Revision THR Another Second Chance

[inthebeginning]

This guy helps a bit. Takes some of the pressure off the glutes and just the right amount of pressure on the top of the hamstring.

Looks like it’s a comfy solution...

Man, that would be nice for those baseball bleachers but oh so embarrassing [emoji23]

Thanks for sharing the cushion, might be an item for the Recovery Articles?
Hope you having a good one! Not even asking what you have on the agenda. Nuh uh...not going there...
I'm afraid to hear it.

I've noticed you haven't posted your agenda for the last day or two either @inthebeginning! Trying to stay out of trouble?

Kids are in their last week of school. Just picked up my Sophomore after his two final exams for the day. Sitting in the local coffee shop hanging out!
He has two basketball games this evening. I actually use a folding bleacher seat (picture attached) for the games... it’s nice to have a little back support. That cushion works best in vehicles or maybe a hard bottomed dining room type chair.

I’m actually taking it easy!

The weather is a tad wet today and we just got a Winter Weather Advisory issued for tonight. May 20 and possibly 5+ inches of snow overnight! I swear these cold fronts and moist weather systems cause a little extra pain in the hip!

Would I need to write something up?

 

[Layla]

No, I can bring it to Admins attention but it takes time to process through.
I actually like that bleacher seat too! For myself, anyway.
Do you put a cushion on that, or can you feel the hard bleacher underneath?

Should I laugh now Or wait and see how the rest of the day unfolds?

Well, it’s currently snowing so I think I’m safe.

That bleacher seat has a couple of bungee type ties underneath so you can adjust the stiffness of the canvas on the bottom. I’ve got it tight enough so I don’t ‘bottom out’ on the bleacher underneath.

I also engineered a solution pre-op for my vehicle at work. My job entails managing the entire airfield at Denver International Airport. That means a lot of driving! Our current vehicles Do Not have the fancy multi-adjustable seats. We have a couple of old 727 aircraft that we use for training exercises. I grabbed one of the seat cushions from one of those aircraft to place on the seat in the truck. It really helped to open up the hip angle if I had to sit in the vehicle for long periods.

You really come up with some innovative solutions! Very cool!

I just can't get over the snow there! That is crazy, and definitely not good for the joints! Perfect idea for the seat in your work vehicle...........sounds like a full day of driving around like that definitely needs some cushioning, ouch!

Yes, it is a little extra achy today!

 

[inthebeginning]

The hits just keep on coming!!
This is what I just drove home through from my son’s basketball games!!! May freaking 20th!!

 

[Mojo333]

That's just crazy.
Also crazy we will hit 100 degrees this weekend in my neck of the woods.

Glad you made it home safely.

 

[SE Florida]

Wow! Snow in CO and 100 degrees in Georgia? And in Florida, low 80's???

 

[inthebeginning]

This is not unprecedented. The latest measurable snow in Denver was actually June 5 back in 1947! Still crazy!
Worst part is the trees! I can’t go out and shake them off. Wife actually broke her ankle in the snow on Mother’s Day a number of years ago, so she’s a little apprehensive about going out there.

 

[Layla]

That. is. crazy.
Hopefully the sun comes out today and melts it all
Well...maybe not on second thought. I'm for anything that holds you down for an extra minute, lol.
Have a good one!

I won’t tell you what I’ve done.
