taylornickyI wish I had the answers....
dkirseThis is very mysterious. Everything okay Taylor?
pookieshredsMy boyfriend and I just moved to mount hood for the summer, I love him to death but I need some girls in my life. I'm actually starting to get desperate....... I know there's some rad lady's on here in the area. Let's go skiing, hiking, grab a cup of coffee or anything really.
dkirseSo i've gotten totally used to the idea that my ACL injury puts me out of skiing for a minute but now it's summer and my surgeon hasn't cleared me to hike, bike, swim, run, etc yet and i'm super bummed and anxious like I JUST WANNA DO FUN THINGS
yelselwhhhatt? you should've been cleared by now. I've been out and about hiking and whatnot for about a month, granted I've kept the brace on for those excursions just in case.
and bike?? get on it. that's the BEST thing you can do for it.
I have 2 weeks of physical therapy left and then that's it. I'm stoked to be moving on but it's bitter sweet because I love my therapist.
dkirseNo way. Why am i not cleared? It's been 6 weeks since i got my brace off and i've done little hikes, but nothing extensive. I've also been using a stationary bike because i haven't been cleared to start cycling yet....I figured it was due to the risk of falling.....
I have a meeting with my surgeon next week (7 week mark) and hopefully he'll clear me for SOMETHING. I realize that jogging/running takes a while to get cleared for, but i'm itching for it.
I think I'm about the same therapy wise. I've been going to PT twice a week and kind of feel like i'm growing out of all their exercises...
It's going to be bittersweet to leave for sure. But exciting.
yelselThat's what I'm trying to figure out since you had surgery like a week before I did.
Dont do any running until you're around the 12 week mark and you feel it back to "normal". if you're growing out of the exercises at PT, try a different place. Mine pushes me every single day. Honestly, I'm lucky I got assigned to this one chick or I'd be a cripple working with the other tards at this facility.
It's really amazing how this type of stuff differs across the board. I didnt have to wear a brace at all, except when I did long walks or hikes with the dog and its only one of those simple neoprene ones.
dkirseYeah what the heck... We got surgery at the same time and you're cleared to do stuff, so I should be too? My knee and I are friends now and I trust it a lot, not enough to run, but enough to at least do SOMETHING.
Man, I'm going to check out other PT places. I feel like I should be good to go to start doing more extensive rehab.
What kinds of exercises are you doing?

yelselExactly my point. Why can't you do this stuff or at least be ahead of me time wise?
We do a lot of different stuff every week but keep the basics the same. I start out with the stint and a hot pack for my stretches (pretty sure I sent you a PM a ways back with those listed) and then move on to use those rubber band things (wtf are they called) to do more exercises, balancing exercises, elliptical, stationary bike and even started using the machines for leg presses and hamstring curls-one legged leg presses too. Go me! Monday we started doing a more extensive agility training with lunges, forward and backward jumps and lateral too. She knows I'm a skier and I NEED to be stronger than I was prior to this obviously.
My right leg is like the HULK of my legs now but my left one is getting there. If only my hamstring didnt swell up on me from time to time though when that happens, she just hooks me up to the ultrasound and works her magic.
safarisamAre you doing PT at ROC?
dkirseJesus....I'm not doing ANY of that stuff. I use like one machine to stretch my calves and hamstrings, the stationary bike, I do these step-ups/step-downs exercises, tons of squats and side-steps with that rubber band thingy (I'm blanking on the name, too), and other than that I'm just doing like stretches.
I have not yet done a lunge, I wouldn't even think about jumping right now (even though I totes trust my knee), she told me I can't do leg presses or anything like that until I'm cleared to run.
Did I go to the wrong PT place?! Like I've been under the impression that I'm making hella progress....
My knee feels good and strong, I have zero pain...i guess I have a mental block because everybody keeps telling me I can't do certain things. I'm trying to come out of this injury stronger than I came into it. I feel like I'm stuck right now.
dkirseNo, where is that? I'm going to Galena Sport off of Mt. Rose highway. It's the one that the UNR student health center recommended me. Should I be going to ROC?
yelselThis amazes me to no end.
Do some research and find a facility that's within your network for insurance, has good ratings, etc. and go there and tell them what you want to accomplish. Sounds like you're being held back A LOT
safarisamGalena Sport is good!! The ROC is a bit more expensive but that's where I've done all mine. It's the Reno orthopedic center- they know their shit.
dkirseThis is so weird. I am definitely going to start researching other facilities...wow, i guess i am not accomplishing anything i want to accomplish.
Thank you for all your support and stuff through this! I'm still stoked we're going through this injury together.
MinggIt's actually disgusting to hear that there are girls very near and dear to our world who have gotten to where they are because they're someone's hook up.
MinggMaybe I haven't done the most awesome things in my life. Maybe I'm not exactly where I want to be and maybe I have a while to go before I get there.
But I worked my way to where I am. I started as a nobody and worked damn hard to get my first (relevant) job. I worked hard there in order to get my next job and now my current job.
You know what I didn't do? I didn't sleep around to get to where I am. And maybe I don't do "as much" but at least I got to where I am without opening my legs (:
Just saying.

