Let's get an AS Posse put together and get up there and bust Jasha outa that there hopsital:biggrin:

Sounds good to me, we can hit In n Out Burger on the way out! Double double with grilled onions please...

Saw Whoreder !

Hilarious! I love it. Especially that it so aptly describes myself and most likely everyone else who spends more than five minutes on AS.

 

[deepsouth]

have very little range of motion on my hand and can tell that I have Avery long road ahead of me. I accept the challenge. Hopefully I can get out of here by Friday.
Thanks guys, your the best!!!!

And it's easy to offer support, you're the one doing the hard yakka ( work). Sounds like quite a few have had similar experiences. I was lucky to get a mate online who I never met for support when I needed it.

Just watch out for Physiotherapists. Some are sadists.

Friday sounds good for you - back home or just to a closer hospital?

Homeward bound?

 

[Tree Sling'r]

Homeward bound?

The word is Friday. So should arrive home early Saturday morning. I am hoping I don't have to go to another hospital. Fingers crossed, well on my left hand anyway, haha.

I hope ya get home on the weekend but if not , don't sweat it , it'll only be a short hop from the new place to home .
Keep it in mind that you want them to be sure your ready , no fun in having to go back because you weren't .

Wound vacuum, crazy huh?

 

[Jwalker1911]

Hope ya get to healing up good man.

Wound vacuum, crazy huh?

At first I thought it was your skin. Crazy. looks funky.

Didn't see the pictures on facebook since I don't have it but if you speak of a vacuum system there is probably only one system meant that I will try to explain.

The priciple is quite simple. We use it quite often. The steril sponge is placed directly onto the defective tissue and for an airtight seal a plastic foil is placed onto the skin. The idea is with suction to 1. get all "tissue fluids"(sorry don't know the correct english words) out of the wound, this further minimizes the chances of local infection, 2. the suction promotes the cells to grow, thus enhacing "new tissue" in the area so that the healing process is quicker. There are different modes of suction(f.e. continous, interval, etc.) and different types of sponges for different type of wounds(f.e. silver coated for infected wounds etc.). There are publications describing less scaring but I'm not to sure about it. But the healing is much faster and less prone to complications compared to the non vacuum days!
