Rsser's accident.

[rsser]

Today the thing's flared up cos I overdid the lifting during shopping.

But the hand therapist is now doing twice weekly massage and manipulation and that's freed it up a lot. I could no longer improve the rotation with exercises without pain.

Finally found out why she was so concerned about pain. Seems wrist and ankle fractures can cause a pain syndrome that leads to muscles, nerves and the local vascular system to go into overdrive. That locks up the joint and there's no certain remedy.

Sounds like certain proof that shopping is more dangerous than woodturning. Will have to pass this onto LOML

Hope it's improving Ern. Take it easy mate, as frustrating as that is to hear

Cheers,
Dave

[rsser]

Thanks Dave.

Yeah, slow and steady are not my middle names but I'm calibrating effort as best as I can.

The massage and manipulation leave the hand feeling light and pain-free and that's a wonderful break while it lasts.

In another era I could've got some distraction by plotting revenge through suing the other guy for pain and suffering; now we have a no-fault accident insurance scheme that can be sued if you get over a tough disability line. Like no arms or legs and a spike through the head ;-}

Always an up side isn' there?

Keep going Ern!

[Black Ned]

It would seem that your hand/wrist is "RS".
Hope it improves.
By the way, how do you pronounce "RSSER" and how did you decide on it for a handle?

[rsser]

LOL, the LOML knows that a shed session will produce nicer results than a supermarket one, but the hand therapist wants varied outings for the paw. I'm torn between two women ;-}

Ned, thanks.

I don't pronounce RSSER. It's a user name from the days when computing meant having an account on a mainframe. R was the abbrev. for the institution (RMIT), SS (Social Science) for the Dept., and ER are my initials.

Ah, the days of running multiple stats procedures on big data sets, just to see what might pop up, and to hell with the $$. But you paid for it with strict adherence to command formats and no help when you got it wrong ... which was often!

[Black Ned]

Well there you go.
I thought that it may have been be pronounced "AR ESS ER".
Like every thing you made turned "RS" and you were having a go at yourself.
I apologize for even thinking such a thing!!
I must congratulate you for having so many people on this forum that care about you and your health.
As i said earlier, I hope it improves and hope your not offended by my question or previous thought process.
I will now crawl back under my rock!
regards, Linden

[rsser]

LOL, no offence taken at all Linden.

Appreciate your take on the user name; sometimes all too true ;-}

I thought it was a power tool noise! You know. Kinda like how Meeeeeeeeuuuuoooooow! is a cat through a band saw. I thought Rsser nearly sounds liek a roughing gouge!

Too much heavy lifting during tool shopping I can understand, but supermarket shopping.... reckon you are going to have to get a grip on yourself with that one, Ern...

Lend him the LOYL's spinning wheel Neil its a little light turning

[rsser]

Fraid I do most of my tool shopping at the 'puter these days. A few clicks, a sucking sound from the bank account and a week or two later the Auspost courier arrives. We're on first name terms now

I'll get down to the open days of Woodworksupplies and Machinery Warehouse this week so I promise to earn a hernia picking up some specials. Will also be demo'ing some Easy Wood tools for Grahame of Woodworksupplies. Should be a good selling point: see what the lame and infirm can do with these tools

So you're the bloke who clogged up the printers with SPSS output!

[rsser]

LOL.

Guilty m'lud!

It was called data dredging and frowned upon. Occasionally something of interest popped up but without a research rationale it was a bit hard to insert it into the project.

These days, I have SPSS on the PC, along with command debugging, file import and export and all the rest. Today's young whipper snappers don't know how lucky they are ;-} I started with Fortran and it made me the man I am

Think it would need a second wheel and handle bar to raise any interest....
