    Default More surgery

    Home from the hospital after the second, and more extensive, operation on my ankle Friday. I'll be non weight bearing for at least three full months, so no riding until fall at the earliest. Hope this one works out better!

    Ouch...
    Keeping that ankle "non-load bearing" really stinks... I've been through it a couple of times also...
    Heal quickly and completely, and you'll be back on the bike soon!

    It just won't feel as if it's soon enough...

    But surely sitting on the seat of the Spyder would mean that your ankle's not 'weight bearing'?? You just gotta read between the lines on these things.

    Hope per you get thru it all successfully & back on the Spyder with a 'full & complete' recovery as soon as you can.

    As much as I'd like to agree with you: I can't.
    If they say "no weight": that's exactly what they mean.
    I played fast and loose with "no weight" once, and it took me two years to heal up.
    The second time, I played it straight. I was back on my feet in eleven Months...
    It still sucked... but it sucked a heckuva lot less!

    For the record, a collapsible crutch / walking cane fits nicely in the frunk. BTDT. As soon as the doc cleared me for a walking cast I was headed to the garage with my keys.

    Heal fast and don't skip the physio.

    By the time your ankle can hopefully be weight bearing, the temps in Florida should be cooling off. Heal quickly and listen to your doctor...

    Here's hoping that you heal as quickly as possible and that all goes well in the end.

    ...and that by this fall you'll be dong this...

    I'm not going to feel sorry for you, I'm to busy feeling sorry for myself.


    Thumb surgery four weeks ago and one day after the stitches were out neck surgery. Ten stitches still in

    as I write this.

    You gotta be tough to get old. Right!

    PS Hope your feeling better.

    You must be real upset. You're going to be out of handball action for awhile after neck surgery.

    Good luck and heal well to both you guys.

    You are so right. I think I miss handball more than riding. It's like having a full time head shrink. Keeps

    me somewhat civilized and socially acceptable. IMOO



    Thanks,
