My doctor said the surgery went well. He also said the nerve that was being pinched was more compressed than he expected. He told me that I would be on the longer end of the recovery period but that I should be playing golf in 12-14 weeks and that I should be close to 100% by January.

I’m stuck in bed for the next 3 weeks but my ski jones jumped from a 1 to a 5 after hearing I would be good to go for skiing this upcoming season. :spread::daffy::spread::daffy::spread::daffy:

Thats great news. I was wondering how you were doing. Is that a permanent fix? I am feeling 60-70% better since my injection. They are going to schedule another one soon.

Hopefully it is a permanent fix. From the research I have done some people it is a permanent fix and for others they may require a second surgery 10 years down the road. Good luck with the injection. I hope you have better luck with it than I did.

My ski jones was at zero and then we got a flyer in the mail from our ski club today announcing a whistler trip for 1600/person. Now it is at 11.

I've been stoked pretty bad lately. After the 4th, the jones starts to come back pretty strong. And just think, probably less than a month now until the 1st issues of the new year's ski mags start to come out. Buyer's guide and all!

Yeah, thanks for that. I'm having trouble keeping it subdued as well.. I'm still not doing too bad though, 4 or 5 I guess I'd put it at.

I'm chomping at the bit pretty good right now.

I've spent a lot of time on this site in the past couple weeks... I was talking to one of my ski buddies the other day and she was saying that she had been thinking about it recently too... It's turning into a long summer for me.

I hope SR has skiing on Halloween again... I'll be there.

Ski Jones is elevated. I'm loading up the current email from the ski club listing all the trips. Shwing!

KOPSC week-long ski trips are limited to
Taos, New Mexico; Vail, Colorado;
Banff/Lake Louise, Winter Park, Colorado
and Snowbasin and Powder Mountain, Utah

Not too shabby a selection.

It's getting real bad now. I like summer but it's been +- 95 degrees for many many days now. Sunday hit 102, that's too hot for me to run or bike after work. I'm ready for fall now!

I'm crossing off the Banff/Lake Louise trip. It's split up at 2 hotels which is unsteezy. I like to unpack and pack once. and that means at least a half day or more downtime bussing to another location. No thanks, looks like Bavaria/Tirol early feb and Taos late feb. This calls for some smallness and quality tune selection, tout suite :)
