My injury to the shoulder is healing and I can take my sling off next week. Then I need to do loads of physio to regain full movement in the shoulder. Have some fancy new exercises to do so am being a good pupil as I know it is in my best interests.

Haven't ridden for about 5weeks now (which blows!) but the doc says I can get back on in about 4/5 weeks so I'm going to book a lesson soon. Yay. Also should be able to drive again at about the same time.

I reckon if I had my own I would have sneaked back on by now for a pootle about but I don't. SU
uppose I'm lucky I don't have the stress (and strain) of looking after one whilst broken.

So, how is everyone else getting on?
 
I'm getting really fed up with it now :(

I had two nerve blocks and an epidural yesterday... feel like crap today! My lower back is bruised and arching and my hips are as stiff as normal. :'( On the plus side the nerve block seems to be working I think :D
 
I'm getting my wrist x-rayed next week and fingers crossed cast can come off. Also two horses that are both on box rest are having vet check up same day to see if they can go out in the field...finally:D

Big week next week lol
 
I had more X-rays on tues (8 weeks since knee opp...had 2 screws to correct a fracture to my tibial plateau). X-rays looked really good and I can start putting weight through my leg. YAY :-D have been non weight bearing since Aug 23rd! Still have my splint on and crutches but can limp around the house now.

Got to go back in 2 weeks for more X-rays and check up to see if I can walk normally, start driving and more importantly get back on my now very hairy horse!! Can't wait! Surgeon said a minimum of another 4 weeks before riding. But my leg feel really good so hoping it wont be that long!

Get well soon to all the other broken people!
 
broke my collarbone 10 weeks ago and unfortunately didn't heal.

had my operation to plate the bone 3 weeks ago.

started driving again last weekend.

going for my first ride for nearly 11 weeks this weekend all going to plan :)

still pretty sore (mainly where they cut through the muscles and nerves on the front on my chest) but getting better everyday and after 7 weeks of being stuck with a non-healing broken bone i am pleased with every little improvement :)
 
My turn.

2 steroid injections AGAIN into my elbow yesterday. Don't think they've worked this time and right arm now paralysed until steroids "do their stuff".
Hips? Don't talk. Pilates for strength - bloody agony.

A*se from landing on my coccyx 2 weeks ago still hurts when I stand or sit.

Just moved to full livery - for my own health, hubby sulking at the cost!

Yep, Life is good.:rolleyes:
 
Fed up :(

Walking with a stick and am coloured a mucky blue purple colour after finding myself under a rather chunky ISH on Tuesday....

Can't drive and I get told off if I do too much!!

Get well soon everyone!!
K xx

ETA - my own horse is also broken now!!
 
I.m just old and stiff lol,

To all you poor injured people out there, get well soon. I think most of us take our health and mobility for granted untill it is taken away by injury or illness. ( Oh and I have had my fair share of injuries over the years)
 
Broken back. Three months on. Can't ride for another three months.

Back is lumpy - the muscles are sulking.

Physio has started, but I think I got a bit carried away :rolleyes:.

It's being a bit ouchy this evening, but compared to so many I'm very lucky :)

Gentle hugs to all people in pain.
 
I broke my ribs in a surfing accident in Cornwall back in August. I couldn't drive for ages and was off work for four weeks and went back on light duties. Now I'm about 90% okay unless a dog jumps up at me at work (I work in kennels) in which case I'm usually doubled over in pain! Can do heavy lifting and scrubbing but still can't sleep on the side where I broke my ribs as they still really hurt! Thankfully didn't have any operations to fix it but paramedics wouldn't x ray it as it's only a rib injury and the hospital was an hour away!
 
i broke my wrist ,cast off back at work and driving hoorah . broken horse tendon trouble doing well touch wood and being scanned next week and can hopefully have some proper turnout.
