check out this cast

[Tim]

took the wee lad with me to get the staples out and recast. i told him since he was so good he could pick whatever color he wanted....


just glad he didnt go for the soccer balls or hot pink. the kid really does like his old man

[speaceman]

I love how camo is considered a primary color by boys.

[Larry Nickell]

I can't see it

[Cutch]

That's quite the cast...how long is it casted for and what rehab follows.

Gotta love the color choice. I wear camo most of the time or at least a green or tan...makes laundry day real easy for me.

well, i have been in a cast for a month to get that tendon to grow back to the bone where it was reattatched. i thnk it comes off friday for good.

i think i should be back to normal in less than 9 months with the first three in some kind of p.t.

[Cutch]

I always wondered what they did for that. No surgery...just position the arm so the tendon will scar over to the attachment location...kinda like welding I guess.

[Cutch]

Forgot to mention... I don't think I will ever stress my bicep tendon to the point it will tear...I try and keep the weight loads to around 12 oz at a time

[Tim]

oh, they cut me good...
they keyholed my radius and sutured the tendon back onto the bone where they wanted it to stick for good.

have a 2" incision on the outside of the elbow and a 5" on the inside that runs up my biceps.

12oz? well i have to hoist them left handed

I forgot to mention that it was 12 oz per hand....and if I had 3 hands some people might think that I have a drinking problem

[Paradiddle]

That was the same color as my cast - when I had ankle surgery in January.

Very cool stuff - they have a lot of colors now.

[Jerry Bransford]

I'd pay a little spiff to the med tech have someone's cast done in purple or pink if they were unconsious at the time.

That is stylish. Is stone white still awailable?

I've spent some time around you and I'd say no one would ever say you have a drinking problem. Stopping maybe, but drinking, never.

It's the beer that is addicted to me

[Tim]

well, camo cast is gone, dont think i will miss it much. i still feel like a cat with a piece of tape on his a$$.... they slapped a brace on me that i have to wear for a month. at least now i have all but 30 degrees of my elbow's range.

[Jerry Bransford]

So is your arm skinny and all shriveled up now Tim? I mean the one that was inside the cast.

[Tim]

yeah. its a one gun show now....
