Baller aupatking Posted June 10, 2015 Baller Share Posted June 10, 2015 You're already in the right place mentally. Just roll with it, it will be over and you'll be skiing again. All medicine has its place, but on the top of my list: physical therapy. Do a lot, as soon as the ortho says go. Good luck with the MRI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller thager Posted June 10, 2015 Baller Share Posted June 10, 2015 @Horton Measured for a Power vest? Do they make them with a pear shape now? Probably will have a flextail and tiny carbon sticks to compensate for the theoretical bicep thingies. Heal fast Sir! B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller A_B Posted June 10, 2015 Baller Share Posted June 10, 2015 The real key is to convince the wife it was ok until you started changing diapers, so that must be putting a strain on it. Doc says avoid strain.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MrJones Posted June 10, 2015 Baller Share Posted June 10, 2015 This is just an observation as a PT. People who are super active as adults tend to "roll with" and recover from injuries much better than the general population. Obviously this it not 100% of the time, but overall it's very true. Of course more active generally means better health, but I think it's more mind set than physical. In the younger crowd look at the list of broken bones in all the X games sports, rodeo, etc. It's expected that you will get busted up... then get back on the horse, bike, skis, etc. Now if my mother in law will just understand this concept and stop asking us "Well, are you going to stop this skiing thing after THIS surgery?"

Baller JohnCox Posted June 10, 2015 Baller Share Posted June 10, 2015 Good attitude, @Horton, and whatever the ortho says, do it. The moment I realized I was done, all I did was exactly what he said. Rest as instructed, and rehab as instructed. And do it as long as he says to. Mine assured me that when he told me I was good, I was just as likely to rupture the other one... I did exactly what he said, and since he said "go", I have done just that with no concern about my arm. I'm stronger now than before. Other than it looking a little different, it's just as good as the other arm. You are not looking to break records....so no need to rush back.

Baller wtrskior Posted June 10, 2015 Baller Share Posted June 10, 2015 I didn't ski for most of last summer so I feel your pain! Being a northerner it was nearly 10 months since I skied due to a late winter shoulder injury. got out there for a month or so last year to end the season, 1 short trip south in November and now just starting again. I still haven't got to where I was 2 seasons ago. Focus on healing and you'll be back better then ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller JayG80 Posted June 11, 2015 Baller Share Posted June 11, 2015 Sorry your bicep is blown. My wife ruptured hers on July 2 and was released to ski on December 8. The good news for us was that she injured her arm while skiing. The medical portion of our Boat US boat insurance policy covered the $6,000 Blue Cross deductible. The medical policy with Boat US is zero deductible and covers $25,000 for family and $5,000 for non-family. Edit: Re-read the OP and see you were in tournament. USA Waterski has you covered.
