It was a hell of a ride...

That rot was brittle, felt fine until it just gave, no warning.

 

[pro94lt]

How are you doing jolly?

 

[TheJollyLogger]

Still laid up and fighting the insurance company. I go see the doc tuesday to see if I can take the immobilizer off and start PT.

 

[ggoodman]

If anyone should fall from a tree, please take your self to the er and get scanned ASAP as there are way to many way to cause internal bleeding that can and will kill you in a hurry. sharp bones slice well. Glad your still here to tell the tale.

With a clav that badly broken?

You would be very wise to take it slow and easy until it's had time to graft together again properly.

I know a couple Macho blokes who didn't, ending with disgusting bulges of calcification just beneath the skin, on their clav's, giving them the igor look

Take the time your doc tells yu to mate.

Don't turn a temp injury into a lifetime ailment.

6 weeks or so as I recall for a broken bone to mend....

It's been almost seven weeks since the surgery. I just need to get healed up and working. Insurance co. is trying to starve me to death.

 

[Stayalert]

Sux about the insurance. Still wary of a bunch of trees on "My list" ……Heal well.

 

[TheJollyLogger]

update: Saw the doc today, out of the immobilizer, pt starts tomorrow. Hurts, but it's forward progress at least.

 

[TheJollyLogger]

First PT appt. today. I was tempted to go fall out of a tree just to get some relief.

 

[TheJollyLogger]

So to guys that have survivrd a fall. I guess slways in the bsck of my mind I thought this might happen. Having a tough time picturing what comes next.Aside from the physical aspect, what was that first climb like?

 

[HuskStihl]

You've been married about 7 times. You are therefore probably the most mentally tough man on the planet

 

[mckenzie355]

If at all possible, when I climb something to be removed, I always look for alternate tie in . Also when I'm in a leaner, I always try to play the lean, and take small bites. All in all that's some Scarry crap. I've had to make a couple emergency evacs my self. Glad your alright

All right is a relative term, but I'll get through it.Better support from the boss would have been nice, dropped me like a hot rock. It's all good.

 

[HuskStihl]

Sorry to hear that. Nice to see loyalty is alive and well

 

[tramp bushler]

Good to see your getting your pt ! . Where r u at. Still in Fairbanks or South.

 

[pro94lt]

Yeah how are you doing? Any long term issues?

 

[TheJollyLogger]

Still in Fairbanks. Comp hearing is the eighteenth. Still a dealing with more pain than I'd anticipated this far out. Looks like I'll recover 80-90%, so I'm probably retired from climbing.

 

[tramp bushler]

R u set up ok ? Digs plenty warm ect. ? I'll b in Fairbanks at some point probably within a month or so . Lord willing that is. Gotta go to Fbk. to go to the Slope.

Still a dealing with more pain than I'd anticipated this far out.

The pain will be with you a while. It's been two years & two months since i busted mine and I still feel it every day & every night. You get used to it (sorta). Best wishes on a speedy & complete recovery.

 

[HuskStihl]

Hey Glen, how've you been? Still working oilfield?
Jeff, I sure hope you are able to return to climbing, unless of course you'd rather be doing something else. Fear of heights and clumsiness forced me to quit climbing (ladders and such) a few years ago, and I miss it every day.
