Hi,

On June 20 of 2009 I was on Angeles Crest Highway and mis-handled a curve containing rocks and gravel. You can click on the link in my sig and read the entire sordid tale if you like.

Here's an x-ray of my broken left pinky finger.



Here are a couple of x-rays of my shattered kneecap after the surgery. ( I don't have any 'before' pictures.)





Here's what it looked like on the outside.



Here I am in my knee brace, cast, and walker next to my busted up Jessie.



Click the thumbnail in my sig to see what Jessie looks like today.

I'm surprised you survived your accident Mr. posplayr. It must've been touch-and-go for a while. What a close call. You take it easy there Jim.


Thank you for your indulgence,

Don't shoot!

Wow, such ugly stuff.
Cliff, I got to ask, how do they get those pins in there? Do they shoot them in with an air powered gun, or tap them in with a hammer?
Ow, ow, OW!
Bill

Hi Bill,

They use a staple gun. To get them out? A staple puller. Really!

And naw, it didn't hurt.

Chef's pins weren't pretty but Scott's arm was downright ugly.

Sorry, don't know why pictures doubled up

[BassCliff]

Wow Mr. Richsuz!

It looks like you and I had a similar procedure on the kneecap. But you have a LOT more hardware in your leg than I. Does it give you trouble in the airport? I imagine you are setting off metal detectors for miles around.

Was anyone here awake when wheeled into the operating room? I was, they had given me something to lull me down but I wasn't out when they wheeled me in. Not what I was expecting, looked more like a Carpentry shop, Drills, hammers, chisels, a Sawzall.

Man all you guys are making me queasy!

Was anyone here awake when wheeled into the operating room?

Yes, I was. The doctor was younger than I and everybody else looked like they were in high school. I must be getting old.

Not a thread for dinner time, eh?

Bill! I just looked at your video. Your hand was really funky looking when it came out of the cast. Eeeww!

A little discolored eh?
One of the pins hurt so bad when it was removed I almost jumped out of my chair.
So much for macho.

If I had known that…

Wow, Really? I'm so good with tools!
I think I chose the wrong carrier, I could have made my mother proud too, and “I could have been somebody.” If I had known that back in the day, I would have studied medicine.

This is a sick, disgusting, morbid thread!

I love it!

Well Cliff, I have not flown since the accident. But I did enter the US embassy in Guatemala, with all their sophisticated anti-terrorist security. Their machine picked up a matchbook in my pocket but the leg did not set off any bells! Add to that two 6 inch bars and four screws from a horse back accident, I am carrying abut 7 pounds of hardware in my body.

Did you loose some chops?

Here I am in my knee brace, cast, and walker next to my busted up Jessie.

So, how hard was it to play bass?
