ok, how long?
I'm a big fan of STRETCHING.....everyone....STRETCHING.
Animals stretch all the time, many times a day....if nothing else, stretch and keep flexible and limber, even if you sit on your arse all day...get up and stretch. OK, nuff said, plus I agree with Bernhard and Jay. okay, I'm done. g-nite.

: : thanx, tomorrow i see the knee dr. and will ask if i can do PT because between the knee, arm and hip, ive been unable to do anything. and i lose muscle so quick. and chocolate sends me bouncing off the walls lol. im sure doing laundry up 2 flights of stairs doesnt help. hot bath just now feels good tho! sorry, i have too much energy and time.
: :
: : : : well im asking this week lol! i feel ok, so its odd to be doing nothing when many times i sk8ed in pain. all this sitting is driving me nuts so ive been up and about, so now since i lost all my muscles my low back aches a touch lol. i need to move and do something.

: : : Claudine, you need to exercise to rebuild your muscles! But you also need to not endanger your bones while they aren't back to their strength and while you don't have muscles to protect them. Therefore you need to be careful. Do nothing what your doctors don't allow you. But by all means, do what is allowed to you to regain strength.

: I TOTALLY agree with Bernard here. As much as I know you want to get back out there, you can't do it at the unneccessary expense of your body. That's not a good plan ever. Take your time, get your strength up. Build muscle, get your reflexes back. That all takes time. Different amounts for different people, but it always takes time.
: Get Well. Good Luck with the Dr....

 i can walk and squat onto my knees w/out putting my hands down and sit comfortably on my heels and then stand up again hands free. so same movement as sliding low on my knee pads. of course, cast up lol! w/in 2 weeks, legitimately my hip is healed. would a little spin w/ the old folks at the rink be so bad lol? i know, im so freakin annoying. cant help it if i miss my sk8s obsessively so.... i have no idea after a bone is "healed" be4 its really healed. if u wanna ignore me, i totally understand. i have days where i struggle remembering what patience is.

 You could ask your doctor, but then you know what he would say. If you don't fall, then you should be ok. I guess you need to ask yourself if it is worth the risk? I personally am a big whoose.

Claudine,
I TOTALLY agree with Bernard here. As much as I know you want to get back out there, you can't do it at the unneccessary expense of your body. That's not a good plan ever. Take your time, get your strength up. Build muscle, get your reflexes back. That all takes time. Different amounts for different people, but it always takes time.
Get Well. Good Luck with the Dr....

 stretching would feel awesome on my arm if only it wasnt encased lol.

saw knee doc. seems like my right knee was just tendonitis. so at least knees/hips i will be able to go back to full activity, no problems. i will call tomorrow to see if insurance is for each body part or what. if so i can start PT for knee, if not i can start doing same exercises i remember at home. good, i need to burn off energy! also today my low back doesnt ache. must be an old age thing lol.

more stretching. doc said no snowboarding, no unicycling, sk8n, and everything else fun in the world, not yet but later.

good news is that SOON i can ride a regular bike outside. hopefully soon is like a couple weeks lol. im so jealous of u guys, have fun for me!

 I know everyone is saying to do what the doctors tell you. In fact, I am very careful when it comes to healing. I took two years off the last time I hurt my knee with two #1 tears in two knee ligaments. I waited till I felt it was strong enough before skating again.

With that said, I do not always think doctors are always right. They never agree with any homeopathic assistance. They would tell you to never agro skate if you would listen! And people do not always heal at the same rates. In my opinion, there is a lot of value in healing through 'doing'.

In doing, I mean getting back into skating. But, keep in mind that your body is healing from some serious trauma. Start back into skating as if you never knew how! Start out retraining, and rebuilding, your muscles by getting the basics down first. Skate a big flat open area with no obstacles - not a rink loaded with people. Wear pads, and only do the basics to start. I would say you should do this until you can go all directions, and do foot over foot through curves, without any physical problems before doing anything more serious.

I would also suggest supplements for your bones and muscles. Calcium, chondroitin, glucosamine, MSM, bromine, etc.. Anything and everything that doesn't hurt you, but can only help you, is worth checking into.

Besides skating, of course, do strengthening exercises and stretches. Go slow, be careful, and good healing!!

Cheers!
Biff
