 Poster: A snowHead
|
[I'm trying to contact BobinCH with a possible La Grave holiday invitation but he hasn't been on here for nearly 3 months so hasn't seen my PM. I would be extremely grateful if someone who has his email could tell him he has a PM from me (or send me his email if you think he wouldn't mind).]
Hi all those friendly Snowheads who commiserated 6 months ago.
A few people said to keep you updated about the progress of my smashed leg.
6 months now (on Friday) and things are going well. I am walking completely normally and cycling and attending group physio sessions at the hospital Gym twice a week. Still painful to kneel on that knee and the knee gets sore where the top of the rod down the bone is if I try to do one leg squats or press heavy weights (but the muscles are almost equal to the other leg now). Up to now they wouldn't let me jog but now it is 6 months I'll ask again. I intend to try a bit of gentle skiing at Hemel in 3 weeks Tu 29th morning (before I see the surgeon again) to see how it feels and if it is likely I should have the (very slightly protruding) screws in my ankle out to ski comfortably in ski boots. If so I would have that done in October, which is the earliest they would be prepared to do it.
As you can see, though, I am assuming skiing will be OK and booking holidays and off piste guides (!)

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

the screws probably wont bother you, I have 2 in my ankle from a tib/fib break they stick out a tiny bit but never noticed them skiing, liners will soon mould round them

I was told the callous will smooth over time after it initially thickens for a quicker, stronger repair.
When I did my femur the surgeon took out the screws as he said if I do it again they would make it worse 
Hopefully you'll be all sorted in time for the season
