Treehumper down and getting back up.

[oldoakman]

We want video of that

 

[treehumper]

No video as my wife didn't think to shoot some. But maybe tomorrow if we go out again. We did a 3 hr tour of the Overpeck creek section of the Hackensack River. 2 Bald Eagles, 3 Osprey, half a dozen Great Blue Herons, about the same number of Common Egrets, 4 Night Herons, a muskrat, a snapping turtle. a couple of carp and of course the ever present flotsam and jetsam of humans...

I'm pretty happy yo be back to work full time. But man did you pick a sweet time for recovery or what?

 

[treehumper]

Back to work? Nope, partial weight on my foot. I can get in and out of the kayak not a tree! I've got possibly 3 mths of PT. Still limited range of motion. This ain't over yet!

 

[CreTree]

That was supposed to say that I am happy to be back to work. You definitely have a ways to go. Glad to see that you are enjoying recovery to some extent. It was 20 degrees when I was laid up.
Keep at it.

 

[treehumper]

Yeah, u timed it better. I'll be ready to go just in time for low season.

Any sort of physical activity is good for both body and mind.

 

[oldoakman]

Great pic Rob. Being ready to get back in the low season should work well for you to get back into shape. My hand is still coming along ever so slowly. PT kicked me out a month ago and I've been up a few trees since. Actually getting some work stress on it seems to help more than anything else has. I talked to Amanda Carpenter at the ISA Conference about the hand and she gave me some good tips and information. I wish she would start watching and posting here. I'm sure she could give good info to us all. Be well my friend.

 

[treehumper]

True. There will be work conditioning as part of the pt. In that scenario the focus is building toward production capacity instead of jumping in risking a. Major setback.

Yes, it would be a great idea for USA to have their people in this site to contribute.

Is your auto correct messing up or are you on pain pills again?

 

[treehumper]

Damn thumbs and autocorrect! ...for ISA to have their people on this site to contribute.

 

[treehumper]

Took a big step today, got on a stationary bike and peddle for 1o min. Level 7 95 rpm. Burned a whopping 50 calories! Woo hoo!

 

[CreTree]

Awesome!

 

[treehumper]

And I'm on the couch with my foot on the back to get it as high as I can... Damn that swelling!

 

[treehumper]

Major milestone today, the wearing of a shoe for the first time since the fall!

 

[Adkpk]

You can see the swelling. Great! Won't be long now.

 

[treehumper]

Today my foot was twice the size. Damn the swelling….

 

[TreeLogic]

You're on the home stretch brother. You'll be climbing again in no time. Bet you miss it.

 

[treehumper]

Chomping at the bit. November come she will.

 

[TreeLogic]

You're gonna have to land on your left foot for a bit on those fast descents

 

[treehumper]

I told my PT that we can go climb as part of my work conditioning. He's totally down with it. Now to convince his boss!
