DON'T PAY THE RANSOM, I'VE ESCAPED

[Just Saying]

On January 3rd I finished an ugly 2nd in a wrestling match with a gas-powered snow blower. 2 1/2 hours of surgery later they completed fishing out 2 severed tendons and reattached them to some anchor bolts, took a broken collar bone out and jury-rigged it back together before reinstalling, removed the bursa sac and threw it away. Then they reattached a severed bicep and screwed it down in a different area with a plate and anchor screw.

I had plans to do a lot of projects over the 6 month hiatus... none of which happened. Brushing teeth and wiping butt took all the time. Combination of pain and pain meds shut my sense of taste off... hence, I'm down to 133 lbs. Trying to 'hunt & peck' on the laptop left-handed proved fruitless, so I check into ITS on occasion without posting.

Therapy is going great, but they told me it would be October before things got closer to normal. Mjss you guys and I'll be checking in now that I can use my arm.

Hope things get better fast. Puddy almost really kicked the bucket in March. Was in ICU for 5 days. The doc's put my home phone number on my room's bulletin board in case they had to call home and tell my sister I wasn't going to make it and come there.

Damn JS. Hope you are back to tip top shape soon.

When I awoke from surgery my Bride said it looked like a bobcat and a grizzly bear had been fighting for my shoulder. I asked who won? She replied, "You were third."
 

[chicagojazz]

get well soon buddy!

[Jeremy]

I was thinking that this was going to be a story about that FBI virus that hijacks a computer making you pay a ransom to get it back.  Wish I was correct.  Get well

Take care friends and heal up quickly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow......glad to hear things are going okay but is the REAL reason  you are down to a paltry 130 pounds because you want to return to action as a JOCKEY?!

Nah... never was suicidal. This morning they moved me into an advanced therapy program with a more concentrated regimen for the next 8 weeks. Maybe I won't have to wait until October to be back to abnormal. Fingers crossed.

Good luck with the therapy. I would be using some serious weed if I was you. That stuff is much better than what the doctors prescribe you.

If you need an ear, I am here for you. Physical and occupational therapy. Been there, done that. I've done it my last time without weed.
