I think they wanted pikturs of aflineman's painted toenails...LOL.
Good to hear you're back up and ready to rock.
Learn offhand shooting. Might be a new skill?

Wishing you a fast recovery!
I'm glad you're still on the mend. Hopefully you'll be back shootin' again before long.
They did what, with your tenderloin? LOLQuote:

The blasted collar bone is the worst part of it. Hardly any pain just can't touch my collar bone with screaming like a little girl. Ice is your friend.:yawnb:
Having had my shoulder broken twice (no surgery) I was curious about what led you to need to have surgery.
With the ski season upon us and me going for it, I am painfully aware that if/when I take a spill I might not get so lucky.
This is my 4th right rotator repair. The first one tore due to fall. Once you tear one then the percentage for a retear is very high (sorry, Crash). The bone was remove to create a larger channel for the rotator hoping it won't happen again plus arthritis in channel, which leads to rotator irritation and tearing.
Left torn in fall out of attic. I tore it again this summer lifting the grass bag off the lawn mower. 8 pounds? Just the wrong angle I guess. Still have to get it done and left hand.
Just a bump in the road. We'll go to a VA rehab center or burn center and see some folks with problems. I don't have any.
It's my understanding that once a broken bone heals the break is the strongest part of bone because of amount of calcium laid down. You might break it somewhere else but not in same location if healed correctly.

It was the extraction of the hong that caused the pain. They had a choice of C4, a crane or acetone.They wound up using all three. I guess I need to stop wearing steel belted hongs but I considered it a safety issue. If that baby would ever snap while others are around it would make for some ugly headlines and no doubt leave a mark.
Sounds like a chastity belt to me. I guess Mrs. Rick has her reasons for making you wear one.Quote:

Nope. Not going there. Too easy.Quote:

If I ate yogurt 3x a week, I'd need a doctor and a plumber.Quote:

Prayers from us at the Highhawk Ranch.
You are doing the right thing in my opinion and that's discussing it with you doc.Sounds like an impingement issue but an MRI should tell them. Not a lot of room inside the shoulder. Toss in some extra calcium, bone spurs and/or scar tissue and you start squeezing stuff pretty easily.
Same here Rick,they say a year before they consider it a complete recovery,since they removed one of the vertebrae,they did take pieces of the vertebrae and reinsert it with the rods and plate,I am on a high calcium diet for the next 12 months,I have however gave up on the one a day vitamins I am supposed to be taking,because they were making me very ill. Glad you are up and about.Quote:

Ya know Rick, I bet if you had known you were going to live so dadgum long you would have taken better care of your self. <G>
Yep,the boyfriend confirms (bless his heart and all he has had to put up with:) ) that is is a titanium cage.
A single vertebra won't slow you down much once healed. I think a fusion is a 3% loss of range if I remember correctly. I had a C5-6 fusion in '94 but didn't need the cage. They just fused them. My only complaint is arthritis. I'll be glad when you can remove the neck brace. I know how contemptible that thing gets. That 1st shower without it is heaven.
I am wearing a c-collar right now......gggrrrr,I can remove it long enough to take a shower,but OMG,I have had to track down a dickie,because it is rubbing my chest so badly that it is quite raw,especially a mole I have on my chest (2d,I swear to God,don't go there...) I could not imagine having it on during the summer.
You can't look down even to eat. You can't open your mouth all the way. You can't look left or right without turning your whole body. They didn't need to waterboard the detainees just make them wear a collar. The good news is it really does come off some day. Hang in there.
You are sooo right,Rick,eating out at a restaraunt is totally embarassing,I mean HOW do you consistantly miss your mouth like that,good thing sweetie has a good sense of humour,because I think there have been at least a couple of times I have worn more food out of the establishment than I actually have gotten into my mouth,LOL
Bibs are part of your survival kit right now. How do you tolerate riding in the car? I would think every little bump would be felt in your neck.
Yep,car rides are a nightmare,especially here in the country where they "forget" road maintenance,and a particularly nasty stretch of 65,very rough ride. I have figure out that when we go out,it's soup and a straw and to heck with what anyone else thinks!
Glad to see you on your feet Rick. Prayers for all those that have mentioned ongoings here.
Thanks, Tresmon.
Nell, try to sit straight up with back not touching the seat when th bigger bumps can be seen (pot holes, RR tracks, etc.). It allows the vehicle to move without you moving more than if you sit back in the seat. Just lean forward. You'll be amazed in the difference. It won't make it a good trip but more tolerable.
Thanks,RIck,anything to make trips less painful is a big plus!!
I found out I'm stuck in this sling for 6 weeks until the bones heel. I can't shovel snow, do the laundry or even do house chores. All I can do is sit here and be waited on. This life holds no mercy.
I was in the harness for 8 weeks......I'm still making up for it.
I've never had to wear one more than a week or so. This is gonna put a crimp in my slovenly ways. Being a slob on your own is one thing but when folks expect it there's no challenge.
Chin up, I've got some ideas to make it all easier to bear. :whistling:Quote:

You're on the list, Missy.
Best of luck heal fast
Pssst...hey Rick. Can you hide Twinkies in that sling?Quote:
