Calla.... hope Sin fared well over the weekend and is more comfortable each day.

Tried to insert "cheer up" image but I couldn't get it going .... Other sites I belong to I can upload a pic... does this site need it to be hosted at a URL?

Dang Sin! Hope you get better soon.

Hey, at least you don't have to be embarrassed when someone asks what happened to you.

Hi everyone! Thanks for the well-wishings & funny stories... Tim in particular - I needed a good laugh!

Details are basically, i was standing on a ladder, ladder broke, i fell backwards through the front of a tank behind me. I managed to put an inch & a half-ish long cut in my left shoulder, one about the same on my lower back + some bruising & a 6 inch long, almost 2 inch deep cut in my right forearm. Spent 3 days in hospital & had a reconstructive plastic surgery team spend a few hours re-assembling my arm.

My back & shoulder are healing up nicely, arms still a bit of a work in progress. For those who have the stomach, here are some piccies

1 week after surgery
2 weeks after that

Thanks again - always nice to feel loved

Sin

That cut sure is serious looking .

I hope they gave you something for the scar, that looks like it'll be noticible for a good long time .

^_^

Far out woman! Glad you are on the mend.

Before you criticize someone walk a mile in their shoes. That way you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

OO nice little cut there Sin. Glad you're getting better! I see they did a nice job of getting those stitches out without opening it back up too much. Last time I had stitches the doctor sucked and he dug so far into the cut it broke back open, so I'm left with a big scar.

How sore is it?

Sin, that is a mega injury and scar.....

Only plus side is if people ask you what happened you can make up all manner of outrageous and improbable scenarios.


I hope you regain full use
So you can do everything you need to ..... and 'want' to like craft and creating

All the best and I hope you are fully recovered sooner than soonest!

I still owe you one for helping me so let me know if there is anything I can do....

*tehehe* gotta tell you!

We rocked up to the bottle-o on saturday, pick out our drinks and Sin pulls out the credit card. The guy scans it in and then Sin looked all worried. Turns out she hadn't tried holding a pen or signing her name the check out guy was really sus at the giggling and the time it was taking until she pointed out the scar

..........and shortly after she thoroughly investigated if *elbow bending* was in full working order.

May need to be an ongoing study.


Funny story Calla.... am sure the scar will come in handy every anon... for lookin' tuff and whatnot. (like at the David Jones sales... peeps will not mess with Sin for the last Trinitron with that baby)

Maybe it can launch it's own 'myspace'...share its adventures online ....and network with titanium hips and pacemakers and whatnot.

now you can make up stories about how you got in a fight with a bear or something

I always say I got into a bar room brawl when asked about my scar....it's on my knee though, so the story's not exactly credible.

Glad you're doing better, Sin.

Holy cow. Sin, that was close.

I dig the scar though. But yeah, stupid work safety peeps.

OOOUUUTTCCHH. Welcome back glad you're ok. Hey fallout, who does the structural test on the tanks now?

Hey everyone! It's getting there, back at work half days & have started physio... It's still pretty slow going though

Crazyred - i've got one on my knee too! Put it through the front of a tank this time last year! ...me & tanks don't always play well together

Gomer!! Been a long time! Hope all's well. ... Cheers! It is rather impressive in'it!

Sin

Hey sin, if you have to do it, this is the proper way to put your arm into the aquarium. You have to watch the whole thing to see what I am saying;

Sounds like you need a new line of work.

I got mine when I threw my leg over the ex's Harley to get on and hit the license plate...which had no frame. Those licence plate are as sharp as razors and it cut me almost down to my kneecap. Four stitches...which should have been more like eight and after they were removed, bammo, it reopened on the first step. It took months for it to heal and the scar is wicked ugly.

Hey Sin. Glad you are back at work even if it is just for 1/2 days.

Physio is so tedious.

All the best for a speedy recovery.
