rehab
« on: September 04, 2010, 04:53:52 PM »

I am still a "rookie" here, but have been training and posting a bit. Now i have a real problem. After being diagnosed with skin cancer in middle of my upper back, i had to have it removed. Now i have a 4 inch incision between my shoulder blades. For the next 2 weeks i cant work or pick up anything at all. Four to six weeks later 10 to 20 pounds only. What can i do then to get the flex and strength back to begin training again?  Stretching? Lite exercise?  Hopefully they got it all, needless to say I aint got hosp. and /or sickleave. So guys, what's my options?

Relax. Kick back.
Watch some DVDs.

Redhawk,

I had to have some skin cancer removed back in 2001 from about the same location, just a bit higher. Recovered in no time without complications. One of the least painful surgeries I've had to recover from.

Listen to the Big Kahuna:
Relax. Kick back.
Watch some DVDs.

It's only two weeks; no BFD. Instead of weights, I used some light shadow boxing to loosen up my upper body and just focused on my kicks for about four weeks. By the time I was cleared by the doctor and off the LIMDU list, I was ready to go at it again.

BTW,
I've had no further problems with the Big "C"! ;D

The worst is over..

Eat healthy, rest, stay off the booze and don't get hooked on the pain killers ( that happens a lot so be Ultra-careful on that one ! ).

Get checked regular for any return signs.

Best wishes on a speedy recovery..

Stay off the booze!?! Doesn't the economy have enough problems without telling people not to support their local brewery?!
Whoa the pony dear readers. Let's get our thinking back on track.
Stay off the booze, Pffftttt. Sacrilege, prue sacrilege.

Sacrilegious or not:

You will heal much quicker...
if you lay off the liqour!

Plus, pain killers and alcohol are ALWAYS a bad combination.

Trust Ol' Dawg on this one...I spent most of 2000 and 2001 laid up with various injuries and ailments that required surgery. Couldn't really train again until late 2002.

Take it easy, heal up properly, then ease back into your training routine.

Don't listen to Uncle Arnold when it pertains to alcohol or medication; although he IS an expert in those areas, following his advice could be hazardous to your health.

As a matter of fact, just training with him can be pretty hazardous to your health.

Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Relaxing is part of the plan, in fact it is the plan. What could be better than an afternoon in your backyard, a cold 6 pack of Saint Arnold, a chilled bottle of potato vodka spiked with fermented blackberries, followed by a 16 oz Texas Ribeye, baked potato, some green vegetable and and small salad.
You will sleep like a baby getting all of the rest that's required or needed. For example, somehow I tore the tendon in my elbow. I have no idea how. So following my Dr's advice, I put ice on it nightly. With my left elbow in the cooler and a Saint Arnold Lawnmower Ale in my right, I was able to sit through "America's Got Talent" with my dear wifey. I never even made a move to shoot the tv. I just reached for the opener, settled in with my killer 2 pound rat dog and dozed off listening to Howie Mandel's bullshit in the background.
Never took their painkillers. Shit just gave me a headache... and no it wasn't the Saint Arnold! Heaven Forbid!
And what could be better that an afternoon learning things from the Super Secret Book?! Look at what you left the seminar with, well, besides the bruising, bleeding and manipulated joints. All that knowledge to share with those who desperately need it. ::)
