Help.Me.

I had my ablation done in Sept 2018, went for my annual check up about 3 months ago, I had no episodes of irregular heart beat for 18 months (since my last check up) i am not a top athlete/racer but i have pushed myself into the red a couple of times.....i did take it slow for 6 weeks for the ablation to "heal" properly.

Are you holding back??

Was planning to do it with my daughter, then my rotator cuff happened, still on the mend , but with the "new rules" I think I will skip this one. I stay 220km from Willowmore , with the race starting at 10am it was nice leaving early in the morning and arrived with lots of time to prepare, but now will be a different ball game...........

This is going to be a game changer...........keep an eye on the classifieds for the off loading of tickets starting today. I am still in 2 minds of doing this !!

Thanks very much i have !!!

Hi Hubbers , is there anybody in the above area that can check something out for me please? I will pay towards any costs occurring. Please send me a WA 08three 22 52 oo5. Thanks in advance

Was it me writing this ??? Following with big interest, my main problem is to recover from my shoulder , but i also feel BLEH at the moment

Daily yes.....keep me humble.......

I am also battling, at least under control. With my shoulder repaired i battle to do my IDT sessions my hand goes numb, and i am hurting....more frustrated than everything else. Then i think of the GI JANE movie with the following..... I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself. Then i dont feel sorry for myself any more!!!

Rather get yourself a Glock 43, you are just going to make the "TIKKOP" more angry....

Ouch that sounds serious.. .. he must blame the wife !! I am "working" from home , but will go into the office Monday, fortunately i am working for myself so it helps a lot.

Ok so 11 days after the procedure , i am starting to feel human again. According to the dr he did the following which i had to Google.......Rotator Cuff repair, bicep tenodesis and shoulder acromioplasty. I cannot remember anything about last week and slept all day long. The pain meds show schedule 6 on the box, i must admit that and the sleeping tablets kept me under for a very long time day or night. i will finish with the meds over the weekend and then start with the IDT again come Monday morning when my system is clean of all the pills..... the Doc suggested 2 weeks rest and then slowly back on the IDT IF IT DOES NOT HURT !!! Just glad it is so far down the line , and now my wifes Boss tested positive for Covid, fortunately we lived like separate life's , she in the one bedroom and me in the other before and after the op, because i had to isolate before the op............ never a dull moment!!!

I am in the same boat, waiting for my renewal of my competancy certificates. Last night my neighbour 1,5km from us got robbed by 5 men, armed with a handgun and pangas. They were braaing outside when they got attacked. Shots were fired by the robbers and one hit his brother in law on his side, the other bullet just scraped one guest. Fortunately a guest came around the corner and fired at the robbers. They took cellphones, juwelery and a laptop and fled....this could have turned very bad if the guest did not intervere with the robbers. Just another farm attack in good old SA......

Yes that is some of the movements i have to do, but the list goes on....glad to hear your recovery part. Something to look forward too. For now baby steps i do not want to go through another shoulder op again, this pain is real.....

This starts looking like a medical journal. I thouhgt i was the only buggered weekend warrior around. Day 5 after my shoulder op, and i wants to faint every time my wife helps me with the rehab sessions.......flippin sore

Dankie nou kan ek ook bietjie Afrikaans skryf....ek sukkel om my soms in Engels uit te druk...limited vocabulary etc.As julle oor n nuwe plek wil skryf, moet julle Addo toe kom na Haytersdale, hulle is besig om n hele nuwe kamp terrein op te rig vir fietsryers, stappers en drawwers. Plek gaan baie lekker wees met baie single trek om te ry!!! Just for the English die hards.. Robbie and Trevor is building new facilities( over night tents etc) at Hayterdale to cater for more than just cycling.

With comprehensive cover do you mean Specified under All Risk section of the policy?

Thanks DJR, the timing is also bad, i am getting stronger on the bike etc, so i hope that i will bounce back stronger from this one. Roll on Monday!!

My first op 17 years ago they nearly cut right around the shoulder open. That took a year to recover properly and i mean properly. The exercise directly after the op nearly made me fainted every time. The pain meds via an IV caused my diaphragm, to relax to much which interfered with my breathing. They then stopped the IV and gave me pain meds via injections....my backside looked liked a dart board afterwards. The last op in 2018 with the new technology was much smoother but the shoulder is not 100% yet and NO SWIMMING OR ROWING allowed. I must not use weights to get the shoulder stronger but those rubber bands...wish me luck!!

I think the Doc will only know ones he did the fix. I had my left shoulder done in 2018 but that was more serious screws where put into the Acromion, with part of the screw head protruding against my skin, that was very sore and I was stuffed for quite some time. Fortunately the right shoulder , that was done 17 years ago , just need repairs on some tendons. Not looking forward to this sh#t again!!!

Hi Fellow Hubbers, I am booked for the above procedure, how long will it be for me to be back on the IDT?

thanks will have a look at that !!

with an e-bike.................

Thanks for al the advice, back to the drawing board....the support vehicle is going to be challenging, my wife dont like heights at all ( going over Bergplaas). I did the "Langsbaviaans" in 2011 so i "know" that gravel road from Willowmore to Steytlerville. I know that area is very dry we went hunting there now for the last 5 years, Aberdeen and Steytlerville area, it is terrible to say the least. We have nice rain in Addo and Kirkwood so lets hope and pray they get some aswell....

Look at the Glock 43 for concealment, although limited magazine capacity, or Glock 26 which can use the bigger magazines for home defence....enjoy the shopping, we just went through this whole excercise, my wife and daughter got the 43 an me the 26....
