Well, STS will be on hold for me. Today I fell down our back steps and fractured my back. It's a copression fracure so they can't do anything for it. All I can say is OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I spent the day in the ER. Maybe Santa can bring me a new back. Oh and during the CAT scan, they discovered i have some arthritis in my neck. oh well, I'm just glad I can walk and there's no permanent damage. Wish me a spedy recovery. Happy Holidays everyone> Kay
 
I am so sorry to hear that.

Hope you have a speedy recovery. Gosh Darn It!

That's AWFUL!! I do hope that your recovery is quick! STS will be waiting for you when you are healed. Did they say how long it will take for the healing? I would imagine a couple of months? If you can't start STS for a few months, just know you aren't alone. I'm not starting it until I strengthen my post-surgery shoulder - which will be sometime mid-to-late February.

Hang in there. Healing vibes headed your way!
 
OUCH! I have been shuffling my feet like an old lady today on all the ice. We lost power last night for a short time, but a county over has no power and the trucks all went off the roads because of the ice, so they could not repair the lines.

Ice is terrible.
 
Ouch!!! I hope you feel better soon. Take the time to heal. I know that is easier said than done.
 
How terrible! I hope you plan to have people waiting on you hand and foot tomorrow so that your muscles can try to relax around that fracture. Take care of yourself!
 
OMG that's awful. I hope you're not in to much pain. Take care of yourself, and try to have a good Christmas.
 
Thanks everyone!!!!! I actually feel better this morning! My DH and DS and 2DD are a big help. Today I just feel VERY sore. It will take a few weeks I'm sure before I can even think of lifting weights. I go to my family doctor on Monday, we'll see what he says. Thanks for your positive thoughts:) Kay
 
Kay - I am so sorry that happened to you. My whole goal for this past month was to not be in the hospital over Christmas. I am so sorry you had to be there. Good luck and take care of yourself.

Thanks for all of your concern everyone!!! Mary, I feel better today-was on my feet too much yesterday. I've only used extrs strength Tylenol ONCE so far today. I was just reading up on compression fractures of the spine, and I just have to give it time. Most articles say 8-12 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!! Yikes! I watch a few minutes of Cathe on Fitv to get my Cathe fix. I got Imax 2 for X-mas, it will have to collect dust for awhile. I'm just glad I can still walk, at first I thought the worst. I had an ambulance ride and everything!(but no sirens) Thanks again everyone for your concerns, it keeps me going. Kay
 
Hi everyone! Doing much better today. the pain seems to be in the area by the fracture. I still can't bend at the waist. I go to the dr's. tomorrow and hopefully start some physical therapy. Has anyone else had this? I'm curious to know if I'll ever be able to put a weighted bar on my shoulders again for squats?, or leg press. Thanks, Kay
 
Sending you well wishes for a healthy and speedy recovery. Take care. I decided to waste some money and try the gin raisens for my arthritis. I have not felt any difference so far but it's only been 2 weeks.
