TT Injured Reserve List

“Can't say that I have. Bummage though, get better soon.”

“welcome aboard. we can keep each other company for awhile
feel better

mapleleaf”

“No, but I did something similiar to that last year skiing. It was about 2 months before my wedding...I swear a co-worker jinxed me. He kept saying you shouldn't go skiing, you may get hurt...it's too close to your wedding...well I assured him I'd be alright. NOT!!! I swear it was all his fault.

So what happened? First run down an expert trail I'd done before, lost control and took this really weird fall. Almost head over heals, a$$ over tea kettle, there I go, pulled my left calf muscle and had to be towed down the hill by the ski patrol with my fiance at the time(UK), daughter, and her fiance following behind. My son-in-law just HAD to take a picture(wanted to kill him).

Anyway getting off the subject, it felt like a really bad charie horse that wouldn't stop. Turned all kinds of pretty colors. With the help of a great physical therapist, walked normally down the aisle just in time for the wedding and honeymoon. Physical therapy is the best for stuff like that. To this day I only get an occasional reminder of that.”

“Sorry to hear about your health problems. Hope you feel better soon. I am also rethinking the Colorado trip, but for other reasons. I hope we can hike together some day. Do you have another trip planned?”

“I love happy endings.”

“good luck your recovery....


look at the bright side...at least you didn't get a laceration from a banana chip...”

“Gemini told me to come here and entered my injury. Last Sat her and I went hiking in the rocky Linville Gorge area with snow on the ground.. I sliped and feel on my bum...my right arm hit a rock that kept me on the ground for a bit.. Here is is Thurs. and I bumped the same arm last night ouch!! So I have a shiner about as big as my fist on right above my elbow..”

“clem, ya got a shiner on your bum too?

Skeetah bait, I wanna see the picture!”

“yow.

Get well soon everyone!”

“Tom....no @$*way!!!! He's got another picture from a ski trip I wanna rip up too....BTW not from getting hurt....”

“he he.....face plant?”

“Hey, get better soonest, folks!”

“good thing the insurance company doesnt know about this place...

get better soon, spring is only a few more weeks...”

“Heal quickly all of you. It's good to be visiting this list and not parked on it.”

“Just when I'm almost healed, something else breaks! It's like owning a used car!”

“Tilt, I can tell ya from experience, stop asking what can go wrong next. God has a wierd sense of humor and she plays rough!”

“Recovering from a Hernia repair on Tuesday. It's been there for a few years and finally decided to do something about it.

OUCH...I can't believe I elected to do this!”

“Yikes!!! Good luck with a quick recovery!”

“Thanks Tango. I've been putting it off for a while. Should be able to go hiking by the end of March...although I don't feel like it now!”

“Well i tryed to leave the house to go to a gear store and it just aint happenen!!!!!!!

i sat in the van w/ an aweful pain comin from the back. so i tryed laying flat in the back on the floor, shhh and that aint happenen either. so i guess im stuck on the bed for several more weeks.

man does it ever end?”

“Sounds bad, Prowler. I hope you feel better soon!”

“You've really got to do NOTHING. Ruptured discs are one of the worst. I just hope you're not one of the 7% like my Mom who develops really bad scar tissue after the surgery. She had to have a 2nd procedure. THe docs thought it was from moving around too early, before things had healed properly. Just tske it easy for as long as possible.”

“how early was she up and moving around.
there was so much scar tissue built up on my disc area, they told my wife i should have done it years ago. id say, i had off/on hip & leg pain for 3 yrs.

its hard to trust doctors..”

“ive been in sorta like a denile (spelling)its making me sick, thats why i disapeared for a bit.”

“Hope everyone gets better soon. Prowler, what were your first symptoms?”

“The second time around we wouldn't even let her go downstairs for three weeks. SHe didn't go outside for a month, and I did all lifting, shopping and errands for almost 3. When she'd get a checkup call from the docs office, I'd talk to them instead, giving them my observations. SHe was supposed to do swimming exercises after several months, but she never did them. It's why her back is still weak.”

“my first symptoms where hip pain, both legs had a solid weeknessing pain, then ft, went into groin?, lower back other hip. it goes on & on.

getting better but need to take it easier.”

“get well soon prowler!”

“Wow! That's a lot of pain... Must be hard to think outside your skin in times like that. I feel for ya, man.

Get better soon!”

“What movie was that where John Wayne's character had his back broken? It was a WWII flick. Anyone remember?”

“Good luck to you all.. yikes!”

“Was it The Wings of Eagles?”

“i went to the doc for the first time since surgery. and im so relieved, they told me i need to start walking 2 miles a day outside or if weather is bad the mall. o gawd, will i become a mall walker?? stay tuned.

now to get back to opushing the mileage is awesome. Im on a comeback.........o ya I have some new meds............hehe”

“What meds did they give you this time?”

“sounds like justification to buy a new treadmill or stairmaster :)”

“Good to hear you're doing good Prowl-man. Yeah, I can't bring myself to walk in the mall unless I'm shopping, in which case I get what I need and then get the hell out.”

“no shyat GEO, im staying way far from a mall thow. ill come home broke every time.

bobo i just sold both my treadmills 2 weeks before the op!! DOH!

i can get a treadmill anytime anyway, but id rather WALK outside.”

“Hate to bring this thread back up, but I have a new injury to report. My wife Amy works for a veterinarian. She was helping with an emergency delivery of a calf last nightand slipped and fell off a cattle trailer. She said the pain was so bad that she immediately passed out then puked!

Initial x-rays show a small crack in the fibula, but it appears the main damage may be in the knee. We're going to the orthopedic surgeon this morning for MRI. She says it feels like when she blew her other knee out in college. Yikes!

We were supposed to go hiking tomorrow. :( Looks like that will be out of the question for awhile.

I'm hoping for good news from the orthopedic surgeon.”

“My best wishes for a speedy recovery for your wife. Hope she doesn't go through too much pain...”

“My best wishes for a speedy recovery for your wife. Hope she doesn't go through too much pain...”

“I'm sorry Indiana John. Your wife's job isn't an easy one, and an injury like this is probably quite a bummer to her for a lot of reasons, hiking being one, and working being another one. I hope the news from the doctor is positive and she heals up fast.”

“ow!... best of luck to ya.”

“Ouch and double ouch! She certainly has my sympathy. I'm finally getting out for walks after my convalescence and nasty winter weather. But she will recover. Hope the damage is minimal and she heals quickly.”

“Best of luck to your wife, Indiana John. All I can say, when she's ready is physical therapy, it works wonders.”

“Like treebeard, I wish your wife a doubly speedy recovery!”

“Knees are scarey! Hope she's OK!”

“OH man John...it hurt me to read the report. Hope the news isn't bad..let us know.”

“OK, bad news. Amy saw the orthopedic surgeon Friday. Torn ACL and MCL. It's all gone. She's looking at full reconstructive surgury in 10 to 14 days, then 4-6 months recovery time with no driving or working!!

OK, get this, on the same day we find all this out, we also find out we're pregnant. Been trying for a year now. WOW!! We had the test because we didn't want to risk x-rays if she was.

Looks like my summer plans have changed!! What a weekend.”

“OMG, John. You two are a living testament to how life can change in a matter of one day (or less). I really wish you all the best. Dealing with this and pregancy at the same time is going to be challenging, to put it mildly. Stay strong and all my positive vibes are with you guys...”

“Bless both your hearts.
Hugs to all and I hope all goes well. Is this your first baby?”
