bed bound for the last 6 weeks!

CC back Chris.

When I was first limited in my training from injury I thought it'd be study catch up time. In reality I was so annoyed at being injured I was LESS productive with my study. I spent all my time googling injury websites instead

Hope you find a way to relax more than I did - all the anger and self pity I had was a waste of energy. I think your injury sounds more severe than mine too. Good on you for being so mature in the way you seem to be coping

[Chris Nagel]

Wow, I can imagine you doing that Sharla, and it'll probably be a while before you're back at it full throttle again. How's that stuborn knee and ankle treating you these days?

Anyways back to music, you still have a sense of humor if you're talking about bigger wrists, you gotta keep anything like that up so you don't feel like a vegetable. Just keep the hardcore stuff on the d/l.

Never had a problem with the ankle - it's the knee and back. Can't run on hard roads but can on grass and still not skipping but am back 100 % in every other way. Still get back pain from time to time but it's under control. I've found building a bit more back muscle and stretching has made life easier.

[Chris Nagel]

That's great Sharla, I'm glad to hear that you have it under control. At least you're able to learn from your injuries, kind of like a blessing in disguise maybe.

[Sharla]

Hopefully

[Chris Nagel]

The proof of the pudding will be that you'll be able to do all the things that you want to do with all the right things to keep in mind.

[Sharla]

That's definately what we all aim for!

[Chris Nagel]

It's called wisdom Sharla.


Hah, that kind of sounds like something Scrap would say right now.

[Trainer Monkey]

We all have to come back from injuries
You know what the seperation is?
Coming back
Good on anyone who can find their way back

[Sharla]

Too true CC Monkey

I never thought I'd get injured until it happened. Very easy for anyone not to know until it's too late that you've been doing something wrong.

i have found out i will need physio 3 times a week for about a month or so after the pot is off. does anyone know what this will involve? i cant see how they can teach me anything i dont already know about walking, i have been doing it the past 22 years

[Sharla]

I went to the physio for my knee but the treatment is obviously different.

I went once a week max but often rescheduled and ended up doing it every 2 weeks - i couldn't really afford more than that.

I hope you're covered well with private health insurance - 3 visits a week sounds expensive.

I went until I had a clear diagnosis of what the problem was and then stopped going since then I figured I knew pretty much what to do and didn't need the continual check ups.

I'd probably go a lot to begin with and then judge how much you need the appointments after a month or so perhaps?

[themusic]

not got any insurance it will be on the good old NHS

[Sharla]

I needed to go to the physio often until they worked out what was wrong and what to do about it - then I used my own judgement to decide how much I really needed.

When it got to the stage where most of my appointments were just check ups and I was just doing exercises they gave me to do at home alone I had fewer appointments.

For me it was really expensive the first few months and then eased off. Hopefully you can do the same perhaps?

[themusic]

iv already started to ease a bit of weight on the foot, just the weight of my leg while im sat down, coz im off on hol in 5 weeks and i dont need the hassle of physio and walking round with a tripod, when i cud be in the gym i dont want to be walkin round on hol with a mr bean body.
