please tell me they helped put his shirt on before you left?

they didn't and it sucked big time.

Good job Mr Mud, save some happy pills for me!

[mynameismud]

They did help.  The entire staff was very professional and very accommodating.  Top notch outfit.

I watched that video 4 times, total invasion of privacy . I feel like family, really!

Feel better mud brother! Holler when you need a beer run. Happy pills work better mixed with alcohol, says so on the label.

According to the instructions, today is the day when we can take the covering gauze and tape off. I was bracing myself for some nasty sight and was pleasantly surprised to see the clean and organized surgery site. We are both impressed by the modern technology. No stitches. Just a series of zip ties taped to the skin that pull the cut tight. Over time, the zip ties will fall off with the tape. We took a photo for book keeping. And if you think you have the stomach for it, you can click on the link to see the zip ties yourself. Pretty neat, eh?

[mungeclimber]

neat and gross at the same time.

I was figuring something smaller like 3 orthopaedic scope/incision holes.

Nice

My shoulder has 3 scars.

They must have had to do some large work on Mr mud and needed more space.

I take it they didn't tighten the screws in his head?

[mynameismud]

nope loose screws still there.

tight screws in collar bone

[clink]

I take it they didn't tighten the screws in his head?

Nice.

How is the recovery coming along?

[mungeclimber]

I finally saw the video. Couldn't see it before.

To translate for the uninitiated...

"A little uncomfortable" to Mud = "Jeebus holy mother of exquisite S&M pain" for the rest of us.

Yesterday I was at PT.  I explained to the Physical Therapist that my neck was bothering me a fair amount over the weekend.  A fair bit more than normal, ever since the crash it has been kind of tight.  I am laying on my back and she is behind me holding my head and working on my neck and traps.  Pushing right up to the collar bone but not ever really touching it.  At times she would kind of push under the collarbone.  She has a bit of an accent and when she is concentrating it gets a bit stronger plus she speaks quietly.  I really thought she was talking about my neck muscle when she pushes down deep and I hear/feel a double clunk.  Then she sits up and says, your first rib was out, if your first rib is out it can be very painful.  

The shoulder seems a bit better today.

Good, you're all healed now. Or close enough.

You gonna join us at Pinns on Sunday (at least hike and hang out).

Seriously though, it sounds like you've got a P.T. who is paying attention. I've got a rib that "goes out" too. It makes it hard to twist at all. Luckily my friend/chiropractor John Sousa knows what it does and he knows how to fix it quickly.

Sunday evening your time I will be on a plane half way to Bangalore.

Sunday evening your time I will be on a plane half way to Bangalore.

That doesn't sound good. You leave on Friday afternoon and should have fully arrived in Bangalore Saturday evening our time. At least, that's what I was told. You didn't expect me to accidentally stumble back on the Forum, did ya?

[Brad Young]

Sunday evening your time I will be on a plane half way to Bangalore.

Oh duh, I forgot about that. Well, we won't see you then. Curry on.

[clink]

He made a joke.
