I guess I won’t be going to the gym for a bit

[kluurs]

Yeow! So, before Mark asks, how is the amp?? Maybe try and exercise bike at the gym? Alternatively - go on Facebook Marketplace. You can procure one pretty inexpensively.

The gym bike would be my backup plan but I can’t do more than 30 minutes or so before I take a bunch of blood thinners and open up a vein.

Oh man that sucks. Random falls are so scary. A few weeks ago I randomly tripped on a toy and fell backwards before I know I was even falling full force. I landed on the ground realizing I came within 1” of my side (ribs!) hitting the corner of a 12” high metal box (a jumping box step for working out), I can’t imagine how much damage that would’ve done. Shudder.

Anyway, sorry again. That’s a fluke and sucks bigly.

[LuFins Dad]

Ouch. Heal up soon!

[Mik]

Welcome to old and indignity.

I’ve been in waiting for this.

[mark]

Oh man! How's the amp?

[Axtremus]

Sorry that you got injured.
Just go back to solid state amp.
Your aging ears probably cannot tell the difference anymore but your aging flesh and bone still can when you fall on one.

[jon-nyc]

The amp is probably ok since my arm broke its fall.

[Klaus]

Wow,v that's bad luck!

Did you try to blame somebody else for your predicament? I find that it always helps if I can direct my wrath at somebody different from myself.

[AndyD]

It'll heal.
When someone says to me "I'm off to the gym to get fit" I reply
"Fit for what?"

@jon-nyc Hope you are feeling better

[Mik]

Update?

[jon-nyc]

Still not working out, going to the gym every day to do 30m of brisk walking on the treadmill.

Ribs are better than a few days ago but I’m still afraid to get on the bike or put any strain on it.

I’ll be going to get the stitches looked at today. Last week he envisioned them coming out yesterday but it doesn’t look ready to me.

[Mik]

Sounds like it is going as well as can be expected. Glad to hear.

[jon-nyc]

Yeah, I didn’t mention it here but I went on Monday to get an xray and confirmed the rib wasn’t cracked or broken. So I should be all healed in another week or so

[brenda]

You're a tough dude, Jon!

Yeah, it’ll be next week the doc said. My guess is Wednesday or so.

I think I’ll try to get on my bike tomorrow. Seems like I should know in short order if it’s going to bother my rib area or not. I’ll probably either ride 30 miles or 200 meters. lol

Yeah, your ribs will let you know in short order.

Jon's just getting old.
