Question Return to sports?

Those of you with a permanent SCS, what sports do you participate in?

I've been told I can do adaptive skiing (sitting), walking, running, but wonder what else is generally safe.

Thumbs up Sportives

Howdy! Nice seeing ya PG!

I am returning to my bicycle! I have a mountain bike, and will be riding it on less severe terrain that was my custom before the wreck. But riding even on a street is OK. I have my cane mounted to the bike so I can ambulate if I get somewhere interesting during a ride.

Next year maybe, will try recumbent skiing at Winterpark [the world renowned handicapped mountain hereabouts].

Rogue, who graduated from us quite some time back and is back out reconquering life in her fashion as a retired Army soldier [well..... not retired in age, but not rangering anymore at this time.... lest she hit me for alluding to a possible oldness, which she does not have yet ]..... resumed things like Golf and Karate style combatives, if that gives you a handle on the stuff possible for a graduate of SCS implant healing!!

The world remains for us to explore and handle according to our post surgical capabilities!

Go for it!

Yup,

Default

I play pickle ball similar to tennis on a smaller court with a paddle and wiffle ball.
I've done biking, kayaking and yoga.
Good luck.
