Hey everyone, welcome to my reality over the past few weeks. Constantly worrying about my situation & how I can improve or get better on the road to Recovering from Distal Bicep Tendon Surgery. Today is the 10 day update, where I anticipated being in my brace, but here I am getting a cast for another week. For such a low impact injury this has been a pretty stressful experience, but being on the other side of it & starting to feel like I'm making forward progress is the most amazing feeling that one can ask for. Thanks for all of the love & support everyone. - Ben

I've never surfed in my life, yet here I am as a subscriber. During Covid, JOB came into my youtube feed. I was bored while working from home and watched. In one of Jamie's episodes, you were in it. At that point, I started following both you and Jamie. Not for the surfing, but what you both are as incredible humans. So, while you think your episodes are about surfing, but in reality its much deeper than that. This setback is only temporary. And while you can't surf, I'm more than happy to watch your daily life (along with Denny boy). A day in the life of Maki vlog would be awesome as well.

I don't do high risk surfing. I am just an older man that loves to boogie board surf the beaches of Anastasia Island. Surfing is just for fun. If you make a career out of it, you are living on the edge. Hang in there Ben, 6 months is not long at all. Find the silver lining behind the clouds and know that the Sun is always shining somewhere. The great spirit in the sky has life lessons you must learn.

As someone who is getting older and been through a lot of injury, I now realize how important it is to work on total body strength. You bounced back so quickly last time you just went straight to surfing. Would be so good for you to continue working on the things you're doing with the rest of your body. Total body strengthening is the key to longevity and preventing injury when you get older my friend. Look what it did for Fanning. And you know we won't leave you, quit stressing that one. I think you already know your fans are different than most

Ben Gravy "cruise out the back"? In what reality??? LOL! The length of time they've got you in casts & braces is really short comparatively. You've got this! Remember it's just a process. Six weeks after heart surgery they said I could start doing my morning floor pop ups again. I tried but had to crawl up from the floor LOL! So I started doing pushups off the wall working further & further away as I got stronger.. It came back pretty quickly and that's without the expert help you've got. Surfing is awesome but whatever you want to share with us is fine! Give Jamie & Tina my best wishes for many years of happiness!

This seriously hit home for me. At 52 I just tore my distal bicep the same way on small surf at Venice S Jetty. I decided not to have surgery. Thanks for sharing your journey Ben.

Few years ago when I blew my latest knee out I was a day home from surgery...teetering on the edge mentally. You came up on RU-vid talking about your journey and your mindset. You were there as a champion of possibilities in a time where it's hard to see em. You'll be back you've never really left.)

@exxotixjeff2822 2 месяца назад

I know how you feel, I’m just getting back into surfing after 3 years break,and I’ve strained the muscles on my inner thigh left leg, just from sitting on my wide long board,not as bad as yours but using the clutch on my car worsened it to the point of agony just getting out of bed, limping around with a broomstick.You have to deal with the pain and the inability to surf.Just when I was getting over it I started driving my car again and the pain is back as bad as ever. Good luck with your injury!!

Hi Ben and Jordan, my bride of 35 years and I tuned into to you a while ago and have been throughly entertained and inspired. Our passion is marriage and loved seeing you two marry each other. We've traveled the world encouraging mind blowing marriages. We sent you a book when you got married about the Enneagram which is our first tool we teach. Might be a good read for you two while your healing.

Eish mr Gravy.....sucks beyond belief. Im a 49 year old swimming pool builder, tried to be a hero....yanked on heavy sand filter and blew my shoulder. Had a shoulder surgery 8 months back and @ around 90 % but have not paddled out yet. Tried 2 months back but it was a S*%^T show. Any way Ben. You will make it through and will have good and bad days. Your Fan base is here because you just the most rad dude to hang out with.... Surf no surf!

keep your head up I just had hip surgery 30 days in just started to walk again normal I probably got another two months of recovery. God bless you. You’ve got this gravy.❤❤❤❤

@mattgurin6168 2 месяца назад

Hey bro I'm 9 weeks after having my first hip done and in 3 weeks I'm going to have my second. Really feeling good and take advantage of all the physical therapy you can. Whatever your insurance company your bank account will allow physical therapy is your best friend. Keep walking as much as you can do all the exercises they say, even when you're laying in bed, still do your quad and your glute contractions... Use everything as a way to keep building up those hips. At 9 weeks on my right hip I'm now starting to be able to walk without any discomfort, although on my left hip is bone on bone so it's kind of difficult cuz I still need a walking stick. I'm 59 years old and happy to tell you that I'm feeling so much better the last few years have been rough. Almost 40 years of surfing in a lifetime of athletics I'm just glad medical technology is what it is and that God has blessed this time for repair and recovery. I'm sure you've got to be feeling heaps of relief, just remember man physical therapy is the key right now. He may still be taking some tramadol or a mild pain reliever but you're going to be off that stuff real quick. Hope your recovery is coming along well 🤙🏼

Hello Ben, consider the following. Kelly slater broke his leg, that guy broke his back at Nazareth. Then there is Bethany Hamilton ( i knew bethany before she was born)she had her arm bite off at dumbstruck. Dumptrucks, what a wave that is,I got the wave of the day barrel in the summer of 88. So, here is my summation, you will go through all the rehab it takes to get back in the water. Your vlogs of recapping well be inspiring to all the other surfers who have and will get injured this year and years to come. Most people do not understand how dangerous surfing is.

@werepat 2 месяца назад

Maybe you can begin to change your total focus on you surfing toward helping others? As I've gotten older and been less able to go skateboarding, I turned more to surfing, but now I'm sort of aging out of that, but what has given me a lot of joy us building DIY concrete skate spots. Essentially setting things up for the younger generations to help make their journies easier.

Wow, you're so fortunate and you're definitely young enough to make a full recovery. Maybe consider there's a lot of things happen to people that they don't have the kind of support structure that you have. You're going to be fine stop the whine, use this opportunity to come back stronger I know you've got tons of people trying to give you advice and encouragement along the way, but this is just another brick in the wall of Life man, you are lucky. Seems like you're still kind of trying to fight the reality, layoff driving with one arm just listen to the doctors and when you get a chance to start physical therapy go out at 100%. You're dropping videos that are old, bring everybody up to speed in the actual timeline that's going on right now. What's been going on in the last 3 weeks or are you just too frustrated to share, come on man you got this

@coryvreckan 2 месяца назад

In case they didn't tell you, rotate your shoulder joint on a regular basis, every day. Otherwise it can freeze up with scar tissue in the socket. This happened to me when I broke my arms and no one told me about the shoulder issue. PT is painful and unnecessary.

If you think about it a wetsuit is a neoprene type brase and is supportive . The injury is surprising as in surfing there is not allot of bicep action . I don't remember my biceps burning during surfing . Shoulders and back yes . You may have set this up doing another activity and just finally popped even while surfing .
