20110208 Update on Jobst
On 2/8/2011 1:32 PM, Brad Anders wrote:
I have been indirectly receiving updates from Olaf, Jobst's son. My intent here is to preserve Jobst's privacy while letting those on Usenet who have interacted with him for 20+ years know how he's doing. Jobst is still in Stanford's Intermediate ICU. While his condition is stable, Jobst has had a difficult time recovering from his accident. His alertness and lucidity aren't where they should be, and the team at Stanford and Jobst's family are working hard to address these problems. He is also slowly making progress in recovering from his physical injuries. If you're a friend of Jobst's, have ridden with him in the past, and are local to Stanford, please consider stopping by to say hello. Jobst has received many visitors and Olaf says the visits have helped Jobst immensely. I suggest you call Stanford first and check on if Jobst is receiving visitors before you stop by. I also ask for some respect for Jobst and his family, please keep the discussion on Jobst and his accident civil. Hopefully, a future update will be a ride report from Jobst. -- Tºm Shermªn - 42.435731,-83.985007 I am a vehicular cyclist. |

In my limited experience with people in ICUs and CCUs, there's sometimes a sort of hospital disorientation effect. People can make significant progress in recovering lucidity so that is to be hoped for, esp. when they can move him out of the ICU. Yep. That and a broken femur can't be easy to take for someone who truly loves to Ride Bike. (I for one was never too lucid to begin with, so there you go :-) Whole lotta love out here, Jobst. Still sending those vibes your way. Pull through. |

A femur fracture lands you in a full length cast. Jobst will have to do some one-leg trainer riding, which is surprisingly hard to do -- you have to figure out where to put the other leg.

I once rode a last part of a ride effectively one-legged due to knee pain. Foot retention is a must, and it is slow going - I was almost passed by a hand-cyclist. -- Tºm Shermªn - 42.435731,-83.985007 I am a vehicular cyclist. |

Depending on the type of fracture, he may not need a cast. I had a mid shaft femur fracture (from football, not cycling) and I didn't get a cast or even a brace. I had a nail put through the femur and clamped to the top of the hip. I remember asking my doctor something like "are you sure I don't need a cast?" He said it wasn't necessary. I actually stood on the leg 48 hours after having the surgery. The biggest issue was getting the range of motion back. I think it was about three months before I could touch my heel to my butt. I was able to ride the stationary bike after a few weeks. Peter. |
