TT Injured Reserve List

“sorry not yet. im time”

“10-4 - hang in there; good luck; best wishes; etc.....”

“Howdy all, I think we have ourselves a new record. Skeetah Bait has made a whole week, that's right!!! One solid week without an injury of any type. That's right, not even a paper cut!!!

....aw shucks, I just remembered, she's got dishpan hands right now. I think I'll go pick up a dishwasher tomorrow and install it right away. Can't have her all disabled from dish pan hands now, can we?”

“Don't say 'paper cut' to someone who used to run a check sorting machine, LOL

For Sure, Geo.

Yes, CG... the problem will be getting away from the (^%#()^streetlights, <G>

Get Well Soon, Maple!”

“Gah, this thing on my back is a boil! Gross! It's the size of an olive, very painful, and has its own zip code. I noticed it started right after I started working out at the gym. Each time I came home from the the gym it got a little bigger so I figure its an infected sweat gland. Ick!”

“Sounds Biblical! <OUCH>”

“Sure it's not one of those creatures in the movie "Alien"?”

“aw jeeez.... Did you ever read a short story titled "Lukundu"? The victim would be covered with boils and when they burst, a very tiny Massai-type warrior would pop out! No foolin'!”

“it's prolly one of those worm/fly things ...botfly i think. someones dogs got awhileback....”

“Dang, you folks make me damn glad all I had was a broken leg and a blood clot in the pulmonary artery. I got off easy!”

“I have a very sharp pair of scisors I could loan you.... :}”

“After the boils comes... the plague of frogs? What the heck have you and HPM been up to? <G>”

“maybe we should send crazy mike over there with a couple of stone tablets....”

“LOL!

Y'all are bizarre I tell you!

So Tilt, how are you feeling? Have you recovered enough to be allowed to watch TV on the couch again?

DirtyOld Man, how is your finger healing? No more ouchies?

Treebait, are you showering at the gym? I think someone told me once that boils can be from a virus from communal showers. Probably a college mythic legend.”

“Oh and Treebait, when I was a kid, Mom would put a mixture of softened Ivory soap (from a bar) and sugar on a boil, cover with a bandaid, and the real soap/sugar mixture would draw out the yucky stuff and heal it faster.”

“After boils I believe there will be a plague of monkeys flying out of the butt.”

“Boils are usually from Staphylococcus aureus, a bacteria that is in lots of places, including your skin surface. I used to get them in High School during "two a day" summer practice. My gear would never dry out from the sweat and that is a great breeding place for the bacteria.

The gym could be the culprit if you clothes become the breeding ground or if the surface of the gym equipment becomes a breeding ground.”

“EEEEEEEeeeeewwwwwwww....

And guess what I was visualising when I woke up with the funny chest pains last week? Yep! All those lovely photos you posted, LOL

I dunno, Lyndy. Now I'm on the sofa watching TV MORE than before. Do you think I might be tempting Fate? <G>”

“The boil is looking better now that it was drained. I think it might be bacterial exposure followed by keeping the area moist, as it lines up with a band of elastic in my sports bra. They do sterilize the equipment, and encourage members to do so as well, with bottles of disinfectant sitting around. No, I don't use the showers there either.”

“no frogs or flying monkeys yet?”

“uhhhmm.....did HE say sports bra?
















~GLUNG~”

“yes my finger is on the mend, I got the stitches out and am in the stage where all the dead skin is peeling off. nasty lookin, hehe

no more owchies but some really strange sensations from the cut nerve, If I poke the bottm of my finger I feel it under the nail. weird huh?”

“DOM, yeah, I cut a nerve in my finger once, and it felt weird for many years afterwards. Did finally get normal though. My Mom watched me cut myself and after I yelped, she said "Well I was wondering if you were trying to cut your finger off." She obviously believed in letting Darwin reign.

Tilt, that was what it was, subconciously you were focused on Pathman's pictures! Now you know that you are psychokinetic: just work on someone other than yourself next time.”

“I did the same thing in 1968! It was more overt tho'...

My brother had been in an accident and had these really cool crutches that looked like machine guns --- aluminum and black closed-cell foam with black pistol grips.

We went to visit him in the hospital after church, and just as we were leaving, I said "I wish I could break my leg and get some crutches like those!"

That afternoon I was playing with the Frisbee in the street, and to make a long story short... when I got out of my cast I got my fancy crutches.

