Baydale, where are you?

[Thistle]

Just wondered if you are OK after the horrid start to the week. It's not nice getting another year older when you are a 'certain' age is it?

You have gone quiet on us. Did you have physio or hasn't that happened yet?

 

[Baydale]

I'm here, you don't get rid of me that easily.

Enough of the "certain age" stuff thanks, I'm not quite over the hill yet even if I'm nearer the summit than a lot of you on here.

Went to the physio who explained all about my injury. I mustn't weight-bear on that side at all, and am to take it easy for the next 3 weeks. The only exercise she could give me to do was buttock-clenching - insert your own gag there.

She'll see me in 3 weeks and get me exercising and swimming (never thought I'd be able to get excited about the prospect of exercising, but such are my boredom levels that I can now

), then walking unaided (wasn't sure if she meant unaided by drugs, or crutches, or both

). She said riding will be easier than walking (duh, obviously

) but I don't want to be bracing my leg too much at first - shoving it into that broken pelvis region -(so no bucking survival moments or downhill/drop situations early on.....that rules out riding Jupiter or going xc schooling then

)So, things will be grim for three more weeks, then less grim, getting back to normal levels of ungrimness (made-up word

) in 10-12 weeks.

Bummer then!

perhaps not the best choice of words given your exercises though!!!!

I suspected you would be told to rest more. A bit of grimmness now for long term future etc.

can she use any treatments to spped it all up are are you just waithing for mother nature to get her act together.

You need to put a zapper in your right(?) shoe so it shocks you if you put weight on it!

 

[Baydale]

Mother Nature is doing her best, but got homeopathic stuff to take too.

The zap I need is the shooting pain in my pelvis when I weight-bear. Trust me, you wouldn't do it more than once, or not unless you've taken twice the amount of drugs you should have!
