Going under the knife

[Jim Glassman]

Just a note to let you all know I'll be going in for surgery to repair the pec I tore in Venice last weekend. Also, going to have some shoulder work done that I was hoping to put off until the off-season; since my off-season has officially started. Good luck to you all the rest of this year.

[ScottDowney]

Injuries suck, recover fast brother

[Jacob Sauter]

Good luck :)

[Jim Glassman]

Thanks for the well wishes. It now sounds like I may need two seperate surguries, ugh. Makes sitting on the couch watching NASCAR look like a good hobby. Anyway, I'll update later in the week on how thigns go.

Thanks again for all the prayers.

Jim

[Josh Thigpen]

Jim, this is skinny here. Hey man that sucks about your injury. Know that I am tossing up the prayers for you, and I know that you are going to come back stronger. And hey man I know your injured and all, but lets not talk about watching Nascar again, thats going to far. Seriously though man give me a call.

[MarshallWhite]

good luck to ya! and I hope you have a speedy recovery.

[Dave Ostlund]

Heal up fast big man!

[Dan Harrison]

I know the older you are, the longer it takes to heal from injuries, so we can expect Jim to be back competing in what...maybe 10 or 12 years?

Just kidding big guy. We all hope you get well fast so you can keep kicking ass.

Very funny little man! I don't 30 until December so I'm not as old as I look.

[Dan Harrison]

LITTLE MAN! Wow....that hurts. I could still put up the 5 stones you were SUPPOSED to put up but you had to fake that injury....gosh....

Good, now I can look forward to getting healthy so I can pou the hurt on you at Odd's place. I used to have Travis and Josh to beat up on; maybe I can make a pro out of you too. Time will tell.

I was bummed out that I couldn't bust my ass more at the end of june when you guys were all up cause I was saving myself for the Pro-Am in Minnesota. NEXT time though, I'm gonna keep up with everybody on everything. I want everyone to beat the shit outta me! When they come, I'll be ready. I'm used to limping away from Odd's house anyways...

I wonder when everyone is planning to all come down to Odd's again. Can't wait!

[kara]

best of luck! you'll be backin no time. i went under tuesday for my acl reconstruction, meniscus repair and bone fracture crap...woo hoo! all my thoughts and prayers are with you for a smooth operation and speedy recovery!

[Jesse Marunde]

wow Kara! I am so glad for modern medicine. Scary pic! Can't wait to have you back in full force! Stay positive both you guys!

Jesse

[kara]

thanks jesse! you're it's amazing what they can do these days. my surgery was a breeze even compared to how they did it 8-10 years ago.

jim, please keep us posted. i have a feeling you're gonna be back fast and stronger that ever! :mag:

[Matt Meinrod]

Kara, I had my ACL done Sept 30th of last year, took 4 and a half months to be 100% back to normal. Doctors told me 6-9 months. I squatted 585lb. x 2 last workout and cleaned 405lb. x 2 this past Friday. Keep your head up, rehab that thing like crazy. ACL's aren't shit anymore!

[Jesse Marunde]

405x2 is some darn good cleaning! power or squat lean?

[Matt Meinrod]

Jesse - Hang w/ a quarter front squat

[kara]

405x2 is some darn good cleaning!

for real matt :KD:

4.5 months...that's awesome! thanks for the positive encouragement. 6 days post-op and the surgeon already told me to start back walking! gonna rehab like crazy. hope my recovery is as sweet as yours. congrats!

[Matt Meinrod]

Kara, how'd you do yours? Mine came in the 3rd quarter vs. Miami last season. Cost me mucho $$, but my comeback will make it all the sweeter. I wish you well in your rehab!

Oh yeah, what did they use? Patella, Hamstring, Cadaevor?

[Jim Glassman]

jim, please keep us posted. i have a feeling you're gonna be back fast and stronger that ever! :mag:

I'll make sure to post a pic after surgery this week. Although, even with the scars I'm sure these guys will enjoy pictures of your leg more than pics of my armpit!

i'm so sorry matt :( but kick ass on the 4.5 month return. you're my inspiration. any advice for me? my patellar was the real team player in all this...sacrificing a third of itself for my new acl. thanks patellar! :YR: i see you went with the allograft? too late now but i'm thinking maybe i should have done that.

Cool deal (not that you got hurt). That you play for FSU. I am a FSU alum, class of 1998.

[Jim Glassman]

mmmmmm, not so sure about that...lol! :disgust:

Well as promised here's a photo from yesterday after they removed the dressings.

My surgeon said the surgery went well, the tendon was completely intact so they just had to reattach the muscle. Also, scoped the shoulder while I was under and aside from some scar tissue and a bone spur said it looked great. I'll get the stiches out next week and will be able to start rehab in about 3 weeks or so.

Thanks for all the prayers and kind words.

Oh man, you are so lucky that you're broken and 2,000 miles away. There will be no more beating up on us; well, maybe on Joshy Poo.
:EP:


Kara- I hope you heal up fast. I would like to see you at another contest soon! :BL:

[Jim Glassman]

Trying to post pic again.

[Jesse Marunde]

Take care of yourself. I am sure you will come back stronger than ever.
