^ I remember when I did something similar to my neck!
Man that pain medicine pissed me off! :P
Mood swings like no other.
Hope all gets better for ya fishy :P
It sucks to be over 30.
Hey fish... Lol on the doc comment :) I'm well aware of this +30 and playing sports with the older kids... One game of backyard football with my boys and I'm on the couch for 2 days.
Get better. You will and then you'll think you’re invincible again.
Ah, my sixteenth birthday is coming up. Y'know, almost half your age. XD I get the thing about the pain meds, though. If you look back in general somtime around the end of may you will find a thread by me called somthing along the lines of "I am stoned"
Pardon my rudeness, I cannot abide useless people.
We have statewide olympic style games called the Iowa Games that are hosted in my town. Having just moved back to this area I was unfamiliar with how big they are. My employer offered to ante up entrance fees for any interested employees, so I figured what the he**. I looked up some results from previous years for my age group (35-39) and didn't see any for my old high school event, the 100 meter dash. Cool, I thought, I can get a 1st place ribbon and a tee-shirt just for showing up.
On the day of the race it was 95 degrees and 95 percent humidity. I think it was 100 + with no breeze on the black rubber track. I had an active job and disc golfed regularly so I figured I was in good enough shape. I did some stretching for the first time in 10 years and figured I was good to go. I had worn an old white tee shirt and some leisure shorts with spandex waist and my walking sneakers. The other (surprise) 12 participants looked like and were dressed like olympic athletes complete with spike shoes. I'm pretty sure they figured I was looking for the special olympics.
My high school coach had taught us something called the gather, which is a counter-intuitive technique where you go limp for a step when you start to tighten up. Usually you only need to do the gather once after you've hit top speed and are nearing the finish line. Every third step was a gather for me in this race. :'(
I actually beat one guy in my heat but while walking back on the infield I got tunnel vision and started planning my fall to the ground. I didn't fall but I did discover what hernias were that day. :S I think I'm going to have to wait a few years before walking away with a 1st place ribbon.
Get well soon fish.
Ouch fishy, that sucks. We had a guy on my baseball team go down with a hammy last year, and it was ugly. But we all decided to play softball this year, being in the 35+ age group and all, and he's back, good as ever. You'll be back to bulletproof before long, and I'm sure the in-game comments will be that much more colorful on the pain meds. XD
And just think: if you're feelin' crappy about bein' laid up at home, you can always call the good doc for a little ego boost. Wear your chastity belt though, and shower immediately after.
Good luck bud.
Nothing -> sprinting is a good way to hurt yourself badly. I've pulled certain ligaments just doing a run down the (PV) runway without jogging and stretching. Get well soon.
Hope things will get better... That's gotta hurt!!!!!
Get well man
Prompt recovery fish, look on the bright side , well at least tell us if you find one.
Hey BC I'm willing to pay big bucks to get a video of that competition. Especially with scenes of your face when you notice the Others in their killer suits.Geez I'm still laughing just imagining it, your walking sneakers, what are those Tree torns.
Take care BC you made me laugh I now have a permanant smile on my face.
We love yaz fishy! Get well soon! :) P.S. --- Ouch! X/

I hear that fish. I still think I can do what I used to do and also can't
I played softball for a beer league for 8 years and then tore my rotator cuff. I was playing left field and attempted to throw a runner out at the plate. I got the runner. The bad news, I puked immediately after tossing the ball. There was an audible rip and what felt like a lightning strike extending from my finger tips to across my chest. The pain was so intense that I spewed. All the years of playing and coaching ball finally did me in.
My jackass of a friend James was playing center field at the time. He took the opportunity to goof on me with the old man quips and I'm a sissy for getting hurt while playing softball. About one month later I met James at a bar to watch a football game. I hadn't seen him for a while and figured he was just busy. Well, he entered the bar on crutches that day. I'm like dude, what the hell happened. He said that he tore his hammy and needed surgery. I asked why he didn't tell me. Then, his wife blurts out, "He got hurt at his work picnic during a KICKBALL game."
Yah, the goofing on him has never ceased from my end.
We're both still in the beer league but just for the beer.
Like a midget at a urinal, I was going to have to be on my toes.
Invite a retard to a picnic and you'd better expect to get drool in the potato salad.
