Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Amos Date: 29 Aug 12 - 05:35 PM AWRIGHT Ernie!! Now, about the GEtaway.... |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: gnu Date: 29 Aug 12 - 05:19 PM Great news. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Lonesome EJ Date: 29 Aug 12 - 03:26 PM Saw the therapist today, and her prognosis was a complete healing and return to normal strength and agility. When I asked "how long", she smiled and said "that's partly up to you and how much you exercise the hand", so, looks good. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: GUEST,olddude Date: 29 Aug 12 - 10:16 AM Get better soon my brother. I am so sorry to hear you got hurted love ya bro |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: JennieG Date: 29 Aug 12 - 03:44 AM When my wrist was still healing from its break (both radius and ulna at the wrist ends) and guitar chords - particular C - were still hard to play, I bought a ukulele. Playing chords on it are a snack compared to guitar chords, and it certainly helped my recovery. Cheers JennieG |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Lonesome EJ Date: 29 Aug 12 - 12:35 AM My hand actually looks great, healthy, etc...it just looks like Tony Soprano's hand. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Lonesome EJ Date: 29 Aug 12 - 12:33 AM aw, get away... |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Bert Date: 29 Aug 12 - 12:33 AM Mojo, mojo, mojo! |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Amos Date: 28 Aug 12 - 11:04 PM Second what Janie says. THere are hundreds of jobs for a man of your charm, but only one Getaway... ;>) |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: ChanteyLass Date: 28 Aug 12 - 10:07 PM I hope your physical therapy goes well. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Janie Date: 28 Aug 12 - 08:54 PM You know the ether is filled with Mudcat Mojo beaming continuously toward Colorado, (Mudcat Mojo Meeting in the Air!) but isf you want an extra strong dose, sacrifice your job and come to the Getaway! |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: gnu Date: 28 Aug 12 - 06:41 PM Spaw... it ain't about heavy weights, it's about reps. Repetitive strain injury is serious shit. Being premature in recovery can go either way. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: catspaw49 Date: 28 Aug 12 - 06:34 PM I think he could "cuff his mutt" gnu. I recall a discussion on the subject way back when I think he just uses the thumb and forefinger........ Get bettter Blondie Grease |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: gnu Date: 28 Aug 12 - 05:05 PM "I tried an A chord yesterday and didn't begin to have the required dexterity for it." Agggghhhhh! DON'T do squat until you are well into physio. Don't even cuff yer mutt. >;-) |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Lonesome EJ Date: 28 Aug 12 - 04:44 PM Well, gnu, the guitar for that was done over a year ago, so I added some one-handed tamborine and overdubbed some vocal. I came out of the cast a week ago, and still have a lot of swelling. The bones have mostly healed and have apparently healed straight, and I start therapy on Thursday. I don't anticipate being able to play at all for another month or two. I tried an A chord yesterday and didn't begin to have the required dexterity for it. Still optimistic, but have a ways to go. Keep the mojo coming! |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: gnu Date: 28 Aug 12 - 01:56 PM I see another vid on your thread above the line... time for an update? |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Lonesome EJ Date: 19 Aug 12 - 07:29 PM Long as I don't have to wear the blue suit and red cape, I'll take the Lap of Steel. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: gnu Date: 19 Aug 12 - 05:38 PM "lapsteel"? That sounds like bragging. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Mooh Date: 19 Aug 12 - 05:06 PM Good luck. Maybe work on your slide or lapsteel? Peace, Mooh. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: catspaw49 Date: 19 Aug 12 - 10:31 AM For your sake Amos, I'd hope so 'cause all you got is a ukelele.................... Spaw |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Amos Date: 19 Aug 12 - 10:10 AM It's not the size, it's what you do with it... |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Nigel Paterson Date: 19 Aug 12 - 03:51 AM Big apologies from Ann & myself...completely missed this thread. I'm grateful to Spaw for bringing it to my attention. LEJ, we send you our very best wishes & kindest thoughts for a speedy recovery. From what I've read here, your prognosis looks good. Being a patient patient is probably the toughest part. Let Mother Nature work her healing magic & your Martin will spring into life quicker than you can say: "Paul Simon's Martin always looked too big for him!" With Love, Nigel & Ann Paterson. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Janie Date: 18 Aug 12 - 10:13 PM gotta love all you warped guys...the guitar playing will be good Ernie, soon enough, and that lovely Martin is patient. