You could sleep while this machine was moving your leg?

I got used to it quickly. The rig ran at a low cycle rate and I've always been a sound sleeper.

For best results the doc specified use for 6-8 hours a day. Doing this while sleeping was the best time slot to get those hours in as I didn't miss but a few days at work. Thankfully, for this second recovery round the company had moved to a location where I no longer had to negotiate 2nd floor stairs to get to my desk. ha ha

It also seemed that riding a motorcycle to work while still on crutches raised more eyebrows than telling anyone about that gizmo rocking my leg in bed ever did. :classic_biggrin:

Could this machine give me KOM winning quads of steel?!  I'm liking where this is heading.

FWIW, I can attest to how this machine resulted in significantly less muscle atrophy than on the previous leg that had healed without this treatment. The leg also maintained full range of motion without the issues I had with the first one.

The first leg developed scar tissue, significantly restricting full bend and full extension. Well, at least until I was riding a dirt bike in a deep sand rut at Skull Creek which pulled my foot off the peg and folded it back rather quickly. :classic_ohmy: At which point I felt this hard crackling in the knee. In the moment it was kinda worrisome as I thought I had lunched all the doc's hard work. After a quick inventory I realized the leg was actually better now, and the ruckus I had felt going on down there was the scar tissue breaking up under this force.

Naturally, I made a few more runs though those ruts, strictly as a form of therapy, which resulted in nearly full range of motion returning in an afternoon.

Having this delivered on Monday. I've put on 10lbs since my injury on Jul 4th, tipping the scale right at a 2-dollar bill. With another 3 months of rehab ahead of me, my goal is to get down to 185lbs riding weight with cardio restored to pre-injury levels by Christmas. Leg strength and ROM are improving greatly week-to-week thanks to Jarrod at Texas PT Specialists in Cedar Park. He has been fantastic to work with and is part of a great team over there.

Went OTB for the 1st time in probably years.
Like a hard OTB. Was cutting through the middle of that big oak tree with the Y trunk on upper Picnic and I reckon I caught my bar.
So yea ribs are specially tender but also hit my head. After that I noticed my ears had been ringing for a long time. I always thought the term Getting your bell rung was a saying. I didnt know hitting your head really makes your bell ring.

That sucks, man. At least you have an excuse to buy a new helmet.

Now that you are in the concussion protocol, you will need to be cleared by an independent neurologist before returning to game action. 

I'll just ask one of the homeless folks out there to perform a quick rectal exam on him prior to the ride. If he flinches, then we'll know he's good to ride.

Dude, you need to get a new neurologist. That is not at all how they check for concussions.

Well, if he's still thinking about his headache while some stranger is sticking their thumb up his butt, it's probably a pretty good indicator that he still has a head injury?

Maybe you're right. You can't tell what goes on in that blue tent on the NFL sidelines.

Yes it does. So does the saying about "seeing stars". Lots of little sparkly things no matter where you look.

Be extra careful when you hit your head and can no longer see out of one eye. Sure sign of trouble.
