On the other hand, as it were, I'm really feeling much better. Even loaded up a few hundred .45's tonight. Figure it's good hand therapy. Maybe this weekend I'll shoot them. Like you all have noticed, trigger finger is good. I'm really on the mend, praise God. looking forward to returning to work and working out full time next week. I'll have some hand physical therapy, and some pain for some time to come but I think I'm really on the mend... Thanks for your prayers and friendship, gentlemen. It really helps.

A little laughter and a smile will always help people through tough times . It has always helped me and it sure seems to be helping you so we will keep raising your spirits. 45 shooting sounds like good hand physical therapy but then you are the Doc so follow your orders to a T. It is great to hear that you are feeling better now though and Good Luck returning to work you are still in my prayers friend. Mike

You are a lucky guy though, could have been MUCH worse. Try not to over do it though, you need to be careful....Your patients "need" those hands. usrifle

Glad to see you are still kicking. Pahtu.

I remember stubbing my little toe the day before I was headed to Oshkosh for the airshow. I looked down to find it at a right angle to my foot! I pushed it back so it was straight. It was sore but not enough prevent the trek to Oshkosh. There's a reason I don't ride motor cycles. Carl

My fingers are straight and so were yours the last time I saw them. I hope they are back the way they are supposed to be. Paul in Eastern WA

Posts: 12692 (11/17/09 05:26 PM) Forum Site Moderator Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I loved that little car, 5 speed manual, 35-40mpg, even in the mountains and I had just mailed off the last payment the day before it was totaled! Very rugged & reliable vehicle that did exactly what it was supposed to do in a collision. Everything crumpled up on the front and rear-ends and left the cage intact enough for me to open the door and walk/fall out of it as the state police was calling for the coroner to pick me up, then backtracked really quick and made it an ambulance call. To keep this thread from going too OT from the original topic and from the purpose of the forum, I did receive enough in the settlement to pick up a NIB 5.56x45 Chinese AK and replace the vehicle.

Bless it's lil heart. " .......I did receive enough in the settlement to pick up a NIB 5.56x45 Chinese AK and replace the vehicle." Looks like you came out on top! Armed Infidel
