Bloomquist to have hip replacement surgery???

[dirtcrazy4u]

Unfortunately CnB at this point in my life I've had 2 replacements. Right side was a total hip, left was not. I am not over weight, I climb in and out of my golf cart, which I could only do after 4 weeks. My golf game was over for 3 months, hip rotation. A good friend did not listen to his doctor, he had a partial, he thought he could start swinging a golf club after 3 weeks. He went down on the driving range and had to have major surgery to repair the damage. Am I doctor, O heck no, but I just don't see how he is going to be able to even climb in or out of the (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)pit of a slm. Let alone take the pounding in the seat. Remember the lap belt comes right across your hips. I wish bloomer the best and I speedy recovery, I just think this injury could lead to a premature end of a great career if he pushes it. Nobody knows what injuries he sustained in that crash in Daytona and he ain't tellin. Good for him, so we speculate.

I agree. If he was 35-55 and in great shape, ok. Scott ain’t, so I think just over a month is definitely pushing it. And yeah, if you jack it up while it’s still healing, dang.

I dunno. I think he should have got it all done at once. When he was laid up, get it all done.

But I’m not him, definitely not a Dr, so, is what it is.

Ten years ago when I was 48 I had total hip replacement due to arthritis caused by trauma to the hip playing football. The arthritis (inflammation) causes the ball and socket joint to rub together. The pain is excruciating and it is impossible to raise the leg without grabbing your pants to help lift. Just putting socks and shoes on virtually impossible and very painful. I got along very well and left the hospital after two days with just a cane. I would think two weeks minimum off work for a desk job and that would be very light duty. I could not fly an airplane for a month due to climbing into the airplane and operating the rudder/brake pedals. I think realistically for Scott to get into a race car is going to be two months, if everything goes well. There are a lot of things that can go wrong though, depending on the extent of damage to the hip. Hopefully he feels like a new man after the surgery. I know how awful he feels now.

Ok I'm not the Dr.ha ha but I had hernia and colon surgery in 2014 not quite the same but my recovery time was about 3 months yes I know I don't drive a race car but I w think Bloomquist should be on the sidelines for about 2 months so that would be somewhere around March 15th so then he would miss all February and half of March not good so he would miss about 13 races not good at all but I'm sure the KING of dirt racing will catch up ha ha now that's just my opinion just a guess but we will see what happens

Amen!!! 🖒👏

Like i stated earlier i had both done anterior. I dislocated my left one 10 days after surgery by moving how i shouldn’t. I had already been thru it once and got full of myself thinking i got this, yeah right!! You are lucky to knock one off in 6-12 weeks let alone take a pounding in or bicycle a DLM. If he makes the Show-Me or Dream weekend i will be impressed. about

^^^^^ agree

Realistic April or May, before that will be pushing it for a 56 yr old who is also a bit over weight. Toughness should not get in the way of waiting till your healthy. He may well regret it if he comes back to fast.

Here's my question. Why not just skip WWSO and have it done and already be like 2 weeks or more ahead. Madden is skipping but he is running the Xtreme race. I don't think it's just because of Drydene. Ricky is the primary driver carrying the sponsor anyways.

I think he’s having it done on the 10th of this month.
