Yeh, but I bet you didn't go in on the last Friday before Christmas like I did and I swear they forgot me. When I finally came out they were all p&^%ed and the nurses were all chirpy.
Did someone say music? All I got was hammering- probably the guy next door trying to get out. They forgot him too.

Underfoot, I'm glad you've lived to tell the tale.
What a sod. What a scare.
Mortality came knocking and your Camry blew it off.
...
For claustrophobes like me, if the thing is happening in a hospital I tell them that I'll throw up all over their machine if they don't provide a sedative.
If I have some notice I take a valium. The Doc is happy to prescribe. My teeth aren't the best cos I always hated having a mouth full of the dentist's hardware; couldn't care less about the pain. Since the valium discovery it's all smooth sailing.Cheers, Ern

God Undie, I hope the Mrs picked you up a lottery ticket when she got the chair. Just glad to hear you're ok
(well other than having the cr_p beaten out of you). Now stop winging and get back to work!!
I bet we see some enlighted work from you in the next pieces
Get well soon mate.

Ouch....I can feel my teeth rattling.
So lucky to be able to sit around and talk about it.
All the best.
Will we be seeing a big Mer-Camry carving/sculpture in the near future.
(I'm heading up to Bellingen on Friday to see David's sculpture in the Council park.)Scally

Thanks for all the well wishes folks
everything's healing up as per google search (and doctors prognosis),
the unexpected onset of tourettes (when I cough, sneeze or laugh) is also going away
Some more things I've discovered during convalescence.
1...life is good
2...Inactivity and underfoot are natural enemies, (some blokes should not be allowed too much time to ...just....sit...and..... think...)
3...using downtime wisely and the interweb is a contradiction
4...mates that drop around and see if they can make me laugh are still mates...(the bastards).
5...did I mention that life is good
what if the hokey pokey is really what it's all about?

Well, you could look at the experience and plumb it for lessons about getting older and less able. The inactivity thing is a real challenge in my book.

Life is good & it is good to see you still have yours big fella.
I have had 2 people try to clobber me on the road so far, lucky for me, neither them or I we not traveling at any speed.
Both times it has been the other person's fault, they went through a red light.
Both times the car I have been in has had to be towed from the site.
I still count my lucky stars.Cliff.
If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

Ouch! Glad you are still with us underfoot and I am sure your family feels the same way. What happens to Mr Invulnerable - will he be charged?

I can really identify with the inactivity bit, and all I have stopping me are two detached tendons on the finger tips of my index and middle finger of my left hand. I'm wearing these little plastic splints and Doc says no using my left hand for the next 6 weeks for anything other than dressing myself and yes I can use a keyboard!
Compounded by being physically away from my shed for the last 3 months I'm frustrated as hell by this. Of course I could always get stuck into my day job backlog but that just doubles the frustration! ARRGGGGH!!!!

Bob, what a sod!
How'd it happen?
Maybe start a new thread so as not to detract from UF's brush withirrelevancemortality.Cheers, Ern
