Paul McBeth #27523

It sucks that it will cause him to be late out of the gate this year, but hopefully it's one of those things that once it's addressed properly and heals, it won't linger. And also hopefully there are things he can do with the boot to keep the rest of him on track to start the year ready to go.

Do you think he would still be able to work on putting?

I still rode my BMX with the boot on, but I was young and dumb.

Alot going on with Paul, why not have his own thread.

No surgery for Paul, which is a good thing!

Paul used to come on here and comment from time to time. I'm sure he's just beyond it now. Even used his name, PaulBMcBeth as the handle iirc.

He still pops in from time to time.

Yeah especially when you turn your ankle, there's probably a good period of disbelief that it's so much worse than a sprain, and a bit of procrastination to get it checked out.

Likely did have it checked out pretty quickly. Bone bruises are pretty rare. He would have had an xray to rule out a fracture. Once negative, the conclusion would have been a soft tissue injury, until symptoms persisted. Then a doc (and the insurance company) would have green lighted a MRI to look for ligament/tendon/bone bruise validation.

I feel sorry for his practice basket and the 50 Lunas he's going to beat up while stuck in the boot.

He was logged on the other night. He must be a night owl because he's usually on after midnight.

I'd bet he at least checks what folks here are saying about his signature discs.

Interesting. Immobilizing the ankle to heal something like this? Would love to hear some physicians thoughts on that... seems odd, to me. But I'm not an expert, I just go off of second hand info gleaned from PTs I hang out with so I'm just being skeptical, not stating that I know it isn't the best strategy.

Almost all top professional athletes are notoriously overtrained, talk to any athletic trainer and they will tell you half the battle is getting their athletes to back off and rest.

Probably sound advice, Paul has the skills, I'd wager him taking time off and resting is the best thing for his game.

Yea...I'm totally a stalker and not someone with insomnia that happens to look at the currently active user list once in awhile when I'm bored in the middle of the night...

In all my years posting here, I have never checked the active user list. You must be really bored.

Can confirm. Used to check active user lists in forums all the time. Used to never sleep either. Can't tell you the last time I checked that list but I have been sleeping much better

Paul, if you're reading this... Do not reply.

Now we'll know for sure.

Have kids.

 

[Flick Maniac]

I have one. Soon 5yo though. And we had a good trick to get her sleeping soundly in her own room early on (like 9 months old), so cant complain (anyone with kids can PM me for that trick, so we dont take this thread any further off topic... )

He was logged on yesterday.

Wait, we can log off?