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Bobert Date: 18 Aug 12 - 09:02 PM Every time I have busted up, cut up or broken stuff in my hands I have come out a better geetar player... Just keep that in mind, Eee-jay... B~ |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: catspaw49 Date: 18 Aug 12 - 08:44 PM You're supposed to light the match FIRST, not afterwards. That was an important thing Pujol and Windesmear worked out. Sorry about your eyebrows but I was thinking with these you'd be looking pretty sharp.......maybe even better than before! Hope you're healing up! Spaw |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Lonesome EJ Date: 18 Aug 12 - 12:28 AM I tried your ritual, Catspaw, and now my eyebrows are gone. Thanks. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Amos Date: 17 Aug 12 - 08:21 PM Lo, the Grayte Jahdroole has spoken. Let his will be done! ANd I want pictures. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: ChanteyLass Date: 17 Aug 12 - 06:42 PM I am sending you uplifting thoughts, but don't try uplifting anything heavy until your injured hand heals. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: ClaireBear Date: 17 Aug 12 - 03:25 PM Damn! I missed the part about your not coming to the Getaway THIS YEAR EITHER. You do realize that you are depriving us of your sweet self two years running? This has got to stop! Thinking healing thoughts for you and, while I'm at it, sudden schedule- changing difficulties for that dang trade show. Claire |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: catspaw49 Date: 17 Aug 12 - 12:55 PM You DO need some real Mojo Leej.......Let me take this laptop into the john and I will send the following chant which I shall repeat 7 times. This powerful prayer chant was transcribed by Lord Windesmear in 1921 after a prayer vigil with Joseph Pujol the French flatulist, aka Le Petomane. They were about 45 minutes into this session with the god Creppita when Pujol began speaking in tongues repeating the chant I will post below. When it was over, both passed gas and lit matches in the great god's honor. They also noted that many aches and pains they had each been suffering were gone! Over the years they developed this healing technique and it is what I will now do for you. More importantly, I will pass on the procedure so you can do it yourself. First you must be comfortably seated on the can. Then light a match and say, "I seek your favor Great Creppita." Repeat til the match burns out. I need to warn you here not to use one of those fireplace matches as I did once. By the time it burned out my left leg had gone to sleep and I fell off the crapper. When the match is out, repeat this chant 7 times: Booda loop, booda loop, poit-poit, fflllluuuubbb, BBBRRRAAAAWWWWMMMPPP Booda loop, booda loop, poit-poit, fflllluuuubbb, BBBRRRAAAAWWWWMMMPPP Booda loop, booda loop, poit-poit, fflllluuuubbb, BBBRRRAAAAWWWWMMMPPP Booda loop, booda loop, poit-poit, fflllluuuubbb, BBBRRRAAAAWWWWMMMPPP Booda loop, booda loop, poit-poit, fflllluuuubbb, BBBRRRAAAAWWWWMMMPPP ZZZZIIIZZZZZ FLEEP Now fart after the 7th time and if you can smell it over the burnt match, your prayer will be answered. I will offer the prayer for your healing. You need to do this as well or it may not work as well. Good Luck Leej. Spaw |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Amos Date: 17 Aug 12 - 12:08 PM LEJ: The reason is you just had to go and slip in that remark about the tradeshow being more important than the Getaway. Did you really think you were gonna get away with it under the smokescreen of your request for mojo? The SPirit of the Cat sees all, knows all...and sends your hand her healing blessings, especially the middle finger. A |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Charmion Date: 17 Aug 12 - 08:12 AM Glad to hear it, Ernie. I look forward to seeing you perform the famous impression of a spider doing push-ups on a mirror. Actually, I look forward to seeing you, period. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: jacqui.c Date: 17 Aug 12 - 06:53 AM Just found this thread. Lots of good thoughts coming from Maine. I've been through this malarky twice - carpal tunnel decompression in both hands. Luckily they did them one at a time or I would have really found out how much my ex-husband loved me............ |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: gnu Date: 17 Aug 12 - 06:20 AM Glad to hear of the progress. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Severn Date: 17 Aug 12 - 03:18 AM Best healing and recovery wishes comin' atcha. Sometimes the weight isn't well worth it. If you get real good at recovery, I have a sofa that needs to be recovered. Here comes your Moe, Joe and Larry too! |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Lonesome EJ Date: 17 Aug 12 - 03:03 AM shit. See? My left hand inadvertently hit the submit key before I could complete my sentence. I wish some of you could see what a pathetic shadow of my former ambidextrous lifestyle I am currently bumbling through, and maybe I could get some fucking mudcat mojo up in this bitch instead of a load of comments about my ass and polishing turds. I don't know why everybody else starts a "mudcat mojo" thread and gets sincere well wishes and prayers and invocations to the Great Spirit and such goings on, and I get turd polishing jokes. Anyway, yes, it's coming along. I have a cast on the little finger and ring finger and the rest is out in the open and feeling more limber and stronger. I will have the whole cast off Monday, and start the rehab program. Sincerely, thanks for the good wishes, and things are coming along well, thanks. Love y'all, ya rotten tarts and bastards all. