waiting to ride my Spyder

[peterRT]

Hi all", I have not ridden my Spyder for nearly 3 weeks due to my medical condition. I went to hospital and ended up having to have a bowel resection due to diverticilitis they took out 40 cm of my bowel and rejoined it. I got a scar from just above my lower groin up to jusy below my rib cage. I started the Spyder up a few days ago. I was told that I can not drive a car for 6 weeks so I got to stick with what Doctor says otherwise if I drive and have an accident I will not be covered by my insurance company. I am home and walking around doing very light lifting things. Just checking in

Regards Peter

I'm always very careful NOT to ask the Doc's how long before I can drive/ride again - if I do, they'll give me a specific & purely arbitrary time :banghead: But if I don't ask, then I can simply start doing things again when I feel up to it.... which is sometimes sooner than others might think is OK, sometimes later.... And if I ever have an accident (haven't yet tho, touch wood! ) I can truthfully say that no-one told me not to! hyea:

Orright, I will admit, it's usually sooner.... But in my defence, I do tend to work hard at the rehab & generally heal/recover better & far quicker'n most.... Besides, even the Doc's usually agree that I was well & truly up to it when they eventually find out what I've been up to after the fact.... altho I hafta say that when I mentioned the parachuting, he did suddenly go a juuust a lottle pale?!? :dontknow: :shocked: :roflblack:

That aside, Peter, glad to hear you're back on your feet, & here's hoping the healing/recovery process goes well! :thumbup: Sorry 'bout the ryding hiatus, but no matter how much they seem to drag on, those 6 weeks really won't be all that long in the overall scheme of things before you're able to get back out there & ryding again! hyea: And don't forget that checking in on the Forum frequently is a great way to vicariously feed your ryding habit/get a fix until you can fully satiate those cravings in real life! :yes:



Stay healthy, heal quickly, and you'll get your knees back in the breeze sooner than you can..... errr, I dunno, eat an ephalump maybe?! :dontknow:

:cheers:
