Finally got all the parts to finish my Brake System complete.

Took a fall last week. Fractured my elbow and tore up my wrist. The Dr. told me it would heal without a cast if I was easy on it. So the task at hand is to bend the brake-lines. Have Mercy, I can't bend a strip of Solder......

Wah-Wah. OK, I feel better now. Thank God for Vicoden when it's really necessary......

 

I truly feel your pain.....I burned my right hand with the cutting torch the other day. Doing things one handed really sucks!
Hope you heal fast....take it easy with that arm!

 

On the job injury, Eman? You're lucky you don't need a cast, they really suck.

 

That really looks sore.

My father-in-law backed over my son's dog last week with a farm implement. The dogs came away lucky, only bruised up her insides and dislocated her rear left leg. She's been hopping around since with her rear leg trussed to her body with an elastic bandage. She was lucky, when my wife first called to tell me about it I thought for sure she was a goner. She adapted pretty quick to being three legged for a while, hopefully the vet will take the bandage off next week but she'll still be restrict to not running around. That's real easy for an energetic puppy.

Take care of yourself, and take it easy, your truck will be there when you're able to go at a 100%.

 

That's a nice one. Will take weeks to clear up. Your arm will turn all kinds of pretty colors, including a nice shade of green, before it's gone. Take care of that arm. Let it heal.

 

Didn't that singer Prince have a song about that - Purple Pain? - Let it heal E-Dawgie

 

Workmans Comp !!!! More truck time with some extra $$$$$

 

Is that the Northern Lights?



let'er heal, E-dawg!

 

Ernie, I'm familiar with those colors, as my wife often inflicts them on me! But I actually deserve it.

 

Dang Ernie, that looks painful! Take care of yourself, let me know if you need a hand...

 

Ah, quit yer whinin!

Sheesh, I've been working with one hand for years, no biggie. Well, ok, so sometimes I do have both hands when I have to go back to the fridge to refill the frosty hand but you don't here me sniveling about it.

I say go ahead and fab up the brake lines, this fractured elbow sure gives you a great excuse for when you mess em all up.

Just kidding Dawg, get yourself healed up and don't overdo it.

Bobby

 

Fast recovery my friend!!
Just make sure you check your elbow grease level after your arm is in working order

 

good time to learn to be am-b- dexterious..so when you heal you can make twice the mistakes..sorry that's me,, you can work twice as fast .....dang that must be uncomfertable...did you learn anything ..will you do it again???

 

OUch. Been there, done that, with different injury. Be careful; one arm might be out to hurt the other if you try to do too much with it. I put a rusty sharp set of needle nose pliers in my right hand, between my knuckles. After a tetnis shot, some pain pills and bandages, i was told to take it easy for awhile. I'm right handed and i am not one to sit on the sidelines. I have got to be doing something constructive. So my dumb ol' hard headed self thought it would be cool to do some minor sheet metal work in the garage with the assistance of my vise. Nothing bad could happen right? wrong. I'm holding the metal panels with my good left hand and "gently" nursing the drill with my gimpy right hand, when all the sudden *!$..........SNAP.........@$!% The drill bit shattered and my gimpy right hand did not have the dexterity to guide the drill away from my good left hand. I ended up putting that spinning broken bit into my left thumb before shutting the drill off. It hurt like the dickens. I gathered my composure. Put my tools down. And made a trail of blood from the garage into the house. Had to suck up my pride and ask the wife to come help me clean and bandage my left hand before i passed out or threw up on myself. Needless to say, with two hands outta commission, i took it easy for a few days while i healed up.
