I assume you are really can't walk after this operation. How about swimming? You don't have to be michael Phelps, you just do it at your pace . Just threading water might be more exercise than what you are getting. And if you like the pool, it can be fun.
Where the hell is Dizzee?
DIZZEEEEEE!
You got that right.WHAAAAAAT?
Oh.. I see now. Did someone post a pic of Fethrs? Did I miss it? Dammit! I've been waiting for some clues of what she looks like. So far this is as close as I've gotten. I believe that's her Moms elbow in this pic.
Mall would be good, scenery should be great! You could use a walker.Dei8, you didn't mention this so I will ask--are you out of work for 3 weeks or have they offered you light duty during your rehab?
You did mention that they have you in a boot. Is there any way to put additional padding under the incision point so that you can begin to walk? If so, and if doing so does not cause discomfort, perhaps you begin a light walking regimen and gradually build it up to the point where you feel comfortable walking for an extended period, either at your complex or at your local mall.
Now you've gone and done it, I have to go to the store and get some double choc chip cookies and some milk. Gee thanks.No light duty, which to be honest Im glad. there is no way I could stand on this all day. Calorie intake is the problem. Its easy to say I will eat right, but for example this morning had chocolate cookies and milk. It was awesome. We as drivers never get to do something like that, except on an occasional weekend. Will power, I have none lol I will be starting a walk program as soon as it feels a bit better, and will do the pool after the stiches come out
Speaking of being off, how are you doing?Now you've gone and done it, I have to go to the store and get some double choc chip cookies and some milk. Gee thanks.
I'm wondering if UPS will let me order the next size shorts before I get off comp?
pretty much the same, just waiting on Lib-Mut to approve further treatment.Speaking of being off, how are you doing?
I hope you don't have to wait to much longer.pretty much the same, just waiting on Lib-Mut to approve further treatment.
Both Docs have told me they think the trouble I am having now is because Lib-Mut waited too long to start my initial treatment from the start. They think that waiting two weeks allowed scare tissue to build up, where the therapy would have prevented it.
Thanks, this setting around most of the time is getting really boring.I hope you don't have to wait to much longer.
Thanks for the update. Hope it all works out for you. As far as eating goes, I do the same thing. Don't leave me in a house full of food. I say you need to get out in the fresh air and away from the house. Go to the park and walk around a bit. Come home afterwards and take a nap. This will help the time pass. Don't worry about slight weight gain, 10-15lbs, as this will come off after a couple weeks of driving.Hey guys,
thanks for all the ideas, I threw the horizontal by my wife but she said she has a headache. I dont understand why she cant hold down my feet with a headache. Oh well. The pool idea is great, its this damn weather that needs to clear up. We have a pool at our complex, but outside. As for the surgery, I tried everything from orthotics to shots to ice to stretching. Nothing worked. They say surgery is the last resort. So far, no pain from the surgery, but was on crutches for 5 days. No longer on crutches, in a boot, and let me tell you there is some pain. Supposedly it is short term. Will keep you guys updated. Thanks again for the advice
That's it, upstate, get him near a food court.Dei8, you didn't mention this so I will ask--are you out of work for 3 weeks or have they offered you light duty during your rehab?
