Not So Pro 3

Wasn't the Hungry Marine @USMC615 getting his neck/shoulder/back welded up or something?

Hopefully he went up to the ATL for it, the Lougle says they have a world class surgical team specializing in repair of R.S.I. injuries accrued from years of glory hole service.

Good afternoon man-gans. Nice weather pattern this week, perfect for hanging a deer.

Just think of it this way, Alaska is taking one for the team so you don't have to move

You are welcome!

I’d like to see it snow here more

How’s your mom doing?

Thanks for asking. Her hand is healing up, I have to take her tomorrow morning for a follow up for the second surgery on it. We went to the orthopedic doctor last week after getting a proper MRI, and her rotator cuff has two tears but it's not a complete tear, so they want to try physical therapy before surgery. I'm taking her to PT later today. She's still in a lot of pain and very limited in what she can do, but hopefully it's just healing from here on.

Maybe they’ll get the sand out of his mangina too.

Doubtful.

Do everything you can to make her realize the discomfort (pain) of PT is still miles better than having the surgery AND the PT afterwards anyway

My ortho doctor was amazed that I got back 95% range of motion because most people either don't take PT seriously and don't do their exercises or simply don't go because it hurts

He said in a lot of cases people with partial tears can be "fixed" by PT but they just won't do it and end up having surgery, but then they don't do the PT anyway

Mom was a PTA and then an OT for the VA, so these truths were constantly pounded into my brain growing up.

Only if we let them. Nothing gets done without competent people. It is our job to remind them of that.

Reminding them got me succinctly removed from the "safety committee". I can only show them the door

A lot of this is because of the "you have to fix me" mentality where the patient expects to be magically and instantly cured/fixed by the medical staff with no effort on the patient's part

Not any different than parents saying "you have to educate my child" as if the child has a flip top head and the learning just has to get poured in with no effort on the student's and parent's part

All part and parcel of our pampered, entitled society

Doubtful.

How much did you put in there

Low hanging fruit served

They just brought me this key for the Caterpillar all terrain forklift at the school. Does this really start any cat equipment? If so I'm on the lookout for a D-11.

It will hold at least a 5 gallon bucket full.

Yep. That fits most Cat equipment.
