I haven't been hanging around on Scubaboard much lately and just saw this post. Really sorry to hear about the accident and glad to hear that you are getting better.
Take care of yourself and listen to the doctors!

If I ever get into a situation where I need to go to the hospital again forget it. Check me into Trump Towers and get a lemo service to deliver the drugs . It would be cheaper. Just the hospital bill ended up being $104.68 an hour. Then there are the 7 doctor bills and the drug costs that havent arrived yet.:11:
I was improving until I got that news.

Put a smile on you face and tell 'em to bill the department.

I wouldn't think you have to cover much of the cost, will you?

Day 27 (Fri 021508) Flippin gone from happy to unhappy again.
Back on day 19 the doc says use the arm a little but don’t abuse it.
Back to see doc on day 26. He tells me it looks good and to start using it gradually but watch it closely. I ask him about starting to do some push ups and he says ok but go gradually.
After seeing him we went a few places and ended the day at a friends wedding. All total I was up and about for only 9 or 9.5 hours. At around the 8 hour mark Wobbles says we are going home, look at your arm. Oops, it’s getting red and swelling again. I haven’t used it much at all and was just up for a while.
We get up in the morning and my normal wrist circumference of 7” is now a bit over 8” but still far below the 12.5” it was at its peak. We went to a meeting, took the dog to the groomer and then to the doc who is just around the corner from the groomer.
He gets me right in and says the blood they took yesterday came back very normal for an alien. NO infection in the blood so we are still good there. Then he hits me with the canon shot. Back down with the arm elevated as much as possible. So I say I’m bored and want to get back to work. He smiles and says don’t count on it for quite a while. “DEFINE A WHILE”! :11: HE smiles and says I’ll see you next week.
Anybody have a loaner arm while I leave this one in the shop for repairs. Tying down a Type A is one sadistic joke I’m not getting a laugh about. At least he said even though it’s looking bad again I’m in a normal healing process.
Bummed out about doctors. :mooner:
I know one thing. I'm plucking a lot of the feathers out of that AFLAC ducks butt.

Just think of all the extra time you'll have to reign in the miscreants here on SB, bannings, vacations, deleted posts .......
uhhhh... nevermind.

I could swap arms but it would be a downgrade for you.
My tumor has my right arm paralyzed and swollen, worse than useless.
Recovery time expected in months but as long as I do recover I will be happy about it.
Very hard to deal with now though.
Get well soon Gary!
