Bloomquist recovery update?

[Southbound]

Surgery is tomorrow hoping for a quick recovery. I figure the pain from surgery has to be better than what he’s been dealing with thus far. He stayed in car during Vado races went in through roof and stAyed in all eve.

He very well may be back for Volusia, but he won’t be anywhere near 100%. He’s never going to fully recover from his injuries, he’s just gotta get used to the new normal for him. He’s excellent at adapting, so he will return to being competitive, but I do believe his dominating days are over. He’ll still get some wins now and again for sure, but the biggest threat out of that camp these days is Madden.

I tend to agree with you, but how many times have we said that before? I to think that, only to be proven wrong.

It’s different this time. He’s had life changing injuries.

As a fellow hippie, I would be very surprised if he was able to make Volusia. That would be less than a month since the surgery. The trauma to the hip is bad enough but what takes the longest to heal are the muscles that need to be cut/moved for access. Scott is in for a couple difficult months but once he is fully healed he will feel like a new man. I wish him luck. BTW, if anyone has the stomach for it, there are good youtube videos on total hip replacement surgeries.

Best of luck to him... I know medicine and surgeries have come a long way over the years, but I still would be surprised to see him back in a car that soon. I know it's completely different, but I had major ACL surgery back in 2006 and it was 6 weeks before I could walk without crutches... I couldn't imagine trying to rush back into a late model as serious as this is for him.

I don't know anything about hip replacement but i know alot of that stuff has come up leaps and bounds in terms of recovery time. My wife's grandmother recently had a knee replacement and walked out off the hospital the same day and she is in her 80's so it's possible. But i do agree that he won't be anywhere near 100% and it will be a one tough week for him if he runs.

Josh...

Bloomer has been through "life changing" incidences before. Whether it's physical or mental... he bounces back strong as ever. He has a strong desire to succeed and be on top. I don't see this having much of an effect on him as some people think it will. I see him doing what he has been doing for many years to come. Time will tell.

On average, recovery time for a hip replacement ranges from 6 to 12 months, depending on the patient’s age and condition. Time spent in the hospital after surgery is usually two to three days, as a hip replacement is not an outpatient procedure.

Says in the tweet he's going home tomorrow.

[HIGH ROLLER]

He starts jumping jacks this wknd to speed up recovery!

I bet he’s back in the car for Florida. I have had 4 hip replacements, my first was in 1991 when I was 15 and the most recent in 2015. I had my right hip done on Nov 1 of 2014 and I had the right done on Jan 5 of 2015. The process is so much better now and the pain is 1/4 of what it was in the 90s. If he was able to drive with his hip bone on bone he will be able to handle it a month after surgery. When it’s bone on bone the pain is in bearable and the minute you wake up from surgery you feel 50x better at least for me it was. They will just have to pas his seat up real good for the bouncing and rubbing against the scar

Thats typical of that guy(post 27). just look past it. If we all could do that and not point it out, there will be a whole lot less of it. Believe me, I do know. Try it....
