SiG Lady Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 Only because I made such a fuss on the Friday Flamer about it... X-rays today indicated there's NOTHING wrong with my hip implant. At all! Got a case of tightened tendons is all... that need stretching. Heck, I can live with that. And I can even FIX that. Now I can take that tactical class I've been wanting to take. Yessssss!!! PS--I won't complain about my hip any more unless surgery is required. (Stuff like this sure can scare you, though......) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhgtyre Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 Well, thats good news. You might even be able to stretch those tendons out during the tactical class! -ld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironman Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 That's good to hear but I had trouble walking for three days after the Tactical class that I took. Now that you are doing better maybe a little cross training prior to the class would be a good suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted June 23, 2003 Author Share Posted June 23, 2003 JE-- Yes, the tactical class is now taught regularly on a monthly basis (we just started it last month) and will require that I ask specifically what kind of bending and moving we'll be doing. From what I heard of the last class, it was not like IDPA or anything... So, I'll have time to decide on whether I CAN take it, or how much preparation I might NEED to take it. But I WAS counting on it and would still like to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironman Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 Sig Lady If you have the desire you can do anything. It just takes a little longer to heal now then when we were kids. Oh by the way I just got my wife the 229 in 9 mm. She loves it. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhino Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 Good news on the hip, SiG Chick! Whew! I'm taking a couple of defensive/tactical classes this summer too. I don't know whether I'm more afraid of the heat or the exertion or the exertion in the heat. If I get tired, I'll just rest. On a giant block of ice. It'll cool me off and slow the inflammation!

Skywalker Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 Heck, I can live with that. And I can even FIX that. SiG Lady, are you going to borrow Lynn's signature ("If it ain't broke, I can fix it") ? Seriously, glad to hear you're "loaded and made ready" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tightloop Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 Good news about medical matters is always welcome. Now get goin' and do what you need to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted June 25, 2003 Author Share Posted June 25, 2003 Total hip replacement, $26,000 Dr.'s visit with X-rays over false panic, $250 "If it ain't broke, I can fix it!", Priceless. Friend of mine describing sensations during a tactical shooting class (relative to his earlier observations about hip strengthening exercises): "It's good exercise! Useful too. I've always found that you don't feel like a wuss when jazzercising - if you do it while holding a deadly weapon." Hey, I'm looking forward to THIS!!! Now, what 3quartertime said to me about hip exercises was equally as "useful" but I can't print it on this Forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3quartertime Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 He He He ,,, Work the pain. Feel the drain... Drive that train!!! You ARE the woman... and you CAN make this happen. Oregon may never be the same!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted June 25, 2003 Author Share Posted June 25, 2003 Well, EUGENE, Oregon has certainly never been the same...! And it hasn't seen the last of me. I have thousands more rounds set aside for Eugene, Oregon, that's for sure. Oregon's got a lot to learn. Meanwhile, Dr. 3/4-time sez I can have as many (prescription) refills as I want. Yesssss!!!
