I've had great luck with resistance band rehab at home as well as ice and rest
Excellent. That's what I'm looking for. Though there's not much rest in my house and I haven't had a 'chance' to ice yet, I really think just continuing to move it to tolerance kept everything from ceasing up and gave me a foot up on recovery... not that it doesn't hurt like hell.
I am pretty good at eying up a landing with a shoulder or two.
:rofl: Yeah, I'm usually good at 'Tuck and Roll', but this time I only got to 'Tuck and R...' :rofl:
Anyway, I had bilateral excision exostosis, you can google it but wont get an answer. Exostocis is refered to "Surfers Ear", it occurs from exposure to cold water. Basically the ENT removed bone growths in the outer ear canal of the L&R ears. This was done with a drill bit and hand tools - 4.5 hours under the knife. The recover is said to be two week, I into the second but my right ear is still swollen and leaves me with naseau.
I had a hand surgury scheduled for yesterday but had to postpone that until the dizzyness resides. I am not too bummed out about either. I hope to hike this weekend.
Yikes! None of that sounds like fun at all!
Actually, I am extremely familiar with exostoses which refers to extra growth. The bilateral would refer to both sides and the excision would probably refer to their removal. My kids have 'multiple hereditary exostosis' or MHE(not from my gene pool- they only get 'exos gluteus maximus' or extra wide butt potential from my side
). The growths are individually refered to as osteo exostosis or osteo chondromas or soft bone tumors(benign). They appear in the growth plates as 'extra bones' or bumps in multiples of shapes. My daughter hasn't had too much trouble with hers, but my son has had a real hard time.
He's 15, has had two surgeries already, deals with pain on a daily basis, has a visibly deformed arm because of it and needs surgery again on his arm and both knees as it's getting harder and harder for him to move. All this and he plays JV hockey(rookie of the year last year) and goalie for his Lacrosse team. He's an inspiration to the kids that see him for who he is and the ones that tease because he's 'different'- they are what they are.
There is no 'can't' in our house and there are no ceilings to potential. So, can I lie down and give up? Nope. If I fight the odds, my kids know they can too...

Dizziness and nausea can make even lying on the couch hard.
I hope you can hike this weekend, it should be pretty.
Just stay away from the ledges, eh?