safarisamnot sure if this is a subtle call out to someone or what.
Anyway, I need to cut my hair before I leave. Not sure what I want to do though.
Daphthis bothers me and it reads an awful lot like a petty callout. do you want a pat on the back for not sleeping with anyone high profile? well here ya go. whoop-de-doo. that doesn't mean that just because someone has fucked important people in the industry, that is the sole reason for them being where they are in "our world". from what i've seen the type of person who's main agenda is to fuck pros and attempt to sleep their way to the top, they get eaten alive in this industry and don't make it far at all. any lady i know who is doing well for herself is there because she's rad and talented, who gives a flying fuck if she's screwed around a little. idk, i guess i'm not the person to judge too much for someone's sexuality and think its pretty pathetic and reeks of jealousy when i see other girls shaming someone because they've managed to screw someone desirable.
Daphcut it short!! you have the perfect facial structure for it and when it was short in the past it was super cute.
safarisamDub post, but I was seriously considering cutting it short again!

taylornickyI just cut 10.5 inches off!!! Ahhhhh still trying to get used to it
dkirseLiterally got hired for a job a WEEK ago and I'm still not scheduled for training/working. I've contacted the hiring manager twice and she said I would start Friday. Which was 3 days ago. And then she said i would start Monday. Which is today. What the hell am i supposed to do?
I guess I could find a job in Reno, but i was really looking forward to hanging out on the lake all summer.
Summer without a job is boring as hell and everything feels like it's moving in slow motion. At this point i can't wait for classes to start again.
taylornickyTrade ya. I've been nonstop busy all summer long. I haven't gone to Tahoe once... And during the summer, I'm usually at the lake 4 days out of the week. It's killing me. I want to just have nothing to do and be bored for once.
Daphfuck i love getting tattoos. stoked i finally pulled the trigger on one i've been wanting for a while now. i'll post pics later when its not so fresh
dkirseDude pls pls trade with me. I'd KILL to be busy. I'm so stoked for my summer course to start in July.
taylornickyHahaha my summer course ends next week. I'm pumped. What course are you taking?
dkirseWait what haha that's so early. I wish mine would've started right after the semester ended...i'm taking journalism 108 this summer and i'm totally psyched about it!
taylornickyOh sweet! Is it the long session? I took the mini session, so it was only 4 weeks.
dkirseUhhhh it's from July 11th to August 12th so i guess it's a mini one too?
taylornickyYeah! A mini one. I love the mini sessions. It's awesome to finish an entire class in 4 weeks.. Especially in something like core humanities hahaha
dkirseSickkkk 5 days a week for 4 weeks. I'm psyched to be busy!! And god I have to take CH next semester and I reeeeally wish I didn't
taylornickyFuck ch classes. Which one are you taking? It's good that you're doing them early. I waited way too long haha
dkirseI'm taking 201. I heard it's the worst one so I want to get it over with first hahah. I'd honestly much rather just take another English class, CH sounds awful
