ps congrats
Dr. Sicki, thanks man, good to see that you're back in the water too :biggthumpup: I am back to my regular workout of jogging, push ups, pull ups, etc. It was several weeks of jogging a mile before I could do it with any speed and no limping :banghead: Now I have thrown in some various sprints too in an attempt to get some speed back (a jog was sprinting just a few weeks ago!) and that seems to be helping a lot. The biggest help for me after PT was my bicycle, that is the best thing I have found to build stength and increase motion range.
When I started riding again most of it was in the surf, with the 1" HT underpadding..........which ROCKS....and I didn't really feel any pain other than my foot not wanting to bend enough. Impacts don't seem to bother me, just the lack of motion........but I have not tried any backflips in the surf, I am a little shy about that one still :wink: Lately I have been riding every chance I have and my foot is pretty damn sore, but it's getting better. It's not really affecting my riding anymore, so now I'm back to learning how to hang on to the Jr. Magoo's beast :hail:
