In two days I go back to my hand surgeon. Two months would then have passed since the fourth operation to my right hand. (See picture)
I have two questions:
Can I use power tools yet? ???
Can I ride now? ???
Construction of my cab is subject to his answer.

you should play it safe and get a harley!! that way it will spend most of its time in the shop ;D and even if you get to ride it itll never go fast enough to be dangerous ;D ;D . and even if your feeling dangerous its not powerful enough to even break traction, let alone get the front wheel off the ground ;D ;D ;D the only way you would break your hand is if it fell over on its stand and trapped it underneath all that dead weight ;D ;D ;D ;D
thank you, thank you. you've been a great audience. try the waitress, i did!

Unless it's a V Rod. They kind of break all the rules.

ah yes, but then i think Porsche designed the engine for them. so that doesn't count ;D
but i must say, even though it still isn't my bag, i have to give harley credit for finally doing something new.

Bones live long and prosper....but try to prosper A LOT tomorrow!
Luck. ;D

This might help you feel better.

WTF???

ok that last pic is just plain wrong
i have a feeling you will be spending time doing therapy more than the cab , squeezing balls , twisting other "hand strengthening" devices of torture etc..
-
Grrrrrrr...... No go.
Surgeon is happy with my progress, everything has stayed in place and healing well but he has still restricted me to 5kg's with my right hand for another 2 months. I asked about power tools and he said "not yet". :( >:(

Yeah been there, done that, and still doing it. I have had 88 sessions of physio to my hands since the accident which I still attend three times a week. For the last 3 weeks I have been wearing a splint. It would hurt more than that last photo, but it is working; I can almost close my hand for the first time in 11 months.
This news is disappointing. It's pretty frustrating not being able to do things with your hands that should otherwise be simple.
But

Edit: Couldn't spell sfincta.

Is that a no-no word for the board?

anyone rember the sega tv ad where everything was taking place inside the brain of a kid playing a saturn? movie screen was the eyes , etc and right in the middle of some exciting part of the game the "brain" gets a phone call from the sphincter
heh i got it on tape somehwere .. i should digatize it.
-
You all know that a sphincter is just an annular muscle surrounding and able to contract or close a bodily opening right?
There are multiple sphincters in the human body Some even argue that the mouth is a sphincter which I personally dissagree with due to the fact that the mouth is controlled by many muscles and not a singular torus shaped one.

I have heard loads of crap come out of folks' mouths, and put forth my own fair share. I would have to agree that the mouth is just the other END of that sphincter.
Didja check out MrC's link and look at the cement rectum? Talk about "DARN NEAR KILLED 'IM" :o ;D
-
I have revised this bad taste link as I go see my surgeon again in 3 days.
Absolutely positive I will get the "all clear" this time around.
-
You might get the all clear, but MAN are you gonna feel that when you're 80 (if you make it that far!) :)
Wife used to work as an emergency room nurse. They said that stats for motorcicle drivin' is the 1/3 rule. You have a one in three chance of having a serious accident while riding in the city on a given day. Serious means "bad enough to get a nurse's bum off the chair to go take a look at you". They also say that probably 80% of the cases are the fault of the OTHER driver. The remaining 20% can be broken down to speed, drunkeness, stupidity and a mixture of the three. Don't know where they get the stats, prolly from the cops.
Good luck with that hand, must have turned you into a lefty, if you weren't before! ;)
-
Yeah on a bike you don't have a lot of chances if you come off. The secret is to stay on! I had a car T-bone me at 60 so my chances of staying on were pretty slim.
Good luck with that hand, must have turned you into a lefty, if you weren't before! ;)
Well not really cause I broke my left wrist as well.
Pain is my Friend.
-
Ack!
Oh man, would that be an "overthehandlebars" kind of injury??
-
At least his right forearm is starting to even up in size with the left, now ;) ;D

A witness said I went about 4 meters in into the air so no doubt a lot of the damage was done when I hit the ground. I kinda bounced off the car and was spun upward.
But hey, I gave as good as I got. Wrote my 20K bike off and a Alfa Romeo of unknown value.
You just gotta look at the positives.

Ever since I could hold a beer with my right hand again it was only a matter of time. :)

Stuff waiting.
It's Saturday morning, I am gunna go by some wood right now.
-
Bones has been cleared for take off!
I get some more metal and screws removed in December this year which will set me back around 3 months afterwards. Therefore my window for cabinet construction is approximately 8 months.
Gotta say, I couldn't be happier at this moment in time. :laugh:
-
Have an appointment with my hand surgeon in 2 hours with the view of slicing my open again and removing all the "hardware". Perhaps they will decide to leave things be, I really don't feel like returning to left hand masturbation for another 3 months.
Am a little nervous this morning..... :-X
-
Good luck..... with the cab
And the hand.
If we ever meet, I refuse to shake your left hand :-X
-
Hope it all goes well for you, Bones. :)

Yah, but you gotta remember he's telling us he's a natural righty. I guess Bones is one of those guys you don't shake hands with ;)
Bones, hope all goes well, or at the very least, they suggest doing something that hurts the very least.
-
Good Luck Bones.
Watch out if he starts pulling on the rubber glove. It aint a metal detector
-
Nah. Don't worry if he pulls on the rubber gloves. Just make sure you keep an eye on him when he does. If he puts any LUBRICANT on a finger or three, punch him in the kisser when you're hightailin' it out the door.
Don't stop either. You put pavement under your feet repeatedly until he's a distant memory. Sunny BEACHES! I don't even get DINNER! DAISIES! I outta beat 'em to within an inch of their lives with a --Drew-- and leave 'em for the garbagemen!
Where was I?
-
sorry... kinda late to tune in this thread...
Good luck, and heal well...
:)
-
OK... Been & returned from Dr Hand.
5th & final operation to right hand has been scheduled for the 12th of January. The plan is to slice me open again and remove all the titanium and 12 screws that are holding me together. I have mixed feelings over the decision to operate
-
Another bonus is chicks dig scars.
Yeah, but how are they gonna find out you had a sex change? You're not gonna TELL 'em are ya? Let the cat outta the bag, so to speak?

If I thought there was a one in twenty chance that I could get my work cover insurance to implant some DD boobies I would jump at the chance.
I would then post a pic of them in the cheesecake thread and upload my own "self" EE assignment to Stingray's pic hosting site.
errrrr... You have gone too far this time Bones. :police:

with DDs, it's gonna be tough trying to ride a bike.

It's a scientific fact that everything is better with big boobs. I think this was predicted by Newton or Galileo or Einstein or Ron Jeremy.

Saying that, Drew's rushing to the hospital to enhance his already hefty assests.

Bones has Moobies!

may you become an ambidextrous kitten killer

No I don't I am just seriously contemplating my options.

There comes a point in every boy's life when he wishes he had a pair of boobies of his very own. Only in most cases, said boobies are attached to a pretty girl. :)

Are you saying I ain't pretty?
