Was at Seven Springs a little over a month ago and took a pretty nasty digger breaking my femur, 2 ribs, and put a nice tear in my rotator cuff as well. Got a rod put into my leg and had to learn how to walk all over agian. Today was my first day I walked into work without crutches, but Ive still got a long way to go. Im on a trainer for about 20 minutes a day just peddling to keep my ligaments stretched and starting to rebuild the muscle too. Other than that I go to work and I come home and watch tv. Im trying not to drink because itll just slow down the healing time but theres really not much to do besides the interwebz and tv when you can barely walk.
Im trying to be positive but Im running out of things to keep my mind off the fact that I cant ride. Im looking for some relatively cheap ideas that will be low impact on the body. Something physical, but at the same time not too physical. So throw me some stories or ideas of what got you through your last injury. At 30, I can honestly say I had never thought I would be this guy but here I am. I will be back on the trail as soon as my doc/body lets me but for now I just need to keep myself sane.
