claudine
curious plates and screws and sk8n
thanks Robert, makes me feel better. i spoke to wild Bill cause i'm dying, really dying to sk8 and wanted to find out how much it would cost to hopefully protect myself better if its possible. i emailed him the pic of the plate and screws. its 6 large screws. he mentioned how its may be easy to break the bone at the end of the plate with screws in now and to ask my dr. first. so i will be staight up w/ my dr now. i told him i just fell into a pool since the guy i was dating told me not to mention sk8n but i told my knee dr. about it and hes going to get my knee braces (by insurance) so i dont reinjure him. maybe my arm dr. can make a forearm brace so it will support it even more instead. i dont think its a big deal to tell ortho specialists. they deal w/ athletes. i will ask him questions now. i've gotta sk8 again. not ready to stop living. hopefully this will be my one bad injury and i can now move on, just more carefully. some of my friends think im totally nuts to ever sk8 again. i just feel dead not sk8n.

: Claudine, I have a metal pin in my elbow and the doctor who did the surgery said that I might want to have it taken out in the future. He made it sound like a very light precedure, but I am leaving it in as long as I don't find out it needs to come out. I found breaking my elbow made me so worried for so long, but in reality, it was my first broken bone in 39 years. I would not worry about it right now and just focus on healing. Think of all the football players, pro skaters and all the other althetes that have broken many bones. They keep going and I am sure you will too. When you are ready, just go out and have fun and don't push it too hard. My elbow break was a total fluke. I used to never fall on my elbow. If you are going to worry, then you might as well worry about any other injury you could get with any other bone. Shit, you can worry about crossing the street. lol It's tough, but you will come back strong.

: : i was told that some people cant sk8 after plates, screws and rods. i'm worried, i want to sk8 again! i will talk to dr. now and see what he says. i am worried that now where the screws are could break easily. but i want to sk8. i am not sure what i would do if he says i can never sk8 again. i read this on it:

on no, poor Harry! no kilos here, i''ve literally got an empty fridge right now and panic about not getting the letter yet about my rent going down, plus car insurance bill just came and not sure what i can afford. hunting out for weeds and wild greens for my bunnies and piggies so i can sleep at night. they have dried food but are spoiled and will whine and cry if no treats lol. just gross canned food for me now, it sucks.

but my leg is about all better. i musta walked 4 hrs yesterday and barely any pain so least that is healing. i get no sympathy for my injuries from family and friends that know i sk8 since its my own fault, caused them myself. its a stupid thing to do. i'm too old, thin, small, etc. for this blah blah fuckin blah. so i will get even more flack when i return. i wont say anything but gotta keep myself from injury to hide it well. oh well, one day i will move to a place where insurance is cheap, bills are easier to pay and people accept me for me, even if it means sk8n w/ braces, bolts and plates. i miss it terribly! in oct. i will start longboarding again, or running or something. might start painting today....

claudine: probably how i fell (22. Sep. 2008 16:20)
 ok, sorry to dwell on it but want not to go down this road again and break my arm. i dont think anything could prevented this but maybe tuck and roll? this is how i landed but it was a vert bowl. its at the last 3 secs the fall. looked on youtube, lots of broken arms, mostly rails so i dont do those thankfully.

claudine: good news! (23. Sep. 2008 17:49)
 my PT told me today that after it fully HEALS, my arm should be just as strong and there is no reason why I cant enjoy feeling like a superhero again. :-D I am lucky, he is supportive and got to do fun balancing exercises today. i showed him pics of me sk8n and he is helping me so i dont mess up my knees too. so it may take 6 months to heal, i donno, but i WILL sk8 vert again!! :-D

LeeY: probably how i fell (6. Oct. 2008 21:59)
 Sorry - not posted for a silly amount of time. The wife had twins, so have been a bit busy for the last couple of years. Bernhard - I will send you some more scans soon - I promise!
Just thought I'd put in my bit on the subject of pins etc - I have a plate in my right ankle after a fibula fracture at Southsea park in 89 - the doctors told me no more skating etc, but I carried on for a few years more, though I would stop whenever I felt any discomfort. I would strap my ankle up - more for a sense of security than anything else. Its just a matter of being sensible - the medics are only going to offer advice that is within their professional liabilties. At the moment though my skating is limited chasing my kids around the road - its easier than running....
I also remember a story that Andy Peerless has had hip replacement as a result of the hard concrete slams he used to sustain at Rom skatepark - as far as I know he still rips.

 Hi Lee,

I am so happy to have some news from you. And then that! Twins! Congratulations, this is a crazy thing. You must be very proud.

I'm not happy about Andy Peerless having a hip replacement. Must have been a very hard time for him. After two injuries in the last three years I got just a glimpse of what this means. Take care, your family needs you! And hopefully keep having fun with your skates but just don't get hurt again, please!
