get another one.
that looks familiar, incidently, Dr.Julie Ohayon pulled my pin today and I am back but on light duty she want to see me 4 weeks. so lite duty until then.,....no real moto stuff..maybe just little cruises around, no excitement rides yet
Alright, I've been in cast #3 now for about a month now (yup, cast #3 - pictured) and it's due to come off on the 7th. I'm able to grip/hold onto some things now/ I went out to the garage Saturday and was able to squeeze the clutch on the Husky - which is a good thing, right?
Give it time, Brother. I know how strong the urge to push a recovery is, but it isn't the right choice. A strong will doesn't knit bone, time and good nutrition do. When you think you can, wait two weeks and then try. Been there, made the wrong choices. I'm probably older than you but a broken bone doesn't feel 100 % for me for 2 years. 16 weeks until it's "usable". Hang in there, don't trade future health to scratch the itch too early!
I played hockey for a lot of years and, when sidelined by an injury, I viewed it as a little vacation from the sport. This is different, it's almost like I'm being punished. I hear what you guys are saying. I'll sit it out a little longer.
We're getting closer by the hour. Tomorrow this 2014 model cast (2.0) is coming off! Cue the Rocky theme music: View: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PtvLTZS4Ik
Alright, the casr came off today. The wrist still feels a little stiff however. I'll gradually get back into the weights but will certainly start out light. They took X-Rays too I grabbed both the before and after shots - cuz I'm cool like that. Bike goes into the shop tomorrow for some "work ups". This will also prevent me from hopping on and heading out before the wrist is ready.
Thanks. Itching to get out there like crazy but know better. The Doc asked if I had learned anything from this. I said, "ya, not to crash". He was NOT impressd.
