Out of Commission

[Engorgeous George 2,216]

Popped a bicep tendon in an arm that has had two elbow dislocations and an external fixature to put together an arm broken in eight spots bck in the day.  This was October.  Had surgery, recovered for two months and started working back hoping to be able to kayak and raft this summer.  Three weeks ago I felt another pop, a different pop.  It has been worthless since.  Got to see the surgeon this morning.  No new damage but advanced arthritis and some prominent bone spurs.  He gave me a steroid shot.  He thinks that will get me through the summer and maybe he removes the bones spurs in the fall.  He says two weeks.  This is new to me so we will see.  I would hate to miss a paddling season.

Nothing a few bottles of good bourbon can't get you through

Your mom enjoys a good paddling.

[TheNewGirl 1,400]

I hope you heal quickly. 

Had a cortisone shot in my shoulder a few years ago and it seemed to help, FWIW.

They usually work well and quickly in my experience. Hope you have a quick recovery!

And/or some other goodies. I'd send a care package but prefer to remain out of jail, so my well wishes will have to suffice for now.

[supermike80 1,851]

Oh BS.  You were furiously jerking off.   Quit trying to cover it up.

[Mike Honcho 5,193]

I thought you could only go blind.

Best wishes man!

WE do not want you to get incarcerated on my behalf.  The well wishes are appreciated though.

Well I did get fairly near-sighted.  Maybe I slowed down just in the nick of time.

I hope my shot works as well.

She's dead now but may have for all I know.  My wife enjoys one from time to time.

That sucks man. I am having non stop tendinitis in both elbows. I had to quit lifting which I cant stand not lifting. Even when I go back I will have to take it easy.

[Alias Detective 1,390]

Wiping arm?

I had to go back to ground zero in January after taking two months completely off.  I was just coming around and now this.  I figure instead of three to four arm days a week I will cut it to two, relatively light, and swim a bit instead.  I'm hoping that helps. (After I take the recommended two weeks off to let the shot do its work.)

 

My wife would go crazy if she had to take any time off from her daily six miles.  I work out, sort of, as a chore.  She is addicted.

I am not going to use that on my virgin 0-ring.  Maybe I can pay the kid next door to get after things with his super soaker filled with warm sudsy water.  I just hope his mother does not find the request "forward"  I don't want to find myself on one of those neighborhood alert maps.

That would work but I would risk losing my wife to an appliance.  I already think she unbalances the drier on purpose.

We do.  Now that you mention it the house my wife and I looked at this weekend has multiple shower heads, overhead, head height for me , head height for  a woman, and one around waste high.  I had not really given that much thought until now.

Couple swipes and right in the shower.  That’s your best solution.

If you have a million dollars handy I can point you to Steve Austin's medical team. They can rebuild you.

That sounds like too many arm days. I love HIIT. High intensity to train endurance. Ultimately there is no replacement for reps when you are doing something specific, but I find the studies linking wear on the body to number of reps compelling.
