Still can't ride...

[flaggerphil]

The injury to my ankle I got in December still hasn't healed enough for me to ride. No longer in the boot full time but still on crutches much of the time and my ankle simply won't let me get up in the saddle. Very frustrating.

Really hoping I'll be able to ride by May, but just don't know.

On the positive side my wife has said if the ankle won't get to the point that it'll support me getting on my RT, I should buy an F3 and she'll take the RT. So that's something...

Very sorry to hear that you still cannot ride. A real bummer for an active rider. I am already feeling your pain.

Have you considered getting on the Spyder from the other side ???????....... I see you have an SE so is it your BRAKE foot that's the problem ????.........Mike :bbq:

Good question. I was going to ask the same thing.

In any case, flaggerphil, I hope it heals soon.

Very sorry to hear that you still cannot ride. A real bummer for an active rider. I am already feeling your pain. I have hip surgery coming up and know I will not be able to mount either of my RT's until everything is set well on the new hip.

I am going to take advantage of the next 30 days of riding--because then I will also be done for awhile.

Did you ever double check to see if you had any hip precautions with the anterior approach? I know someone said that he didn't have any with his anterior approach; but, I made mention there was a precaution. Just curious.

:agree: With Mike and Wylie... try climbing on from the Starboard side... :thumbup:
But it sounds as if your "Best-Half" is willing to consider some "accommodations" for your situation.
It's time to start shopping!!! :yes:hyea::yes: :clap:

I Remember

When I broke my wrist (actually it was broken for me by a kid running a red light) in 2007, I felt the same way. Tried to figure out how to get on the bike with an external fixator sticking out of my arm.
Just be careful to NOT jeopardize your recovery. You'll be back ryding soon enough!
