One week down after ITB surgery
Quote | Reply
Hey all-
Just wanted to give an update- surgery went well for my ITB and scope with the doc saying it was the most "narley" ITB he has ever seen. Stitches out and almost full ROM although I still walk funny and instead of using my one crutch I use my Kids heads instead as they walk beside me Amy CO can verify this!! Say Andy Pruitt again today with my surgeon and when I asked the prognosis of running he said that if I didn't I "would be the first" who didn't run after. Sooooo- now I can start to easy spin, no swimming until next week. Feel like I am handling a piece of China afraid it will break so I need to be careful. You don't realize how much you love the sport until you can't do it. Therapy tomorrow and we will just start plugging along. What is the quote I heard the other day "Brick walls are put up in front of you to see how bad you want something" So there you go!!

Thank you all for your well wishes going into surgery- now lets see what happens. Those of you racing soon or training- have a great time and truly enjoy it!!

That will take atleast a thousand dollars in pscyhe appts to get my head not afraid but lets see how walking goes and then maybe that will give me more confidence. Cross your fingers!

I'm glad to hear it went well, I've been wondering about you.

It sounds like running is in your near future and that's great!

That's an awesome prognosis, and it's totally cool that you have Andy Pruitt as a doc. He's a freakin' legend!

Dig the kid's head crutch, too. :P

Glad to hear it went well, I hope you're running again happily in no time. I have been reading lots about it, and suffering away with the same darned injury, keep us posted on your recovery?

Take care, enjoy those easy spins.
