My OG mend has started.

Crunchy sounds unpleasant, but hey, if they're gonna fix the upper body while you are there as well that's a bonus right?
 
They told me to expect that and it was part of the process. It is unnerving but not super painful as one would expect.
 
I suppose they do know what they are doing, but yeah that'd weird me out.
 
Had something broke in my ribs; could’ve been cartilage, it clicked on occasions every day. After perhaps 31 days the clicking stopped and the stabbing pain stops soon after.
 
any trauma felt in the mind?
At times our injuries have a way of sticking with us and reminding us what we've been through.
Just a thought.

I relived the fall twice in dreams so far. Pretty realistic when the leg flinched and the pain set in.

Not fun.

Being stuck in a room basically 24/7 is mental trauma in ways. Now that I have started trying to work my BP has spiked significantly. That proves to me that work is not healthy. :laughing

Can cause an uncomfortable pain sensation like an electrical shock to neck, shoulders arms. Maybe a shot of adrenalin..
America’s funniest videos., If I watch a video & somebody hits the ground hard, I can get brief uncomfortable sensation viewing people getting hurt.

The S/O reacts like that when I watch fail videos, I tend to just chuckle, though head injuries always get me
 
Be 2 weeks tonight. Another milestone this AM.

A shower!! You can never really smell your own stink but I had to qualify as a smelly mofo.

Only got 5-1/2 hours of sleep and I feel it. Lazy me would love a nap vs PT but that is lazy shit and not going to happen.

Now the tough part. Brushing out my hair. :laughing

You are winning! When do you break out of that hell hole.

I will stay in the hell hole until I can drive and get back to my office. Being home won’t be much better and other than puppy love probably worse.

So I figure 1 more month minimum of just shitty life.
 
OK just for you. Tay Tay and Travis exchanging PT stories.
 
Yikes, what a journey so far! Stay the course, my good man...
 
Need updates Budman! Your inner man needs your peeps more than ever these next few months. Check in!

I would be outta there by now as being able to shower is kind of a milestone.

Clearly they are treating you well though.

But, ugh, another month?

It is such baby steps hard to find something worthy to mention. Did my own PT yesterday and today I have done 1 round.

Feeling a couple mental challenges from being in a box. The remote software I use to get to my servers and emails for work is a PITA. Don’t really want to dwell on work either. :(

I got some bad news on a personal level and I am not able to really process that. Nothing health wise for me or the fam but a huge hit to a personal goal has me feeling down on top of busted leg down.

Makes it harder to post when some negatives are involved but I suppose that is part of the game.

Well when you can barely move without a ton of pain not a lot of options.

Yes they are. I have some frustrations with the food since I am a weirdo eater but overall this place is nice. I don’t have a comparison though. All the other stuff after a short hospital visit I went home.

Not an option with this injury.

I hit the Dr Thursday I believe and figure they will clear me to go home but they still has me basically on lock down. Just no red button to call for help and an easy target for Mrs Bman to express her concerns about work and a bunch of stuff that I do not give two shits about 😂

This was my iPhone pic of the day.

This isn’t book face where only our best is shared, we are here for the shit times too. Sorry to hear that you got some more added to your pile, @budman. Good job doing that pt today :thumbup
 
Monday.

Lap top died out the gate. Thank gawd :laughing

PT1 done. Walking all the way to the gym is now the norm. Focus was getting ready to stair. I have been doing a lot of homework and it went well.

Put on shoes today too. First time. A little extra weight but it was time. Good work I think.
Step up
Step up / down
Step up / over
Step over to the side

Icing now. Group PT in one hour will be a new experience. Hope to kick some ass …. I mean enjoy that too.
 
Woot!!! Budman killing it!
We need an injured rider emoji.
It is a hard raining day here in Marin, no riding being missed today.
