Guest Sky Master Posted October 13, 2000 Posted October 13, 2000 Hi Gold squad leader how is that arm?
Guest Gold Squadron Leader Posted October 13, 2000 Posted October 13, 2000 It is doing well as can be with four steel spikes sticking in it for the External Fixator, which is a traction device that holds the wrist in place instead of a cast. It uses the pull of the ligaments to keep the bone fragments in the proper position, have to have it for six weeks. Hurts some still, taking Percocet as needed for pain. I go back to the doctor next Tuesday to get the stitches taken out and the traction eased a little. The bad part will be when he removes the metal screws in six weeks by backing them out with an electric drill, without any anesthesia! Big time OUCH! ------------------ Ties are flies, swat'em!
Guest The Master Posted October 13, 2000 Posted October 13, 2000 So, how long did it take you to just type that with one hand?
Guest Gold Squadron Leader Posted October 13, 2000 Posted October 13, 2000 You don't want to know, probably twenty minutes at least with my left hand. I know I'm slow but it's getting better with practice. ------------------ Ties are flies, swat'em!
Guest The Master Posted October 14, 2000 Posted October 14, 2000 He he, we used our Bacta supply on a Imperial agent who betrayed us. It was funny to watch.
Guest Sky Master Posted October 16, 2000 Posted October 16, 2000 I know,it was shocking!Lets do it again,this time lets use a Death Star battery with about 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, volts and 3,000,000 Pikachus,Voltorbs,and a Zapadose.(Hehehe) D: D: D: D: D: D: D: D: D:

Guest Green 4 Posted October 16, 2000 Posted October 16, 2000 Sure that would be great but we used up ALL our bacta! We won't get another shipment till Tuesday. ------------------ huh? What i do? Supposed to put it in the other socket? Uh oh...
Guest Gold Squadron Leader Posted October 16, 2000 Posted October 16, 2000 I took shrapnel in my right wrist while rescuing my wingman from a half dozen tie interceptors on his tail. He is a good pilot, we were just heavily outnumbered as usual. We barely got away, some others didn't. P.S. - Actually crushed it with a nasty fall while playing volleyball. Boy did it hurt. One surgery so far. Worst part, I'm right handed. ------------------ Ties are flies, swat'em!
Guest The Master Posted October 16, 2000 Posted October 16, 2000 Be happy, you don't have to write any time SOON.
Guest Sky Master Posted October 18, 2000 Posted October 18, 2000 O.k. now we have the bacta.Let's use it on a imperial prisoner.
Guest Sky Master Posted October 18, 2000 Posted October 18, 2000 I once had a kind of pinched nerve in my right hand,couldn't use my hand properly with out it hurting for about a week or two.
Guest Gold Squadron Leader Posted October 18, 2000 Posted October 18, 2000 Sorry to hear that Sky Master. You were lucky, that is a mere annoyance compared to what happened to me though. I crushed my right wrist on Oct. 1st and will be lucky if I can hold joystick well enough to play RS again by Christmas! Major pain with major rehab ahead to get my wrist working again. So sad I would cry if not for the fact that it could be much worse. Much, much worse. ------------------ Ties are flies, swat'em!
Guest The Master Posted October 18, 2000 Posted October 18, 2000 Soory to hear that from both of you. But still what one man lacks another will make up for! Keep that wrist healing Gold Leader!
Guest Sky Master Posted October 19, 2000 Posted October 19, 2000 In Star Wars terms I got hit by a laser blast .My mom got hit by 2 rockets though.(She really has carpaltunnel,both hands!)
Guest The Master Posted October 21, 2000 Posted October 21, 2000 But I guess there nothing we really can do about all these injuries. I have a feeling that I'm next.
Guest Sky Master Posted November 9, 2000 Posted November 9, 2000 On Tues I crushed my legs when a classmate pushed me,my right leg has recovered but not my left leg.