I don't wish for things like that anymore!!!


(I've got one of those numb finger things too, but that's another story)”

“Note to self: ALWAYS stay on Tilt's good side, but don't let him make any wishes.”

“It only seems to work when I wish evil crap on myself, so everyone else is safe! LOL”

“Pictures? What pictures?”

“I have a bunch of cut nerves in my knee after I had surgery on it a couple years back...I touch one place and it tingles in another.”

“Oh, come on guys, I can't believe you're not all over this one!”

“There's no need to touch that one. It's self contained!”

“what would be the point of touching it? with all the severed nerves involved we could feel a thing anyway....

:}”

“I herniated a disc & am numb (2" wide) down my left leg. (at least there's no pain) but it has prevented me from carrying a heavy winter pack. Now, I just take loooonng day hikes or canoe.”

“well, ,i fianlly made it! the IR list! oh...it's not a banana chip cut or a collapsed lung(SHOWOFF) or anything but i will be getting some meds soon. buffy called them in for me.

i was playin with buckshot in the yard and turned my ankle all the way out. i was cussing up a storm, the pain was incredible. then i had to get up and coach 2 games...of course i cant sit down and do that, lol. i'm goin in monday for x-rays...”

“Wow, sorry to hear that, Cats.

Good luck with the ankle, Strat. Try to get some physical therapy for it if you can. I just went with the 'let time heal it' method with my ankle sprain and I think it took longer to get back up to speed.”

“thanks tilt, i'll do that.

buffy scored me some hydorcodones and i'm feeeeeeeeelin fine. i should sprain ma ankle more often, lol.

THANK YOU BUFFALOBABE AND DR ABERNATHY!”

“Better Living Through Chemistry!

Proceed directly to the "I'd like to thank" thread.”

“strat, is buckshot the name of yer dog? Cant figure how ya wiped your ankle out with the shotgun stuff. ?

anyho... welcome to the list and enjoy the drugs and lame excuses for a while.

personally I decided its time to rejoin the healthy side of things and get back ta da hikin.... later all.”

“Congratulations, DOM. Don't let the door hit you in the ass, LOL”

“just great, just as I was leaving I had a sever accident with the door.... thanks alot tilt!

j/k as if....”

“Yeah, that doorknob can be Rough....”

“The doctor said it might lead to hemmorageing... er sorry miss read that %b”

“Hope your recovery goes better than mine - a year and 3 months after my sprain, and I'm still on IR....”

“you clutz...sorry to hear of your impending amputation...I can carve you a mean walkinfoot...

Feel better soon...

Im feeling mighty sore after a 19.8 mile hike, but nothing thats gonna put my in this ward with you parapalegics...but, tomorrow, Im gonna be limpin a bit.”

“I wasn't going to tell Strat how long it took for my ankle to come back to 90%... Ankles are just bad news if they get a real sprain.”

“thanks sticky, yes dom, buckshot is my dalmation. i named him that cuz it looks like ho got shot with buckshot.

ankle's doin much better. buffy got me this killer sock thing that compresses it(dr's advice) and elevated it and iced it a lil. these hydro's keep me awake though, lol”

“I sprained my ankle on Chicago's Michigan Avenue around Thanksgiving. I wore a lace-up brace for a bit, although I was walking on it right away (and never went to doc.. I've had plenty o' sprained ankles from volleyball)

I laid off wallyball for 2 weeks. Then wore the ankle brace thing for the next 3 weeks I think. Then I was off over Christmas and for another 2 weeks in there somewhere.

The past 2 times I've gone without the brace and wearing low top shoes. Felt really good!! YEEEEE HAW!!! So best of luck to you, stratdewd klutz! lol”

“thank you Lizzy McTripsalot...”

“Tilt...you feeling better?
Sorry to hear about your ankle strat.”

“Heal folks. I did a four-mile walk on the canal towpath yesterday, and for the first time the broken leg was not an issue. Walking into the brisk wind was an issue, but I was looking forward to a tail wind on the return leg. Alas, when I turned around to come back, the wind died.”

“Geobeet suggested I put myself on this list, so here I am - me the klutz. A few years ago I busted a tendon in my left calf during karate. Last night I did the same thing to my right calf doing step aerobics. It felt like someone hit me with a baseball bat. I can't put any weight on the leg. Last time the doc said I didn't need that tendon anyway. Anybody ever do this?”
