Lacerated liver recovery

[polexia]

Ugh - lacerated my liver downhill mtn biking last week. Grade 3 (out of 6). Feeling amazingly good 1 week post injury but I think I'm looking at 3 long months of non-strenuous exercise. Any chance anyone else here has had such an injury. I know 3 months isn't that long and quite frankly I am lucky it was not worse but I still feel so defeated. I lost 35 lbs over the past 18 months and mostly from exercise. Sigh.

Aw, that sucks! I'm glad you're okay though.

Oh man! Best wishes for recovery. I hope you find something you enjoy to help stay in whatever shape you can.

No advice, but good lord. My liver is cringing just thinking about this. You poor thing, that must have been awful.

No advice from me either, just a 'holy crap'! Was it immediately apparent what had happened? Like a big gory injury? Yikes! I hope your recovery goes smoothly.

That sounds awful! I only gained a couple of pounds during my 3 month "no running" period and I wasn't that great at watching what I ate. I just fit in easy cardio. Heal fast!

[polexia]

No, not gory at all. All bleeding was confined within the organ (thank god!). Did a brisk walk today and it felt good. I am hoping the doc ok's yoga in a couple of weeks.

Oh my! I've never really heard of this but it does not sound fun. Speedy recovery to you!!
