Title: personal marathon
Post by: NTRebel on July 04, 2016, 09:51:43 PM
back home after being guest of honour at the drillers and knifers society now for my marathon to get myself ride fit again which is going to take a few visits to physio terrorist but hopefully I should be right just as the weather warms up.

Thanks guys I keep telling myself it had to be done but it doesn't make it any easier. Just have to trust the old adage of time heals all wounds only problem is a hospital has more patients than I have.
Title: Re: personal marathon
Post by: Kev Murphy on July 08, 2016, 08:38:35 PM
I know what you mean, Paul.. Doc retired me from work in June 2009, and booked me in at the hospital for right knee replacement, said that it would have to be done within 3 years.... I am still waiting... and the knee getting worse after 7 years on the waiting list.
Today is one of those bad days, where I am hobbling around with my walking stick, haven't been outside the door today.

Now, if I was a celebrity, or a football player, or such.... "Oh. Saturday afternoon ok?.. have you back on your feet by Monday..."

Yer, sure...

Well just got back from my third follow up and I can throw the brace in the bin proves there is a god. Go back late Sept and hopefully get the all clear to ride again. I should get the usb on it's way back to tomorrow as I also have to post the BS form back to the Gumbiment.

Took the beaST for a 200 hundred klm round trip to Stuarts Well this morning just to let her know I have'nt disowned her yet the knee went well no uncomfortable pain afterwards and supported the weight of the bike without too much trouble. I'm happy now and the next run will be to Erldunda and back probably next weekend. :dred11 :dred11 :dred11 :dred11

Great to see that your knee is coming along fine  :thumb

But it is only a FJR1300 so I may be able to take it for a spin for him  :grin

The surgeon told me 12 months from date of surgery the secreet is to get stuck into physio as early as possible before surgery so everything strengthens up beforehand that way it makes physio easier after surgery. :dred11 :dred11

IMHO it's the scarity of surgeons where you live that prevents you from finding one who'll clear you to ride but not for work.
I hope you'll be back on the bike in no time. It's too hot to ride now in any case.  :H

Update on marathon. day b4 Good Friday was diagnosed with non reducible hernia then yesterday have orthopaedic appointment and find out that while everything is good with my knee I now have severe arthritis in my hip ie bone on bone so more surgeries to put me out of action when the voices in my head tell me to put up or shut up so looks like a long stretch of riideless days for me.
Title: Re: personal marathon

Title: Re: personal marathon
Post by: Lionel on April 22, 2017, 04:19:14 PM
I'm thinking of you Paul. Apart from not being able to ride are you still able to get out and about?
And what are you doing about that 4-letter word, 'work'?
Title: Re: personal marathon
Post by: NTRebel on April 22, 2017, 04:50:55 PM
Yeah still getting out. Went back to work in January for 3 weeks but the pain  was that bad at least after yesterday I know why now so work's off the menu again but at least the insurance are still paying my loss of earnings. I'm going to try and force myself to one ride at the end of May to the Yongala RTE but not planning yet but I need to blow the cobwebs out b4 I decide on surgery.

Latest update I go under the knife again within the next 3 months for total hip replacement.I'm currently debating whether to sell the beast as she hasn't had a real ride for the last 12 months and it 'll probably be another 12 months now until she gets used for what she's meant to do. :dred11 :dred11 :dred11

Title: Re: personal marathon
Post by: Biggles on May 18, 2017, 08:43:36 PM
At the time we lived in a two storey house with 14 steps.  Before she left hospital, my wife was required to do workouts on the stairs.  For the first couple of days she had me beside her for confidence, but was soon sprinting up and down by herself.
So I'd recommend adding stairs to your physio regime.

Morning Fellow Members,

How time flies - 13 weeks post op YESTERDAY - QUADRUPLE BYPAS - Royal North Shore. Hospital - Open Heart Surgery.

All is better than the DATA BOX says I should be - almost all normal actions,

MUST allow time for proper healing.

All' s good ATM - looking forward to final OK Cardioligist and clearance - might be able to earn a few dollars again.

Looking forward to WOOLI in October - will be riding again by then.

Cheers to all and safe riding.

Thanks for upbeat encouragement bobster. Glad to hear your bypass went well.
As I'm a Chicken where needles are concerned I'm not looking forward to surgery but I'm looking forward to less pain  and being able to do stuff again once it's done.

Missus Biggles had hers done about 5 years ago and can highly recommend it.  She didn't have bad pain, so I reckon you'll pull through with needing anything too exotic.  Just get straight into the physio.  We lived in a 2 storey house and they wouldn't let her go home until she could walk up and down the hospital fire stairs.  She was doing a few day 2, home in less than a week.