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Amos Date: 16 Aug 12 - 11:24 PM I think until you can start getting some regular-like again, that you might consider changing your handle to Lonesome McDangle. Just sayin'.... |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: katlaughing Date: 16 Aug 12 - 11:05 PM Nah,,,gotta be patchoulli, man! |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: catspaw49 Date: 16 Aug 12 - 10:42 PM This is disgusting. This has turned into a completely shitty thread! I am incensed and this thread needs some! Sandalwood might be nice............... Spaw |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Jeri Date: 16 Aug 12 - 09:45 PM Spaw, the Mythbusters have proven you CAN polish a turd. You just need poop, water, a cloth, and preferably, rubber gloves. LEJ, I hope the healing is going well. I agree an update would be nice. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: GUEST,999 Date: 16 Aug 12 - 09:32 PM "Happened the day after I got the hook." |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Janie Date: 16 Aug 12 - 09:28 PM you had to be there, 'Spaw, to fully appreciate.... Nevermind! Do you still have to scratch what itches with the wrong hand, LEJ? |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: catspaw49 Date: 16 Aug 12 - 09:18 PM Speaking of which - some of us are aware of what a cute butt our LEJ has. Fisrt hand inspection thru a window, All's well, LEJ? It ain't his ass he smashed Sisns.........There are problems he might have there but he didn't mention any in this thread. Try to keep up....................... Spaw |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: ClaireBear Date: 16 Aug 12 - 08:40 PM Youch! Somehow I missed this. So sorry to hear about your mishap. Get better quickly please; I am hoping to watch the sun rise over Chesapeake Bay with you soon. Granted you don't need your hands for that, but still... Soon, Claire |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: SINSULL Date: 16 Aug 12 - 08:36 PM Must I remind you boys that this a family forum???? Take you dirty talk outside and shove it up your asses. Speaking of which - some of us are aware of what a cute butt our LEJ has. Fisrt hand inspection thru a window, All's well, LEJ? |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: catspaw49 Date: 16 Aug 12 - 08:12 PM Rub one out huh? I've heard that used before but I could never ask about it. You seem to be knowledgeable in this matter so let me ask you. Its often said that you can't polish a turd but seemingly, according to you, you can! How does that work? Special rubbing compound? Wax? Do you buff it out? Spaw |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: gnu Date: 16 Aug 12 - 07:02 PM Spaw! You'd be the one to ask about ass wipin on accounta yer dick is dried up and useless. Not that I care about whether LEJ can rub one out. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Janie Date: 16 Aug 12 - 05:58 PM Definitely time for a progress report! |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: catspaw49 Date: 16 Aug 12 - 03:45 PM Gawdamn.......I am so sorry.......I only was on briefly during this thread and I missed this thread completely. Now that I know.....well, like, uh.....get better and all , ya' know? So..........Tell me, I don't give a shit about your gitar pickin' but, and thinking of shit, how's your ass wipin' going? See, that's critical and a lot more entertaining as a story than the fact that you're going to have to leave the ax alone for awhile. Even if you still have your good hand to use, I had another friend in a similar situation who fell off the john because he used the bad hand to sort of balance in a cramped restaurant stall. Now HE had a great story! Work on yours................. Spaw |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: maeve Date: 16 Aug 12 - 03:37 PM Indeed! How is the recovery coming along? |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: gnu Date: 16 Aug 12 - 03:04 PM SOOOO? Enquiring minds want to know! |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: YorkshireYankee Date: 27 Jul 12 - 12:38 PM Of course, now I can barely take out the trash, and raking the lawn is definitely out of the question. So that's why you did it! Seriously though, hope you mend as quickly as humanly possible. (It's obvious your sense of humor hasn't suffered...) |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: michaelr Date: 27 Jul 12 - 11:44 AM Best wishes for a quick recovery, EJ! |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Lonesome EJ Date: 27 Jul 12 - 11:33 AM "Best geniuses"? You talkin' to me? This entire episode would tend to indicate I lack even the most elementary reasoning skills. Of course, now I can barely take out the trash, and raking the lawn is definitely out of the question. