rgoper 0 #1 July 20, 2003 i'm going in for surgery on my left knee tuesday. i have little if any cartkidge left in the joint, and may wind up having a knee replacement surgery. my doc says 3-4 week rehab, i say BS! i'm a licensed personal fitness trainer and i own all of my own equipment, and i believe i can do it in less than a week. although i won't be able to jump, i'll still be around to visit drop zones in my area. please send vibes, i need them, this is scary stuff. thanks.--Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know that Fit PPL can heal faster but dont OVERdo it. I had a friend who was in a car wreck. she was and is again a gym (straight) teacher. they told her she'll never walk again! she was back to running in 6 months! then she got pregnant...and continued to run until about 7 months.

SkyAnt 0 #8 July 20, 2003 Let us know how it goes. I have a dodgy knee myself. It's become allot worse since I got back into Skydiving. Not from my landings. Just because I have not been to the gym in 6 months. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."

katiebear21 0 #10 July 20, 2003 Back in '91 I had my right knee scoped and they cleaned up a lot of cartilage due to a lateral meniscus tear. I played my first b-ball game exactly two weeks after the surgery; however, I continued to swell and had to take several cortizone shots in the months to follow to help reduce the swelling and the pain. It still hurts everyday! I always wonder if I had given myself the proper recovery time if I'd still always be hurting. Don't be in too big of a rush to get back up but I'm sure they've come a long way in the last 12 years! Good luck!

moodyskydiver 0 #14 July 20, 2003 (((((Good vibes Richard!))))) Take care of yourself but don't over do it.Its easier to take enough time now and let things properly heal than to live with potential probs resulting from not enough down time.

rgoper 0 #15 July 21, 2003 thanks for the support everyone. i am dreading this surgery, i hate "going under" being sedated before operation...YICH! i also want to take this opportunity to send out good vibes and positive energy to all of those who need it more than i do. i have been roadbiling 25-30 miles per day which is the only reason i believe i'll rehab quicker than most. maybe i'm being overly optimistic but i'm an optimist anyway so i believe i'll be sky diving in 2 weeks! or NOT? again, thanks you guys/gals. peace be unto each one of you.--Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
