HA! ..sorry Tree, yes we are your internet friends, but we aren't that kind of friends. We don't let pain and misery fade away, especially when we can quote past quotes. So you be careful now around those C14 electrons.

Now about your new avatar, or what I think it should be taking into account your screen name and this ordeal you've been through.

Um.  Can I use that for my avatar?  It actually fits nicely.  You know...  Considering.

Kind of like how a person obtains a nickname.  We don't exactly get to pick when our friends bestow one upon us.

I feel it is better to ask forgiveness vs. getting permission so I used the pic for my avatar.  Now that's funny right there.   :chugbeer:

I have a used ABS pump.  Time to break out the Bone Saw...   :yikes:

By the way, between posts in the Wanted section, other scattered postings, and this one I have completely lost track of where and when I posted any new status reports.  And I tend to forget stuff and repeat my self repeat myself. [sigh].

ABS pump.  Separated the electrical from the mechanical.  Thought someone might like to see some pics.

thanks for post the photos. Piston pumps, with balance rings in them- just what I would have used. :-)

My very philosophy: if I cannot have three yucks a day, and preferably one big one, I ain't gettin' out of bed. Everything is funny if one just warps the context a little bit and does not deliver it or take it as a personal or specific reference (cancer can be funny, having cancer is not funny; finding amusement in some of the facets of having cancer can even be funny, even to the patient in some circumstances). One of the things we are really losing in the US, and maybe the world, is our collective sense of humor and that is truly unfortunate IMO. I find we all get some doses of pain, and everyone dies but not everyone gets sufficient dosages of humor or fun IMO.

Good on you for laughing at yourself after making a mistake. You cannot change the fact that the mistake was made, and you cannot change the damage you have to repair no matter what your attitude but you do (we all do) have the choice of taking a case of 'stepping in it' with a couple of chuckles. Later on, I will take a photo of my most recent 'stepped in it' and post it to this thread to prove that pain and suffering can be mixed with fun and amusement. Though the anesthesiologist was a hard- sell; took me four of my medium-  to- good jokes to make him chuckle. But he did enjoy the ad lib about using LOTS of electrolyte on the paddles so they did not leave burn marks on my chest..... you know, in the event.....   :yikes: :rotflmao:

Ah yes, mixing tragedy (well, minor tragedy) and comedy means telling jokes to the surgical staff until one passes out.

And it runs in the family: my youngest son sent me this Tee shirt when he found out about the broken wrist:



Taken on the very stairs that helped gravity grab that winning point.

 :rotflmao:

And tomorrow, I meet Julie so she can show me how to use the 'bone stimulator' as well as providing me with one. How cool is that? 20 minutes, one time a day their asses- I'm gonna' replace the batteries with mains power and use that thing until I pass out! And with a little luck, the bones will not knit properly (somewhat probable- the bone shattered and the surgeon had to use bone grafts to fill in the void) so I will need  yet more surgery and maybe, just maybe, get a second crack at that 'bone stimulator' again this year. Yea me!

Good luck with the stimulator. They get mixed reviews. It didn't help my wife's shattered elbow but seemed to work on the hairline fracture in her foot that she tried it on since she had it.

OFFTOPIC: Yeah, I too have done just a bit of research and they seem mildly effective at best. What is worse is that the small number of positive data collections all seem to have been done by a company that makes them, which make the data highly suspect. They are expensive too, this one will be $2,400 for a month. Now in my own case, as I have hit my max. 'out of pocket expense' for my plan for the year, the stimulator would be covered by Blue Cross. And yet after my research I refused it because it seemed a very poor value in relation to the cost, no matter WHO is paying for it; I am not interested in wasting anyone else's money anyway and just taking something because it is of no cost TO ME is irresponsible. But after my last appointment with the surgeon, he said that he does NOT recommend a bone stimulator for perhaps 98% of these types of fractures but he did so in my case because it was a collective break, it required bone grafting, and will be difficult to heal and he simply felt that he wanted to do everything possible, even with low success likelihood, to cause this fracture (fractures) to heal. If they do not, he will have to go back in and surgically support the bone (Easy Boys!) and I have to say, looking at the X- rays, that does not look like a cheerful proposition; if he straps the outside, it will leave material protruding from my hand / wrist and possible cause loss of tactile feedback, blood flow and probably arthritis. So I agreed to use the bone stimulator in the hope that it will be sufficient that more surgery will not be needed.

BTW: the bone stimulator supplier kept trying to tell me it would not cost me anything and I had a really hard time explaining that I understood that but choose not to waste money simply because it was not MY money I was wasting. She never heard that before and was quiet for a few moments.  ::)

Thanks for the well- wishes Gary!

Yep.  That Bone Saw crack I made a little while ago doesn't seems creepy at all now.  ;)

And I just said crack - twice. :)

Well after all the cracks....
Hopefully with vinyl/nitrile gloves, if she is handling it at all. I know that she uses leather gloves when handling Brian's wood.

Actually, cloth gloves with rubber dots for grip- I guess the wood can be.... (wait for it)...... slippery sometimes.

She also knocked herself down once with my wood; we were loading the trailer and it was getting pretty tall. She was throwing splits 'onto' the trailer WHEN SUDDENLY she threw a split (she threw my wood) but not high enough and it bounced off the pile in the trailer, slapped her right in the face and she went down like a sack of potatoes. Never lost consciousness but ended up with a golf ball sized lump and a jet black eye for a week and a half.

Which is of course the root of all the wisdom about being careful with your wood, be careful where you put your wood, etc. because placing wood poorly can have consequences.....
