I'm down :(
- Thread starter jmeadlock
- Start date
It's Almost always riding season... diagnosis:
Hand stuff:
- Operation did lots of temporary damage to all hand tendons. Need to get them moving so they don't sieze... Gotta be especially careful of the new thumb/index tendons.
+ If I didn't go for the thumb replacement, wouldn’t've noticed bad index finger damage, and other damage I don't understand; index tendon was close to torn
+ Repaired index tendon with old thumb tendon
+ Replaced thumb tendon with a somewhat redundant ring finger tendon
+++ I should be in good shape tendon-wise after.
Rehab:
week1-4 A pretty easy rehab thing (40min/day), 3 trips to pns per week.... If I hyperextend the index or the thumb this month I could be in worse shape than I was... So wearing something to prevent that during bumps/falls/whatever is wise.
Week5-8 ???
If all goes well, week 9 back to normal. (but weak)
I plan to get a hand restraint that won't let the fingres move when falling, and resuming one handed riding Aug04 (after next doc appt).
I'm thinking mount short 0" handlebar below umi turn plate whose center is at the pivot point (with room for throttle, killswitch... would need maybe 1/2" taller mounts for the straight bar so your hand fits.... (One hand setup)... whatcha think?

All these tendons damaged in all these digits - somebody has been working that hand a little too much... :Banane01:
Seriously, hope the rehab goes well. Being laid up for a couple of months in riding season SUCKS - figure out a way to keep from going nuts.

Sounds like you've been working too many 12 oz weights at the Flora Bama. Don't damage it again and get better.

Sorry I missed the rides MILF; had fun with y'all anyway; congrats!
Just got the go-adead to use flexor muscles in the forearm gently...
Went from 10 degrees finger movement to 45 in a day... cool; improvement... need to get to 170 or so. Will be riding Sep 1st if all goes well
(Maybe sooner if I ride carefully)
