C_WRX Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 Queue the tear gerking music...... Well I've known for a couple of months now it was going to happen but yesterday got the first part of my hand surgery done...leaving me from finger tip to elbow in plastercast !!! Couple months back tore the tendon away from top part of one of my fingers, basically meaning it didn't work. I now can't drive for likely the next 4 weeks till the stitches are out as it was just a rod that was put in (missing the first Glasgow run ! ) Gets worse....... All going well with this part I go back under the knife in 3 months time to reattach a tendon leaving me again in plaster - but for 3 months !!! . I can't drive during that time either. Gutted !!! As if the miles needed keeping down any more ! But the worse toughest part in all this is that I've to be handed my 10 week old daughter as I can only safely use the one arm just now.
mystery machine Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 Sorry to hear you're having a tough time, Colin. Hope it all works out for the best in the long run. Tam.

st3ph3n Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 They have the power, they can rebuild you! So if I see your car about should I phone it in as stolen - or worse - wife at the wheel?
oobster Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 Sorry to hear that, why don't you get one of those 'knobs' (fnarr fnarr) they have on bus steering wheels that'll make your car easier to steer? I suppose your op will give Pam & her five sisters a wee rest though!
colzo Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 Never mind the driving what about the OCD (Obsessive Cleaning Disorder)! Joking apart, all the best mate.

I was looking for an arm like Will Smith's in I,Robot but no luck, not available !! If you see my car, I'm not driving it and you post my first ever Was It You up then I'll be raging !! Although if you see a big old arm waving about from the passengers side I'll at least have been in it. Ah, the OCD Colin, that is tough going. I'll need to develop new techniques me thinks - like delegating ! Okay May and June but that's basically it for the summer time.
