Favorite Summer Pics

[Guest]

Here are two of my favorite summer pics the day I blew out my lead knee slaloming. Hope fully with some more upper and lower body rehab I''ll get back up again. This was off my old Four Winns a couple of years ago.

Bad news was last year I could not get up on 1 or 2 ski's. After those pics I have had three ops on left knee and it still will not rebuild in PT correctly. I cannot get full range of motion or put hard pressure on it quickly like you do in a hard turn.

PT starts again in 2 weeks with new insurance so we will see what happens this time. Maybe a chiropractor?

Like Boarding and surfing are your passions, slaloming was mine. My daughter is learning to board and depending, I may try surfing later.

Only 3 more months 3...2...1...Season

Nice shred, Hope all goes well with the PT, I hate to see people injured and unable to enjoy life.

Thanks for the comment. I just need to work hard at PT this spring and combine it with a sports medicine chiropractor an try try again.

Sooner or later something will work.

I re-injured my knee slightly again slaloming last summer. I have already had both of them operated on. The knees are not always happy with the watersports,dirtbiking,hockey and snow skiing.Just got fitted up for some custom made CT braces-I think it was Jason B who recommended them plus a couple of my buddies just got them. This might not be the best idea as I might think I am undestructable and push things harder LOL. It is a drag when we get injured.

Hope every thing goes good and you are on top of the water soon.

I injured both knees a few years ago while snow skiing. I didn't tear or blow out anything but it took me 3 months before they felt better again. What happened to the days of yesterday when you are sore for a few days and then ready to go

Well if I remeber correctly I started slaloming hard when I was 18 and trashed my knee 29 years later which made me 47 at the time. Now I am 50 working very hardf to get to 51 and I think I am starting to wear out the OEM equipment. The knee problem started with a mild meniscus tear that was treated and I was able to go at it again but at a slower and reduced pace. But, the better the knee felt the more I pushed because their were 5 slalomers in the family and I wanted to compete again. I got thru the end of the year and tore the hell out of the meniscus which had me bone on bone for 3 months while I evauated options and DR's. I finally decided on a reccomendation that wa to buy me 10 years with a titanium inner knee replacement. It went rather wll and I was up and walking in a couple of week but could not fot the life of me run or get full range.This went on until February and we scheduled a nother surgery to cleaup the joint and the remaining meniscus. Total failure. Iwas set back to the beginnig. Now I am trying to get range and flex back.
