Good luck big fella with your ankle operation tomorrow-will be great for the pain to be gone
-
Mark enjoy the rest and do as the doctors/nurses say no getting up and walking till they tell you. If you need anything call i'm always available. PM sent
-
Goodluck Firko
May the drugs be strong and at least make you smile.
-
Wishing you a speedy recovery big fella..all the best mate ;)
-
Hey mate enjoy the sponge baths while you can...... ;D
-
All the best and good riddance to the bad pain you've had !! :-*
-
All the best Mark :) Bill and Valeria
-
Did you know Firko that 80% of patients "interfere" with themselves after the op in the recovery room whilst the anesthetic is wearing off! Good luck mate. Let us know how you go! Jerry
-
Thanks folks.......I've been whingeing and whining for so long you're all probably as sick of it as I am. ;D The operation couldn't have come at a better time, I've pretty much had enough of the 24/7 pain and the mind numbing drugs that no longer seem to work. The pain will now hopefully begin to wind down and I'll eventually be back walking and riding my bikes, (both push and motorised 8). ).Once I'm back walking properly again I'll be back in hospital for my trick new titanium knee so this year's the big sacrifice on getting everything fixed up so I can start to enjoy the sport again.
-
Good luck with tomorrow's op, is titanium the best material to use in your knee though?
Has someone tested Titanium knees over Drunk's Hill?
-
Good luck "Uncle Firko".
-
Good luck old mate.
May the drugs be strong and the nurses weak........... ;)
-
Ooops....We're a day ahead of ourselves, I'm going into hospital on Thursday not tomorrow. I appreciate the good wishes more than you'd realise :-*
-
Hi Mark, good luck mate with your op, and get well soon, may the ride be smooth and bump free Take Care cheers dave
-
I have a titanium screw holding my collar bone together. It's made me lighter and faster. I have thought of having all my bones replaced by with titanium. Is that a problem with scrutineering??Jerry PS It doesn't get picked by security at the airport. Makes me feel like I'm putting one over the system PPS Just had a thought, a titanium discussion might lure Ji back!

Good luck Firko!
As a wise man once said to me prior to my first op; "leave your pride at the door, and pick it back up when you leave". Its a core principle I continue to follow when I have to go under the knife.
I expect to see the "bionic man" of Klub Kevlar back, bigger and faster in 2013. Yes we can rebuild him, etc...! :)
-
Best of luck and happy birthday too!
-
When a nurse comes asking for a sample, tell her she'll have to syphon it out, unless she's a he of course.
Good luck & happy birthday.
-
All the best with your operation Firko,
Hope to meet up one day

Or the conversation I had with my surgeon: "it is a dangerous operation?" "Not for me" he replied... ???
Firko, make sure they write "THIS ONE" in black texta on the right [correct] ankle, and double check again before any cutting takes place. Always good to be sure... :D
Best of luck Uncle Firko.
PS. watch out for the cold spoon during the sponge bath...especially if it is a male nurse ;D
-
Good luck mate.....the one sad thing is when you wake up from the op, you will realise DT1's never existed and it was all a dream!!!....Hindles, Cheneys, Champions......all a figmint of your imagination....even VMX magazine.... ;D
-
Jeez DC that's your worst nightmare ;D All the best with it Firko ;)
-
Fiko ;D hope your OP goes to plan and you can swing a leg over that Mega DT and relive the dream again.
Crockashit, you on medication again ;)
-
Dont no about Titanium knee's going over Drunks Hill,but l now have a Titanium shoulder because of Drunks Hill, all the best Firko. ;)

Mark,
I thought you were anti Billet, Titanium, Bling in VMX!!!! Now you are turning into a RH/RN race machine!! Seriously all the best, I know what it is like to live with constant debilertating pain and suffering. I am married with 3 daughters and even our cat was a female. All the very best, get well and get racing.

Good luck Mark, do the physio, it will be worth it.

Good luck Mark, do the physio, it will be worth it
Thanks Rossco and everyone....I spoke to the physio this morning and once the plaster's off I'll be spending a lot of time in the pool walking laps in the therapy pool and swimming laps in the big pool. Ironically it was while riding my mountain bike to the local pool that my knee chucked it in. I've also been told to do some upper body weight work while I'm waiting for the plaster to come off which might at least get me a bit stronger. I've pulled my old weight bench out from under the house and set it up this arvo.............
It's going to be a long hard year, but it'll well worth it.
-
Good luck Mark , remember be nice to the nurses even the male ones they can make life hell in rehab . Iain
-
Hope it all goes well. Good luck, Firko
You need a Cheney W/chair with a DT-1 motor for a month or so :D
-
Good Luck Firko you will be throwing a Leg over a bike before you know it
Poppy..
-
Mark, I hope everything goes well with your op and we can catch up at HBBB this year.
Regards Stan.
-
Good luck with the op and recovery Mark,the best thing i have learnt is to listen to the physio,dont try and do to much or to less,just do what they say and you'll be running around like a teenager in no time.
cheers Dale.
-
best wishes Mark, hope all goes well and your back on your bike before you know it !!
-
Get that leg up to scratch now Mark ;) So I can take you for a meet and greet tour of the Hbbb site on my somewhat oversize 3wheeled pitbike :D Cheers and all the best Tim754

Here's to a quick recovery Firko [raises beer glass].

Nothing worse than chronic pain Mark, it will all go well I'm sure mate and I have heard good reports about the knee op so all the best with that later. All the best from the bush mate.
-
All the best Firko, it will be interesting to read about all the ideas you dream up while you're recovering.
That will be even more incentive to get yourself home and back into it ;)
-
Good luck with the OP's Firko, Hope they look after ya in there.
PS, Dont go for the orange juice in containers like this mate , It aint much chop :-\
Cheers KB
