Back from The othropedist
I have the sling off, and can do everything but heavy lifting , and riding the bike(Darn!). Follow up in 3 weeks
I thought about doing the gym, but didn't want to get into any long term commitments, particlurlay since I can ride outside year around (I live about 40 miles east of Los Angeles.)

Aw damn - I hope you're not in too much pain and I hope it's not too annoying!!
I have just recently recovered from a recent stack that resulted in a fractured head of radius (one of your bones in your forearm. The fracture was just near the elbow). It's been 6 weeks for me, but I felt pretty good about it after 2-3 weeks. I even started riding after 2 weeks (against medical orders, but hey!!). I'm an OT so I did my own therapy, so that saved a lot of time in physio bills!
Anyway, I hope you recover well! And all I can recommend is to get back on the bike as soon as you're able!

Fredwina, that's great! Have you gone for a ride since you got the good news? Bet you are chomping at the bit to get back out... I crashed in mid-August, about the same time you did, and it has been just within the past week or so that I have been riding again. Feels great to be out in the fresh air. Only thing that stinks is I lost all my cardio ability, and my legs hate me. But compared to sitting at home, I'll take starting over any time! I wish you the best of luck, and I hope you find yourself close to the 1000 mile lead again soon!

Hey Fredwina -
That's great that you will be back on the bike again and that you don't need PT...i'm guessing my broken bone may have been a tad worse than yours. i still don't have full motion outward toward the side and still have some pain if i move the wrong way - but it is getting better every day. i started PT but i can only do stretches....and even some of the stretches they want me to do, i can't because i can't move in that direction yet...the strengthening starts in another week. getting back on the bike will probably take another couple weeks....
but i'm getting there...just takes time and patience ; )
enjoy the riding! hoping to be back out there by mid october - at least i'll make it out there before the first snowfall (even if the last ride i did was in the summertime)

I'm back.....
Hey all -
Thanks for all the war wound stories....seems that i got away lucky not needing the surgery! I had my 8 week post accident followup this week and I was cleared to get back on the bike! Went for my first ride on Saturday!! Yeah!!!! I'm a bit out of shape 8 weeks later - but still felt great to get back out there again! My shoulder does get sore from time to time and my range of motion isnt quite 100% but the doctor seemed to think this was all normal and said it would probably be around thanksgiving time before i felt 100%...But he said it would take something major to disrupt the healing at this point so i could return to a normal routine and just not lift anything ridiculously heavy. I've been doing the PT faithfully! Some of the stuff makes me sore...but i guess that's normal....and my range of motion seems pretty good - so it seems i'm on the mend!! yippeeee : ) Thanks for all the shared thoughts and experiences - good to hear others stories!
Stay well!!!

Sorry for the tangent here but....
GrandPrix - how is my favorite city EVAH (Boston) now that the big dig is complete?? Has traffic changed dramatically?? Are the streets actually safe now..... as in everyone stays in their own lanes and are curteous to other drivers??
hehe

hahahaha - i don't think the big dig will EVER be finished! some routes are done and have helped with traffic but many are still being worked on and there are random road closings at odd hours of the day - so you find yourself stuck in traffic jams at 10PM or 2AM now... ; ) one of these days it will be done i hope ; )
