HEY DOC

[Grubstake]

DOc, you better ship ROB some stuff to sell, he'sabout empty handed, Tell coiltek, to make up a batch of Platypus coils, there dynomite coils, once the people see how good they produce, they will be in demand. But don't sell them in my area, only NV. and AZ. I want to have the only one in this part of the country. Grubstake

I've just been lurking on the forums, because it is so hard to type with my bum shoulder.

Not a lot of pain from the shoulder, just very stiff and a limited range of motion.

I got the surgical report that said I had a tear of the labrum, from 11 o'clock to 2 o'clock. There was also a small partial tear of the supraspinatus, whatever the hell that is.

They sank two anchors into the bone with wire sutures attached and resutured the labrum back to the bone after they scrapped the bone clean.

Then they did a bursectomy. They extended this all the way out to the clavicle because I had a huge bone spur under the clavicle. They removed 5 to 6 mm of bone.

Then they did a CA ligament release, whatever that means?

Glad this is my left arm, which is my digging arm, and not my swinging arm.

I'll be glad when this is all healed. I don't do sick well. I keep getting these twinges of spasm in my shoulder that hurt like hell. Feels like someone with a pair of pliars in there twisting and pinching the muscle.

Take care and Happy New Year Everyone

Geeez Doc, I could have done all of that for you, with supper glue, anda pair of needle nose pliers. Sorry your hurting so much, Get well and get back to hunting. Grubstake

Doc Have you been to pain and torture (physical therapy) yet. The fun has only just begun. I also have a couple of screws in my shoulder. I should have gone to Grubstake's surgery clinic and saved a lot of pain. Wishing you the best. Jerry

Hey Doc Right around the time you were going to surgery I called I think on a Wednesday and got the answer machine. I left a message and said I wanted to buy a 3500. No one ever got back to me. I got it taken care of already. just wanted to let you know.


Hey Grubstake I got a platypus coil. I'm in Sacramento. I haven't used it yet but it keeps telling me it wants to go to Grubstake's patch. I guess thats where they go to have fun.

 

[Grubstake]

1dredger, I think you better teach that coil how to find gold in your patches, only one Platypus to a patch, and mine already has one! Thank you very much. Grubstake

 

[DOC]

I am really sorry. I was running around trying to get things in order so I could take some time off after surgery, and Neta came down with the flu.

However, if you left a message on extension 14 we should have got back to you.

I apologize, I hate to lose a sale, or at least answer questions for you.

Thanks!

Hey DOC, with all the wires and screws, your going to have fun the next time you decide to fly, My mother in law has a Pacemaker, and can't go throw the metaldetector, so they do a private room inspection on her! Boy does she get mad, you know how 80 year olds don't like to be undressed, in front of no one!Grubstake

From what I understand from my wife, its not easy. Her mother was mad as a wet hen. She had a letter from her DOC, saying she had a pacemaker and could not go threw the Metaldetector, as it would have effects onthe pacemaker, so they wheeled her into a room, {she's in a wheelchair} and made her take her blouse and Bra off. so they could inspect her. She was flying from Fresno Ca, to Jacksonville Fl, to see her other daughter. Boy was she mad. Grubstake

I don't know about that, but I know that when an 80 year old woman in a wheelchair gets mad, you better look out! I personally though it was kind of dumb on the security people, Its not like a 80 year old woman, with a pacemaker and one leg shorter than the other from polio and diabetes is going to be a danger to anyone, but her son-in-law! Thats me. Grubstake

 

[1dredger]

Grubstake sounds like a plan. I wasn't sure if they worked better by the 2or 3s. You have been doing well. You are an inspiration

 

[DOC]

First I had no idea that 80 year old women could fly, and I certainly did not know that apparently they fly better without their blouse and bra ! Who would have thought it ?

You would think that those things flopping around might interfere with flapping your arms.

My mother in-law can fly, but since broomsticks are out, she is limited to the air space that the electric broom has, unless she use's the cordless dirt devil. Grubstake
