Paige underwent successful surgery

The one thing I found noteworthy is that Paige had surgery yesterday. I don’t know what her finals schedule looks like, but I had thought she might wait until after finals to get the surgery.

Whatever her finals schedule, the early surgery date tells me that Paige absolutely plans on being back on the court this season. Of course time will tell, but I certainly wouldn’t bet against Paige, or anything she sets her mind to.

I was wondering if she missed any final(s) due to this or maybe she had it done on Monday so she can take them...
Doesn't really matter though...
 
I hope Paige puts this season to bed. She should look out for her future. Coming back just in time for playoff basketball may not be a good idea. I hope they give her more time than she wants. Maybe the start of the NCAA or just before. No matter what we should assume she is not in the picture going forward until next year.

Or perhaps we can just trust the process while rooting for the team to grow stronger and more cohesive in Paige's absence.
 
Post-op Meniscus can be extremely variable
My surgeon recommended my purchasing some sort of a water machine
in order to combat pain and swelling, along with heavy duty pain meds...

But there was none...no pain nor swelling
And I wanted to get back on the court and start taking shots and skiing
after 2 weeks. And he said absolutely not...a month at least.

Just sayin.....

PPsssssttt. School? Come on Bueckers didn't come to UCONN for schooling. She came here for basketball. And even if she was interested in education, I'm sure she's got enough money now to pay someone to do that for her.
 
Wishing Paige a complete recovery.

Whether she returns this or not will be up to her, the doctors and Geno. She is going to want to be back on the court ASAP. We all know that.

So I will continue to support the team and watch them learn, grow and win while Paige is out.

Just remember, this happen for a reason.

Now why in the world should we assume that? That's not what the school put out. Should we assume they are intentionally lying?

By my count 8 weeks is FEBRUARY 8th, eight weeks from today.
The timing of the REHAB and it's progression should be
INTERESTING. It is all on MOMA "E" and the rest of the team
to make it happen in the next 8 weeks, or so. GO TEAM!!

and the NCAA's start middle of March - Omicron willing.

I know you’re tongue is planted firmly in your cheek, but surely you are aware that in addition to all her other accomplishments at UConn, Paige also made the academic honor roll last year.

Yes, we know. As punishment by the basketball gods for the arrogance on the BY about having too much depth, and 2 top ranked teams, and not enough minutes to go around. When will people ever learn?

Absolutely, she should be counseled to look at the big picture. Surgery recovery is different for everyone. This season could be history or she comes back for the tournament. Will she be able to do the things she did pre-injury? Remember, she has to get her body into basketball shape. I don't know. Stay tuned, film at 11.
 
would be very surprised if she came back on Feb 7th or 8th and was running up and down the floor like she was before her injury. i would give her about 3 games at least to have a modicum of hope to be normal Paige.

Yes, I think that like for all of the really bright kids in my classes years ago, these tests are just a minor inconvenience for PB.
 
So, a potential mid-February return. Looking ahead, UConn has a home game at Gampel against DePaul on Feb 11th at 7:00 pm. Imagine the ovation if that's the day Paige is back on the floor.

Right now, SNY has the game. I wonder if one of the big networks might be able to pick up the game. It could have huge ratings.

I'm not a doctor in real life, only on The Boneyard.... However, from personal experience, she should take collagen, glucosamine-condroitin (or Osteo-Biflex) and calcium to aid recovery. Speaking from personal experience, that combo has done wonders for joint issues I've had. In one case, I was in so much shoulder pain, I thought I needed rotator cuff surgery. I took these supplements for a couple months and am fine now. It also cured a hype cartilage impingement.

Just curious. Are you around Paige’s age?

That is exactly the way I interpreted it as well.
 
She's basically on the equivalent of the 60-day injured list. Could be 60 days, could be 100. Doesn't really matter because all it really means is "not any time soon." Taking the 8 week estimate verbatim is suggesting a level of precision and predictability that doctors don't have in terms of projecting the exact date she will return to the lineup. Even if she does try to come back this season I imagine it would be with lots of caution and limitations to the point it may not be worth it.
 
We don't know, they don't know, she doesn't know. As someone already said, everyone heals differently. We all want her back ASAP, but at what price. All we can do is let the doctors and physical therapists do their job and hope they know what they are doing. What we don't want is for her to have a relapse and put next year in jeopardy. We don't want to see a repeat of the Nika and Azzi problems that were carried over from the previous year. Hopefully she will be back, but in the mean time lets get Nika, Aubry, and Azzi off the bench. When they are healthy we will again be a very dangerous team.

Paige will have the best medical and rehabilitation care available. So, it could also mean 50 or 55 days. The staff will assure that she won't play until she's ready. But hard work and determination will play a huge part in her recovery. And I can't think of a single athlete who's been on this team that would have worked harder at rehab than Paige.
 
Please listen to the professionals not the speculations.
Pray Paige, Azzi, Aubrey, Nika and Piath to recover soon and stay health. I will be really happy if Paige can come back even in March.

Geno is steadfast that all bb players graduate. Remember Diana couldn't come back until she got her degree.

Add mag to the calcium.
