How can i get my fix?

[Cindyloo]

Maybe you and Ian could get a "fix" together? Not quite the same as cycling but, oh well...

How much longer do the docs say? You have to listen to them so you get better.

How about some sort of water exercise?

One legged drills on a trainer?

Or maybe just let your body heal darn it! I know not what you wanted to hear.

I don't think you can swim because of your shoulder, you can't kick or water run because of the PCL.

I do really like the idea of on legged drills on the bike or even going to the gym to do exercises on the other side only. I know it sounds crazy but there is good research to show that exercising the non-injured side during recovery helps to slow the muscle loss on the injured side.

I'd also look into Pilates. You should be able to do a lot of the mat workouts with your brace on.

Maybe a virtual reality car racing game will get the adrenaline going?

I like how you think!
Are you that layed up still? Can you go for walks?
How about another stray cat running around your house? That seemed to get you going the other night.

mmm...virtual car racing, there's an idea!


Pilates is on the cards for the weekend. The studio i go to is looking forward to me returning

I was wondering about watching cycling events on dvd...???

I might be able to stand in a pool when the sling comes off..hopefully next week. I've been told that under no circumstances should i attempt to bend my right knee. The brace stays on for a month & have ian enforcing it. So, if i were to attempt to go to the pool, i'd have to use a pull buoy & be extremely careful

I've devised an idea about going to the beach-get some cardboard and the boys can pull me down the sand the set me at the waters edge!

No hokey pokey with my dear atm owie...

I can walk(dr ok'd) with the leg brace on at a snails pace and not very far atm..

I'm healing V..it's taking time

In the meantime, i get to drive you guys crazy!

Get a trailer for Ian's bike and make him pull you!

Play more scrabulous - it's riveting isn't it?

How about borrowing the neighbour kid's nintendo or whatever and playing games. I hate my son playing too much but when I sit down and start playing myself... It does get the heart rate up! hee hee..

Hugs to you CC - it must be frustrating...

We just set up a DOS computer out of old PC parts and have loaded old games onto it - Commander Keen, Duke Nukum, Supaplex, Wallpipe, Jazz JackRabbit... all good for getting adrenilin pumping.

My sons are fans of Motorcross Madness and other windows games that involve racing cars or motorbikes (I don't play them cause I can't drive in a straight line and I crash)

But I do like the idea of you sitting in Ian's trailer... you can have a loud-halier and a whip - that would up both your adrenilin levels...

[crazycanuck]

*snort* hhhaaaaaa hhaaaaa

I told ian about the chariot type idea and he's still laughing.

Remind me not to drink and read TE at the same time.

Oooh yes! You could probably pick up a plastic helmet somewhere, and some sandals. Ben Hur go home!

I remember Duke Nukum and Commander Keen (my daughters' games...)

* wonders if anyone realises Rave has been playing Commander Keen several times a week trying to pass all the levels she did when we got our first (DOS) comp...*

LOL, CC

We're on Planet Bike of course!
Anyway to get out via bike powered wheels is ok - even it it incorporates an Ian, a viking helmet, a whip and a toga!
