THR Charlie's RTHR Recovery Thread
Hey, you! Wanted to stop by and crack a beer and read your thread. I always learn something - my PT warned me against repetitive motion and locking into one form of exercise and here you are, saying variety is key. I have found this to be very true - my first time incorporating an elliptical...- thepuckhead

THR A New Ride Begins - The Puckhead's recovery

THR A New Ride Begins - The Puckhead's recovery
Helllllooooooo!! Checking in for my one year (no, I can't really believe it either) post-THR update! And I found Cher on my thread. CHER! How fantastic is that? First things first: I can assure anyone thinking of watching Falcon Crest that watching all the way to the bitter end is an...- thepuckhead

THR A New Ride Begins - The Puckhead's recovery
Holy moly, @Charlie33 --that is one legendary highlight reel! I think a new stick is definitely in order so I can practice doing moves just like that, LOL! Oh, yes, the smell of cold zamboni chemicals is like no other. It's partly why I kept going to the walking track that went around an arena...- thepuckhead

THR LaKarune's Journey Back to the Dance Floor - Recovery Thread
As someone who suffered from sciatica (not hip related- was many many moons ago), I can offer some reassurance that, at least in my experience, sciatica is pretty unmistakable. Nerve pain tends to radiate or travel instead of a throbbing in one particular spot. It also tends to be constant. Also...- thepuckhead

THR Finally! Left Hip Anterior Recovery
The first steps, on a walker, in a surgery center with a view of the parking lot, will always be one of the most wondrous walks I will take in my life. :yes:- thepuckhead

THR April 12 - Second THR
Ha - I was crabby about going back to work before I had finished all nine seasons of Falcon Crest. I thought, 'well, now that I'm not so anxiety ridden, I could really use the time to just finish this show instead of watching an ep over lunch like a normal working stiff! A few weeks ago, I was...- thepuckhead

THR A New Ride Begins - The Puckhead's recovery
OK, so I've lost count of how many weeks it's been since surgery, so there's that indicator of progress, but also just wanted to pop by quick and say... ....I cannot believe this.... ...never thought this would happen.... ....you guys.....hold on...I hope you are sitting down.... ...deep...- thepuckhead

THR LaKarune's Journey Back to the Dance Floor - Recovery Thread
If I'm remembering correctly, you had Exparel injected into the hip joint during surgery? I also had this and was sweating bullets as t-minus 78 hours loomed and it was due to wear off, as well as any of the other pain relief I may have had from surgery that was clearing my system. I'd been told...- thepuckhead

Hiya, fellow data geek! I use a plain old timer/lap counter when I walk on the walking track. Not because I care one iota about how far I walk or how fast I walk, but because, like you, it's very helpful information to have. Having an idea of how far I can go before I start to fatigue/get...- thepuckhead

THR A New Ride Begins - The Puckhead's recovery
@cold_brew - at the moment, I am looking at options for compression shorts that come with hip protection as well as considering whether I want to look at new breezers that may have more protection. Obviously breezers are a bit much for inline skating, but I have found a number of options...- thepuckhead

THR Merrimay's on the other side now THR
@Merrimay - I am so very sorry to hear of the new development and I hope there are promising treatment options for you. Your story is definitely a shining example of how to be your own best advocate and resiliency. I hate MRIs, too. I have asthma and it can be hard to breathe if I'm lying on...- thepuckhead

THR RedbirdFL's Recovery Thread
Oh, gotcha, @RedbirdFL - funny, I immediately thought cardinal but then wondered if they were that far south. They are named "northern" cardinals, so I didn't know what they considered "north," LOL! Despite our rotten spring so far, we just saw our first warbler trying to eat some suet. A...- thepuckhead
