Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

[LittleLakePhil]

Phil, I have no words.
Everyone has pretty much said it so I won't repeat anything but just please please please take care yourself! This is not something to sneeze at. I know you know that, your the one in all the pain. . But Dam.
You've got to take it easy before your unable to walk at all.
Whine all you like we are here for you.
I'm disgusted that the V A did not take this more seriously from the beginning.

Some of its my fault to.... They probably figured if I was out shoveling snow on snowshoes all the time in wasnt that hurt.... But I've been hurt for a long time....I had to make myself quit working.... Even after they told me I had multiple tendons seperated in my shoulders.... Once I snapped a bicep tendon. Wow was that painful....I swear I heard it break to... Like a shotgun going off.
I was pulling so hard on a breaker bar at the time.....I dropped to my knees.....I haven't been the same since. I miss my big muscles.
My legs are still very muscular.... But maybe not for long. Seriously for a little guy I was always a work horse..... At 5'4".... Maybe I was a my Little pony....

I bet you did hear it snap. I knew a guy that also happened to. He was just tossing a tool up to a guy on a roof when it happened to him. He said he heard it too.

How did you know that ? Do you know what the Princess was last life ?

I typoed 'were' instead of 'werent' & didn't catch it till you quoted it. I'm dying laughing over here! Classic Freudian slip. Sorry my flipper footed friend.

FYI


I hate people.

Bunch of nasty no good humans...

Nasty, nasty, nasty

Good thing I'm a 5'7" paper doll, then...

But you aren't a person!!!

You are invisible electronic blips or some such!

As such, you are wonderful!

That, too

Here's the letter I got today....View attachment 1720741
If anyone understands it...I believe it says I have a messed up hip.

Yes - that's exactly what it says! I hope you can rest that other one to let it heal. And please do mention it to the surgeon when you see him. I don't know that pulled muscles usually "pop"...

Ouch!

Ouch!

stupid stunt on my part.... Trying to pick out the foot of a un cooperative mare.... she tried putting the foot down I tried to hold her up.... LITTERALLY... Pop and I let go...

Learned a great lesson... Even a 900 pound horse has more strength than you do....

Thankfully it was a small muscle and it healed.

I had a 16 hand Saddlebred/QH gelding for a while. He was always cooperative about picking up his feet, but no matter which foot you picked up, that was apparently the ONLY foot holding him up. I know this because as soon as he gave you his foot, he’d lean on you. The other three feet were suddenly useless.

I worked on ponies that were like that...

I had to work fast then jump out of the way before they fell on me.

Then repeat.
