Three back surgeries, shoulder surgery, two wrist surgeries, damaged knee, tendonitis in my hands. Nothing but small stuff.... :)

wrist surgeries? for what carpel tunnel? wow those are alot of small stuff.

No, nothing so mundane, I separated my wrist pulling my finger out of an engine lathe. The first repair was done with a pin that was too light, and I broke it in half. They had to go back in, and remove the broken pin, and replace it.

AND I can still count to ten! :)

well I don't know the details about all that sir smithlabs but it sounds like you were probably doing something you shouldn't have been.

I was making some mounts for a piece of glass for the church. They were 2 inch diameter brass standoffs, and I was polishing them with 000 steel wool, I got too close, and removed a piece of meat from my index finger. I pulled my hand clear with enough force, that I pulled my wrist in half.

Fun times for all? >:(

ok sir smithlabs I know you are prone to hyperbole at times but.." pulled my wrist in half"? what do you mean in half?

I pulled hard enough to recover my entrapped finger that the connective tissue inside my wrist separated. While my hand was still on my arm, it was poorly connected, and things did NOT work well. With the two surgeries, I had my arm in a cast for six months.

Never do a free job, in a hurry, when you are tired! Bad things can happen. :(

oh sir smithlabs, good advice. what in the world did you do for six months, did you have to go real slow or stop your projects?

Lets see, three back surgeries, shoulder surgery, wrist surgery twice. Right now, I am avoiding another shoulder surgery, tendonitis, and possible knee repair, with the comfrey.

oh man smithlabs! well what's wrong with your shoulder and knee?
and how can you still be at 49 rep?

Shoulder and knee, car wreak. :(

Shoulder, extension damage, rebuilt. :)

NO Idea on the 49! Doing everything I know how, But I must have food stuck in my teeth or something. Or they just hate me, LOL! :)

Knee, compression impact damage, blown bursa sack, left to heal. :(

it must be a conspiracy against you of some kind. probably need to get mepatriot to look into it. what is a Bursa Sack?

There is a plastic bag (kind of) around your joints that holds bursa fluid (knee lubrication) onto that joint. When you loose that fluid, they call it bursitis (AKA Owies) and it is bad for the joint, long term.

I am glad you see the conspiracy! That would not be so obvious to most people, good job! :)

haha! I think it HAS to be a conspiracy, no one has ever been stuck at 49 that long before!
Oh ok, I've heard of bursitis before but didn't know what it was.

I got the 49...BLUESSSS... @janton was supposed to vote me out of this, but Noooooo...LOL! :D.

That is what it is, a busted plastic bag, sort of...LOL! :)

well sir smithlabs..is that what holds the synovial fluid in between the joints?
