That's not bad. In the day, they split you from sternum to pubic bone. It took ages to fully heal and much longer for the scar to fade. And nothing ever worked quite right afterwards.I wish mine looked more like yours. I feel like I was in a knife fight.
Glad it was not done back in the day.
Dang Dude! It dose look like a knife fight, what happened?I wish mine looked more like yours. I feel like I was in a knife fight.
Kidney removal last Wednesday. I'm slowly getting back to normal. Every day is better than the day before.
I solved the problem with a Word document that has all my medical information. I print the first two pages (one sheet) before going to a new doctor/dentist/facility and hand it to them. It has my name, date of birth, address, phone numbers, email, insurance numbers and pharmacy (name, address and phone) at the top. Next is a table that lists all the doctors I see or have seen in the past, with their specialty, phone and fax. Next is a table that lists all the medicine I take or have taken, with the generic and brand names as well as the dose and frequency. The drugs I no longer take are shaded (with an explanatory note above the table that no one seems to notice). Finally, there's a table that lists all the major procedures I've had done with year, location and doctor.
Sometimes they ask "When was your last visit with your [fill in specialty]?" so I started tracking current treatment with dates and description of each doctor visit. When I get "that call" I offer to fax the two pages of information (most medical facilities still use fax machines) or the whole package. Those calls take very little time now and faxing or handing them the information three or four times is quite satisfying. Really cuts down on the form filling time at the office -- the answer to every question is "See Attached."
Yes, they wear you out with them, problem is they dont share and I did them three times online and twice over the phone.
Well Kirk what did you do
Looks good.Ok, we'll take that.
I'm debating the rotator surgery myself, I am going to at least go see a specialist for his opinion. I tore both of mine when they did my knees the first time.
I didnt do much of anything today, sat in the basement and watched YouTube videos. Trying to learn Fusion360!
I have made a few parts.
Yeah, my orthopedic surgeon said if it's really bad they can't do anything about it.
Maybe try TinkerCAD. IIRC it's online, and got a more simple graphical interface. I think it's free.
we found a few things that we just couldn't live without, pics to come.
Thanks Kay, I have that in the shed
Thanks, Sub. I appreciate that.
Well I knew the time was getting close so I put a light bulb in the chicken coop last week. The hens are five months old and it's time to earn there keep. Chickens will lay when they have around 15 hours of light daily, it dosnt have to be sunlight just light.
I'm so proud!
Josh and I moved the laying box and installed the new feeder today, and I forgot to get a pic. It worked well, I put 100 lbs of feed in it and it isnt half full, I'm going to the feed store tomorrow!
I got back to Josh's bumper, these are the bars I drilled last week to accept the clevis'
I bolted them to the frame and welded them to the I-beam plate.
The plate bolt is rusty, it's been there for a couple of months, the bar mounting bolt is clean.
We cut a piece of steel 61½"x 5½" and ran it all of the way across the bottom front edge, added a 2½"x16" piece to the top front edge, then a filler plate was welded inside, this is an attempt to keep the bumper from denting when he pushes trees down.
I welded inside to help keep it together, capped the ends.
Top plates were cut, you can see the reinforcement plated inside at this angle pretty good.
Welded, and ground smooth.
Then we took the bumper off and put it on the welding bench, I'll finish welding the back and grind everything smooth, and get it to powder coat before lunch!
Donnie said they had a slow day tomorrow and I may get it back tomorrow, that would be great.
Carefull there, Jim.. PETA may be after you for animal slavery
It's amazing how little light it takes for them to keep laying.
I get it. I used to love to see if the chickens laid any eggs at my grandma's. She had chickens that laid blue and green eggs. It would be Easter year round.
Yes, I think I did!
