"Now ski jump cliffs, do mid-air acrobatics, and thread your way through groves of trees at 40 mph!" I haven't looked up the injury rates for skiing vs. cycling. It might be interesting. -- - Frank Krygowski |

I will never be and that's ok. I just hope he doesn't take too many huge risks. My insurance agent almost died when he slipped up just a wee bit and smacked into a tree at full speed. A former co-worker ended up like Mark, broke his hip on the ski slope. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |

Broken hip
Well an update on the hip. Been 4 weeks since surgery feel like I am a
blessed deacon for sure. I resumed riding the indoor trainer after 4 days from surgery. I went to PT and they said I was doing all the exercises myself no need to see them. So my routine is to ride the trainer early morning instead of my usual running, which of course I cannot run. I can walk fine no real pain have not take any pain meds since leaving hospital after 2 days. Back working my usual gig after two weeks off. Riding the trainer cause no pain but I cannot get all the way in the drops only over the hoods. I have been riding 25 miles at about 21 mph average on the wind trainer. Sure I know it sounds boring but coming from where I did it is a great blessing. Saw the dr after 3 weeks said things are going well. Told me not to push through any pain but doing what I was doing is fine. I do these leg and hip raises the usual push ups and situps each day. Have not tried to really hammer the indoor trainer all sitting no out of saddle riding. I do not the the complete power to get up to about my max of 34mph but that is ok that would go beyond the dr recommendations. I still have a bit of a limp that does not hurt but I think I have learned to simply limp to walk. I have to work on that although not quite ready to keep at that since it does at times get a weird pain through top of thigh. I have to return to the dr in 6 weeks and we can see. My goal is to return to my usual running of 20-30 miles a week with a good long bike ride on weekends and when riding more I run less. My only issue is going back riding on the road is going be be scary. Any fall or crash could do the same thing or worse. I love the bike but I I crash running I am only going at the most 8-9 mph and more likely 6 mph. Running seems to be much safer from the big hurt problem but it does have it own pounding issues related to injury. I had to get better the wife is dealing with chemo after 5 years of cancer returning so I have to not be a burden. Will see how this goes but so far thanking the Big Fellow who put us all here. This is probably a boring post but some here did give some insight. Deacon Mark Cleary Epiphany Roman Catholic Church "mark cleary" wrote in message ... Ok not a direct bike question but anyone here recover from broken hip. I hit monday out on the ice stupid me. It was at the top of the hip across the ball. They put in 3 screws and that went pretty good but had to go home with a foley Catheter. I could not get a stream to flow the old BPH was no helping. This is really a pain and I sure hope the old system to get rid of pee will be able to come back this is not good. Now I have the fear going back to the bike any of you guys deal with this. I am runner too that is my primary but will have to just see how that goes. Deacon Mark Cleary Epiphany Roman Catholic Church |

Running seems to be much safer from the big hurt problem but it does have it own pounding issues related to injury. Not sure if fall training would help. I learned how to roll in parachuting school. There they show you how to tough out a bad landing without exerting too much force into bones and joints. Generally the trick is to transform a half second high force deceleration onto one of several seconds but with lesser force. I just don't know where that's taught other than in parachuting ground school and there they only teach approaches and landings. But it's helped me a few times during "involuntary bike dismounts". One was at over 20mph on singletrack. Haven't crashed in over a year. I ride a little more cautious after that 20mph crash. That one could have gone horribly wrong if it had happened a couple of miles earlier. I had to get better the wife is dealing with chemo after 5 years of cancer returning so I have to not be a burden. Will see how this goes but so far thanking the Big Fellow who put us all here. This is probably a boring post but some here did give some insight. I'll be praying for you guys, especially for your wife. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |

You could get a BSO that won't let you go any faster than ten mph. I can't leave the village on my step-through bike, but it allowed me to go everywhere I normally walk while my knee was healing. I try to remember to climb up to the tower room every time I go to the church. When a bike tour stopped a Howe's Cavern, I learned that walking down stairs uses exactly the same muscles as cycling up hills. -- joy beeson at comcast dot net http://wlweather.net/PAGEJOY/ The above message is a Usenet post.
