dislocated elbow

[lph]

woohoo! have now discovered that even though i can't bike, climb or swim for at least a month, i CAN:

- ride the stationary bike at work. boring, boring, boring, but i have company and can listen to the radio
- do situps, and stretch legs over my head like i usually do afterwards
- use the back trainer
- do light one-hand pulldowns and opposite lifts
- do squats

most anything that doesn't require two hands.

sounds trivial, but essential for my mental health, believe me. not only will i survive, i won't punch anyone in the meantime

ps. 24 HOURS!!!

Lph..I think you remember what I was like when i had my off & was dying to bike or something but couldn't.I too thought i'd go crazy! ..You will not go crazy..!!! Ok, perhaps a little but not totally crazy..

I know you have found out what you're able to do whilst your elbow's recovering BUT please be careful not to hurt anything else. Do what you can to not hurt anyone whilst off the bike.

Oh & it's totally ok to look at cyclists with sad puppy doggie eyes . (just don't start singing)

CC, what song would you sing (that you are not supposed to) while looking at other cyclists, with sad puppy dog eyes? Tokie

[crazycanuck]

I'd probably sing "Princes of the Universe"/" Spread your wings"/ " Ramble On"/ Kids Wanna Rock...

Thanks - I'll look into those songs for emergency backup singing songs! Tokie

hm, i was thinking more along the lines of a sorrowful face and "Motherless Child"...

Ouch! I only just now found this thread and learned what it was that has you typing one-handed. Scary! My ds is a boulderer. I see these spiderman pictures of him hanging from the ceiling of a cave and wonder how he stays up there. Now I know boulderers don't always stay up. I shudder to think

And then that wood-chopping accident as well with the firewood that jumped up and attacked your eye (must have been the other way around, right? wood-chopping before dislocation? or do you chop wood one-handed?) Anyway -- double ouch! Would a coffee break next time I'm in Oslo help distract you from the pain? I'll be there for two meetings Jan 28. One in Wergelandsveien and one up in Nydalen.
