No wonder Loren seemed attracted to my friend who looks like a boy.

yeah, i heard about hat lemon kid :roll: ...made me feel lucky huh christian?

And hey loren...i was just talking to leah. thanks for the all the love and the flowers, every thought and prayer meant so much. my backs healing fast cause i never liked sitting still much, and if nothing else I'll see you all out on the hiking trails before long. it's so good to hear from you though. And congrats on the b/f.

hey jeffers, thanks for the story. that really is encouraging. my accident was similar and i my surgery was a pretty new one. so i haven't had many people to compare my experiance with.

I'm thrilled to see a bit of spark still left there... already asking about people who have made it back to climbing, very good sign :wink:

When I cut my thumb the doc said I would never play the piano again. I just told him "So... never knew how to play anyway". See docs don't know everything, he thought I played the darn piano :P.

If anything you can always stick to easy stuff that you wouldn't likely fall on for as long as it takes, at least you'd be climbing.

Maybe a chest harness would help balance out a fall. Could some chest harness expert speak up about whether or not this could help?

If all else fails, with all the latest technology out there I bet something can be invented that will totally isolate the injuried area from a fall.

Rock on Lora!!


PS: Christian, I believe that accident may have contributed to his out of whack route setting abilities at the gym. He must see everything a bit lopsided now :lol: :P.

I've had two different gym-induced tendon injuries. It's really, really frustrating to wait around for stuff to heal, but I'm glad that I gave it enough time to heal properly.

A friend of mine was climbing South Side of The Sky this past Friday Night (in the dark), fell, and very likely broke his wrist. Last I heard he hadn't gotten x-rays yet though. Maybe trying to onsight the more difficult cracks in the dark is dangerous after all.

A friend of mine told me about one of her friends who broke his ankle this past weekend when a hold broke on Nevermore...

I saw a guy lose a finger at roadside about 8 years ago. He got it sewed on and is still climbing, I think he is even a member of this bb. I was impressed with that.

I read an interview in one of the climbing mags about an amputee climber who did big walls at yosemite and said when he was hiking back to his car on his prosthetic legs, he felt guilty about parking in the handicap spot.

Jose from Chicago, fell placing his second piece on the Shining on Sat. Broke his Tibia. He was in good sprits on Sun. at Miguels. I'm sure he will climb again.
