Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Thanks. I worked pretty hard on that garden gate.

 

Just left my orthopedic appointment. Looking like surgery to repair my Labrum is inevitable. It’s gonna put me out for 2 fricken months. Pretty fucken bummed.

 

Think of how much bigger it'll be afterwards though.

 

Hah! You're just bummed because you'll lose your excuse not to wrench.

 

Do it sooner than later I'm sure you'll be stoked after it's all said and done.

 

I’m out for 3-4 months for elbow surgery. Embrace it, time off is good for you.

 

Yes it is but between now and january is when I start making good money. I’d end up loosing out on a lot OT. Gonna try and push it till after the new years.

 

Wait 3-4 months? Holy shit!

 

Yup, had torn tendons in my elbow. Had to reattach, to many years wrenching on pipe.

 

So if I keep wrenching on my pipe I’ll end up needing to have elbow surgery also?

JK. Was it something that’s been bothering you for a long time? Do you think you did more damage to it by waiting to get it take care of?

My father in law is an orthopedic surgeon And when I showed him the MRI pictures a few months back he told me I have old and new injuries and the outer edge of my Labrum looks like swish cheese. Said it would be a difficult surgery if I ever had to have it cuz there isn’t much good material to attach to.

 

It has been bothering me for a while. This was on my left arm and the past 2years I’ve had 2 surgerys on my right. As far as waiting and doing more damage, it got the way it did by doing what you do day to day. So waiting isn’t going to make it better.

 

You can't sit in your truck, point and yell after shoulder surgery?

 

Yes, yes I can but my work might make me take it off. That’s why I’m gonna try and put it off till the rainy season hits when we are slow. I go back and see him again in 3 weekend to schedule the surgery.

 

I'm so jealous of where you live.

 

@Fernando heard you got your rack done today?

 

Looking good too

 

I hate you. You know you started something. "I'm next". No your not.

 

Hahaha ( o )( o )

So nice

 

was gonna ask what kind of rack but he beat me to it
