The Ugh Thread

[Tjf1967]

Rode up with someone Wednesday who told me about his wife broke her leg skiing a while ago and she quit skiing .
Might have been aggravated by osteoporosis.
Stay safe out there folks

Or an ambulance with the siren on.

You might get struck by lightning to. Ok stay at home do you exercises and give it a go next year.

Been doing the yoga thing. 2x a day last week, 5x a day Sat and Sun, snuck out for another at lunch today for hopefully 3x weekday.

Like every thing else I do I am over focused on something very narrow. It's certainly not a yoga program. It's one set of 4 exercises that I do on each side left/right. It takes about 12 minutes.

I can't do everything exactly as the yoga stud is asking because my leg is hurt. So I am going about half way with some of the stretches. I could see how it would be amazing if I could fully extend.

It's definitely helping. I'm walking normally, but I don't think I could walk a mile at normal speed without some pain. At the end of a day I feel pretty good, stiffest in the am when I wake up.

If someone knows something about yoga start a thread and I'll post there. This isn't really an Ugh thing anymore, if I really continue with the yoga something positive came out of my stupidity injury.

Glad your seeing results. My back was so f’d up it took 6-8 months to see any results. Keep at it. You will feel like a rock next ski season

You don't need to do very many different exercises for it to be useful. It more a question of whether you can keep up the same routine consistently without getting bored. I get bored with yoga but can handle basic Pilates routines or the occasional class because there is movement. At least for a month or two.

Started doing the home PT exercises last weekend. When it says 8-12 reps, I try to do 8, but sometimes I lose count and do more. Helps that I've done them all before. ROM is essentially back to normal. Doing relevant exercises to improve ROM helped.

The stretch routine I found back in 2012 that I actually do during the fall calls for 3 repetitions for each exercise. I rarely do more than 2 repetitions. I'm not a perfectionist.

Someone PM'd me and said "everyone was assuming" I got hurt because tele is a young man's sport and i am too old for it.

First let me say, fuçk that.

Second, I didn't mean to imply I got hurt "tele-ing" whatever that means. All my skiing is freeheeled, but I was cross country skiing and got crossed up doing a step turn, on a pretty mellow incline. Stupid maybe, but not tele.

I admit it was a scary moment, alone, on the ground, in the woods a mile from the cabin, I wasn't sure how exactly I was going to get back. It took quite a while. Luckily I guess it wasn't a tear. I probably shouldn't ski alone ever, but there is no way I am giving it up.

Tele is for old farts.
Glad you’re not still out there laying on the frozen ground.
Never give up!

i just assumed you were old.

You are correct. I'm 63.

Yesterday I met with the dude who's going to give me a new knee. Can't schedule anything yet due to no elective stuff, yet. Ugh.

Any estimate on when?

Just one knee bad? How is the other?
