Title: Re: Good luck Bud Post by Bud_Bent on Nov 14th, 2007, 7:30pm Thanks, y'all. Let's wish Steve luck with his knee issue, too. He'll also be seeing a doctor tomorrow, and that has the potential to be a lot longer term issue than my surgery. Good luck, Steve! If all goes well, I'll be home tomorrow evening, and I'll post and let everyone know. |

Title: Re: Good luck Bud Post by Bud_Bent on Nov 14th, 2007, 10:04pm An unexpected turn: my doctor called at 8:15 pm this evening to tell me my surgery has been canceled. They did not like the ct scan that was done on my lungs, and he said that issue needs to be handled first. |

Title: Re: Good luck Bud Post by Strada177 on Nov 14th, 2007, 10:11pm Hang in there Bud. Let's think positively. If this doesn't build moral fiber,I don't know what will?! So,what's the next step?? |

Title: Re: Good luck Bud Post by aikigreg on Nov 14th, 2007, 10:29pm Meaning they need to re-do the scan or they found something on yht scan?? Holy crap.... |

Title: Re: Good luck Bud Post by bent_eagle on Nov 15th, 2007, 12:21am I'm afraid I must have missed the news about Bud. What's going on? Whatever it is, I'm sure you'll be fine. God loves recumbents riders, because we're always looking up! |

Title: Re: Good luck Bud Post by Richard on Nov 15th, 2007, 9:56am Bud, Everytime you get poked, or have a scan, or some doc look down your throat, just think of what it was like to fly down that big hill at night during the TTT. We will be thinking of you and Rose and praying for good tests and speedy recovery. |

Title: Re: Good luck Bud Post by Bud_Bent on Nov 15th, 2007, 1:06pm I'm being admitted to the hospital Sunday morning, to begin a battery of tests. They tell me I'll be back home by Thanksgiving. |

While we're on the subject of health, how did your own doctor appointment today go? |

Title: Re: Good luck Bud Post by Strada177 on Nov 15th, 2007, 9:12pm Bud,thanks for asking. The visit went very well. The MRI showed NO tears(meniscus or ligaments). It did show IT Band Syndrome(inflamed tissue & bursis ),a crooked knee cap(runners knee) & a bone contusion(??). So I chill for 2 weeks, then start PT & then maybe start riding again in 4 weeks. The Ortho stressed to start back slowly. So the New Years day 200K is out. He wants me to work up to longer distances. So Peggy & I will ride in the New Rears ride in Blue Mound(37 miles). |

Doesn't sound too bad. I wonder how the bone contusion happened. Don't underestimate the power of physical therapy. Hopefully, the pt will have you feeling much better, soon. Winter is a good time for reduced mileage anyway. Hopefully, you'll be back up to distance stuff before spring. |

Title: Re: Good luck Bud Post by bikerteam on Nov 16th, 2007, 6:34am Steve, the "crooken knee cap" is very important, and what led to my surgery. Is the patella tracking on the medial or lateral side? My surgery was called a lateral realease. It is common in runner and especially cyclists to have an under developed VMO muscle. The VMO muscle (the "M" is medial) is the quad muscle on the inside of the leg. If that's what you have, then be sure to have your PT show you strength exercises to develop the VMO. I can help with this, as that's what I spent 4 month in rehab (after surgery) doing. Good luck my friend. |
