I'm in fairly good shape for a 36 year old, I guess. I am stronger than I've been in my life since I started lifting weights 4 times a week about a year ago. I need to get back on the bike and work on my cardio strength though.

I broke my ankle on March 7th of this year. It was a bimalleolar fracture that required a 5" long plate w/five screws on my fibula and two long screws up through the bottom of my tibia. I was on crutches for about 8 weeks total. I'm still not 100%, but very close. I have a bit more to go with strength and range of motion. Riding a bicycle will help with this dramatically--I just need to set aside some time.

The only other surgery I've had was for an abdominal hernia back in 2001 or so. They put the mesh in and I haven't had any issues since.

I have some rotator cuff issues in my right shoulder, and I have to take Nexium for acid reflux, but that's about the extent of my problems.

When I first started dating my wife she thought I was a hypochondriac when I told her about my medical problems. Now she wishes I was one. Imaginary problems would be cheaper to deal with.

Since I've managed to not spill on a bike and do damge to my body,I do 20+miles cycling,work with weights 5 days a week,but I've had to cut back walking since I've developed a callus on the ball of my foot.

Well I shattered my ankle in the military in 1991. I had pins and plates put in, it got to where I could predict the weather with how they hurt so had the metal taken out in 1994.

I hope you got a VA disability for that,and are using the VA for some of the other problems.

PS:Thanks for your service!!!

ducktapehero · **Reply #47 on:** September 08, 2008, 09:25:17 PM

Yea, I get a little money(very little) from VA every month. Plus I get to use the VA hospital. Sometimes that's a blessing, sometimes...not so much.
