Hi
I had a PM fitted this week so have much information , however there is some conflict of opinion with regards to activities.
Can you tell me of snow skiing should be avoided(seriously hope not ) or OK to continue?
I'm a beginner who stays on blue runs and perhaps if pushed short reds. I fall often, these falls are becoming controlled and are no longer "helicopter" crashes. Hope to hear some positive replays. Steve

Thanks for the feedback! Skiing 2014 seems on the cards

I was told when I got mine not to play around or get hit near or on the area. If you fall and roll to the other side you would probably be ok. Just my 2 cents worth

Why should you NOT ski?

Do you pl;an on doing a face plant in the trunk of an oak? It's a long time till ski season will be upon us, so there is plenty of time to get back in shape & for everything to heal before your first encounter w/ the bunnies.

Rog is correct.

As you improve, you can take up greater difficulty slopes.

BPM limits for skiing

by 2for1 - 2013-12-02 09:12:13

I had a PM put in this October, and just went downhill skiing last week (6 weeks later). It felt great.

But prior to that I did a lot of trial exercise, got the upper limit on my PM raised from 130 to 180, and did a stress test. You might want to try out comparable exercise levels prior to skiing, and make sure your heart is paced appropriately for them.

I have had a PM since 1987, and have never had any problems with any sports what so ever.
I live in a country with long winters and ski lovers (Norway)
I have gone skiing, skating, sledges and so on. I have fallen many times. The funny thing about having a PM is that one gets very wary of it and always seem to manage to protect the area from accidents :-)
Enjoy your skiing :-)

Thanks for your feed back
