Grounded For A While - Again

Uncle Phil · Jul 26, 2016

Well, what happened to my right ankle two years ago has now happened to my left ankle - acute tendonitis. I now have the latest in orthopedic footwear for at least 4 weeks. Fortunately I saved my boot from the last time so I at least saved that expense. Once again, another orthopedic adventure for Uncle Phil. :hurt1:

Sorry to hear UP, hope you are up and at it soon!

SteveST1300 · Jul 26, 2016

Sorry to hear that Phil so you know what to do to get better. I know how painful tendonitis can be. Heal up and get back on the road!

ST1100Y · Jul 26, 2016

Bummer... get well soon UP!
(hope it doesn't take the usually predicted 3~6 months till fully recovery...)

davidrider · Jul 26, 2016

You sure you couldn't just reschedule your 4 week break until winter? It would work much better there.
Well as my Grand-Pappy used to say, get'in older sucks but... beats the alternative.

Dang, sorry to hear that Phil. Hope it heals up in time for BRG... we'd be lost without you!

nerSTeve · Jul 26, 2016

That sucks. But you know what that means? Less riding = more shopping/farkling.

Bigmak96 · Jul 26, 2016

Sorry to hear this U.P. I hope things go as well as they possibly can.

SupraSabre · Jul 26, 2016

That's a total bummer! Sorry to see this Phil! Hope it heals fast!

Mellow · Jul 26, 2016

Well that sux... but you're a fighter so I know you'll hang in there and do what needs to be done.

Gizmo · Jul 26, 2016

You know this isn't one of these buy-2-get-1-free things, right?!?

Sorry to hear about this setback. Hopefully your recovery period will be on the low side of the range.

beeker · Jul 26, 2016

Sorry to hear that news Phil. That inflammation can be a tough nut. Hope it calms down soon and you are back on the road in August.

georgiast · Jul 26, 2016

Sorry to hear UP, but I'll bet that "bear hug" tendon is still working nicely! Take care!

skipcurt · Jul 26, 2016

Sorry to hear the bad news UP. Hopefully you get 'er taken care of before BRG.

Feel better soon UP..

vinny · Jul 26, 2016

Sorry to hear this Phil... by the time you get all those parts replaced, you will be the forum's million dollar man. er huh.... hybrid. Hang tough, you'll get through it!

Mark · Jul 26, 2016

Sorry to note that you're out for the next while...
Prayers for a full recovery.

Ken H · Jul 26, 2016

Bummer Phil. Sorry to hear that. If there's an upside at all its that if you're going to be sidelined for a while at least its in the middle of the summer when its too hot to do any extended riding anyway in your neck of the woods.
