Oh yeah, it's gonna take a little while to get "work hardened" again, but it's all good. Now, I can finally start using the Rope Wrench.

So I got the word from the doc yesterday. He's cleared me for full duty, so I'm back to climbing! Yea ha! Thanks for all the support that you guys have given to me all winter, I really appreciate it.

Oh yeah, I'm happy about it for sure.

Just got the word from the Doc, 4 more weeks to go until I can climb again!

Picked some up today Gary, we'll see how it goes. Boy, I'm glad I'm doing the rehab myself. Since I just went through this last year, I know exactly what to do and I'm saving on my insurance copays. I've been playing with the rope wrench in my basement, just hanging a line off my weightlifting...

Started resistence PT today...only 16 more weeks to go before the doc gives me the ok to climb again!

Gary, thanks for the info. I think that I'll give yours a try.

I want to try this tendon suppliment, but the the stuff is really expensive. Maybe I'll give it a shot for 3 months during the healing process and see if it makes a difference. https://www.realadvantagenutrients.com/p/Ultimate_Tendon_Support.htm

Jer is right though, first we have to let ourselves heal up and then I can get back to work. I have to be patient and listen to my doctors. Man, I just went through this last year so I know how tough it's gonna be when I start feeling like I'm ready to climb, but the doc will say NOT YET.

Boy, I can't wait to heal up, what really kills me is having all my work backing up.

Thank God for the good people at Pfizer Pharmaceuticals!

Thanks Butch! Man I don't know how you were able to keep sane after all those months with your foot injury. That must have really tested your patience.

Had surgery one month ago today guys. ROM is almost all back, but doc still won't let me start PT for another week. Arm and shoulder very, very weak.

The sport is defintely more about technique than brute strength. If I had had more experience, I never would have let the match start.

No that is what pissed my off. The referee should never have let the match start, because I found out later that my arm was in "the broken arm position" when we set up. My elbow was setup inside my shoulder and my arm was torqued out at a bad angle. The guy was smaller than me and I had already...

No, I don't set off the metal detectors, which is a surprise. Jer, I got into the sport back in the late 80's. At the time I was a competitive powerlifter and really enjoyed lifting the heavy weights, though I did not care for performing in front of a crowd because I'm really quite shy. One day...

Funny you should mention that MB. When I was 25, I was a competitive arm wrestler and during a match I shattered the humurus bone in my upper arm. The arm was broken so bad that the orthopaedic doctor could not set it in a cast. They had to do surgery on the arm (same arm that I just had elbow...

That is an interesting analogy Brian, and same here MB, glad that bicep tendon doesn't bother you. Yeah Jer, I couldn't get over what my forearm looked like after just 2 weeks in that cast. Still have to wait another 3 weeks before I can start resistance

Yeah, I have a powerlifting buddy of mine who ruptured his biceps tendon doing barbell curls. He never had it fixed and the doc just said that it would reattach itself a little higher. He doesn't have any issues with it as far as I know. Just not quite as strong as the other arm. Tendon...

Old 88, what a beautiful piece of machinery that is and the way that Jer describes the whole high lead logging makes it so interesting to watch. Well, I got the cast off my arm yesterday and can't believe how much the muscles have atrophied in just 2 weeks. Thank god that muscle has memory...