Sorry to hear that. Take it easy and recover feel.
Remember guys even if your body were in a good shape few years ago, but if you haven't kept good care from it after that. It won't be ready for intesive sports. Don't broke yourselves. Play it safe.
You don't have to let go of one rope before grabbing the other. But you'll have to let go of one if you want to swing forward.
Fish are always fast to recover, and I'm sure this fish is quite the same. Get well soon Fishtank.
Well I am over 30, and I keep fit!!! I cycle around Sydney everyday for about 10 miles, and on weekends I tend to do a longer cycle. I jog and swim on top of that, so I am trim shape. Strains and muscle spasms are the bi product of lazy people that dont exercise much, as a rule of thumb. But if you are happy with that so am I.
SK
Fish, you have a hamstring in your butt? Or was the thread-title not relevant?
^The tear is high on my leg, just below my right cheek.
^^ Wanna armwrestle, Mr. Trim Shape?
Thanks to all you well-wishers, I've got an appt with the Ortho monday, until then I'm enjoying my drugs.
Fishy and BC ROTFLMAO. Sorry to hear about the injuries though but enjoy the pain meds, some of them are good stuff.
I personally am a subscriber to the Fatherhood Aerobics and Strength Training Program (FASTP). Following this rigorous plan I have managed to keep my middle from expanding.
The exercises are spread throughout the day to maximize the benefit.
6 am. Drag wife out of bed by her heels to the chorus of 5 more minutes.
6:15 am. Drag wife out of bed a second time by her heels saying it's been 15.
6:30 am. Carry 30lb child in one arm. Diaper bag in the other (at least 30 lbs) and miscellaneous items in teeth out to the car.
6:32 am. Skillfully deposit child and diaper bag in carseet reminding yourself that you should park the #$%@ing car the other way on the d*** driveway as the door slams shut on your head (whose teeth are holding the misc. Items)
6:40 am. Carry the 30 lb child and the 30lbs heavier diaper bag to the babysitters.
7:00 am -4:30 pm. Work (this may include some light exercise such as walking several miles on uneven terrain carrying 50lbs)
5:00 pick up child from babysitter. Repeat the rigorous weight lifting to the car. Child is now awake and doesn't want to be put into the car seat. Spend 5 minutes wrestling with them (D*** young kids can bend in all sorts of directions).
5:10 pm Arrive home and park the car the wrong way on the driveway. Remove child from car seat and carry them and the diaper bag inside.
Evening exercises: These occur randomly though out the evening.
Hunch sprints: This involves sprinting full speed around the house/yard holding diaper in one hand and the child's pants in the other. The child is of course mooning you and running at top speeds.
Belly-Bounce Crunches: These occur usually a short time after the hunch sprints. You lay on you back the floor trying to catch your breath when the child runs and jumps on your stomach. In order to protect your internal organs, you flex your stomach muscles just before impact. This is closely related to the Crushed-Jewels Bounce and is only slightly less painful.
Bed-time weight lifting. Carry worn out child to bed then carry worn out wife to bed. Then… (edited this is a PG site).
Repeat 5 days a week. (especially the wife part).
^doing "it" will keep you fit...
Pray to GOD for him to reveal himself to you.
^^Wow V , another smile on my face. Good Stuff.
This post is a warning to all you 30+ old fogies out there. Remember: you are not the young stud you once were. Atleast I'm not.
My oldest daughter is on a summer softball league, and yesterday was the parents vs the kids end-of-season game. Fish gets up to bat, and blazes a grounder up the first base line. I take off like a rabbit, and make it about half-way to 1st... Before I rupture my hamstring. I didn't think of it 'till afterwards, but that is probably the first time I had "sprinted" in around 10 years. I was pretty athletic in my youth, but those days are long over.
So, needless to say, I'm out of work for a while. I'd like to say I could spend all this down time playin' around on the comp, but the tear is high on my leg, just below my right cheek. Sitting in the computer chair is bad.
Oddly, the most uncomfortable part of this story was when the doctor, upon completing his examination, puts his hand on my thigh and says: "Big man. Lots of muscle." My wife is still ripping on me for that.
I'm sure I won't be able to resist playing TT, despite the discomfort, but if I start getting a little goofy, remember that I'm taking Hydrocodone and muscle relaxers. %) :S
