9 Month check up

[Terry45]

Just had my 9 month check up with CT scans. Everything was good and surgeon had no worries. He spent alot of time with me going over the original CT scans and comparing the two. Next checkup is in a year! I told him I had been bass fishing and on the lake by myself and had been running again. He pretty much told me I can do whatever I want with no restrictions. He is an older guy and believes once you have had a disection you should take it easier because another disection is possible and he thinks I shouldnt run . Of course he laughed when he said it because he knows I'm going to run anyway, then waved his hand and told me not to worry I'd be fine! The next morning was a beautiful spring day in Savannah so I went out to the park where my "event" occured back in August and I finished my run! Been a long time coming and that run is now in the books!

Great to hear that everything went well with your check-up and your run. Always good to return to our normal activities. I'm somewhat surprised your surgeon was uneasy with running. I was told no restrictions. Period.