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Amos Date: 27 Jul 12 - 10:46 AM Well, we don't want Fate messing with any of our best geniuses, do we? Moral: do NOT exercise, and if you MUST exercise, do it by taking out the trash and raking the lawn, NEVER on a machine. A |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Lonesome EJ Date: 27 Jul 12 - 02:19 AM All jokes aside, I do appreciate the good wishes and thank every one of you for your concern.. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: open mike Date: 27 Jul 12 - 01:31 AM the lesson is: stay away from those durned exercise machines! Best wishes for complete recovery and rehab! |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: katlaughing Date: 26 Jul 12 - 06:05 PM McDangle's???**BG** Better be sure that kilt is long enough! |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Lonesome EJ Date: 26 Jul 12 - 05:42 PM Kilt? Funny you mention that. I'm wearing one now. It's the "Easy Breezy Tartan" model from McDangle's of Dundalk. I have trouble unbuckling my claymore though. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: GUEST,Eliza Date: 26 Jul 12 - 05:13 PM I'd be only too happy to help you pull your breeks up and down, LEJ. But have you thought of wearing a kilt for the duration? (Easy access and all that) |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Lonesome EJ Date: 26 Jul 12 - 04:33 PM "Did you cry?" would be a better question, Bruce! |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: GUEST,999 Date: 26 Jul 12 - 01:04 PM Ernie, after wishes for a rapid healing and speedy complete recovery I'll get to the question everyone has but hasn't asked: Did it hurt? |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Ebbie Date: 26 Jul 12 - 01:02 PM About the itching, they say that the brain doesn't really differentiate, so when your hand itches, scratch (with what? t'other one. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Lonesome EJ Date: 26 Jul 12 - 11:34 AM Thanks Allan...that relieves some of the tension of waiting for Spaw's remarks! and MyGuru...since I really couldn't play much worse, if I can play at all there's no place to go but up! |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Allan C. Date: 26 Jul 12 - 06:25 AM Where the hell is Spaw? Okay, I'll try to offer a proxy comment: I'm hoping that isn't your "business" hand. I mean, how hard is it going to be to wipe your ass? Hey, is this going to interfere with your sex life? |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Leadfingers Date: 26 Jul 12 - 06:13 AM Commisserations EJ - Been there myself after a M/bike crash - Nineteen fractures and dislocations in my left wrist ! 'The Man' when I was in Rehab reckoned playing guitar ws excellent therapy so as soon as there is movement and NOT too much pain , get back in there . |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: My guru always said Date: 26 Jul 12 - 03:30 AM So sorry to hear this LEEJ! Hugs & positive thoughts from Old Keepers. Hope you heal quickly and do as your therapists tell you. Lots of hand exercises and you'll be playing again before you know it! Who knows, you might play better... I'll get my coat! |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: BlueJay Date: 26 Jul 12 - 03:06 AM Damn, Ernie, sorry to hear this. From what I've heard, casts don't make the best slides. BTW, love your songs! Thanks, BlueJay |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Sandra in Sydney Date: 26 Jul 12 - 02:48 AM walking round the block or in the park is good exercise heal well & as quickly as possible! sandra |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Amos Date: 26 Jul 12 - 12:51 AM Gawdmmit Lonesome!! This is carrying your "lame" excuse-making one damn step too far. You do NOT mess with the hand that plucks the Martin, ever. Listen talk to your hand and apologize for being a jadrool. Mebbe it'll forgivre you like and heal right up, providing you promise to take it to the Getaway. Honest to God, son, this is not a good way to get sympathy. Not thaty it doesn't work, but still... Heal that puppy clean and straight, buddy. Mebbe you should get a new handle once you're playing again--"Dead Hand Ernie" has a nice ring to it... |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Lonesome EJ Date: 26 Jul 12 - 12:45 AM well, gang, the Getaway is not happening for me, conflicting with the Ft Worth trade show again. hopefully the stars will differently align next year. I appreciate all the well-wishes and can feel my hand healing. Of course...that ITCHES LIKE HELL. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Nancy King Date: 25 Jul 12 - 09:07 PM Yikes! Healing thoughts speeding your way from here! Hope you're still planning on coming to the Getaway! |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: katlaughing Date: 25 Jul 12 - 07:47 PM LOL...I knew there'd be a quick response about your britches, LeeJ! I would imagine you could compile quite a list! Elastic waistbands make it a lot easier when one-handed.:-) Sorry to hear of this and am sending you all kinds of love, light, good thoughts, thanksgivings and a peck on the cheek, even, to heal up, quickly and thoroughly. luvyakat |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: JennieG Date: 25 Jul 12 - 06:52 PM Ouch! As another recovered one-hander, at least you don't have to worry about fastening a bra. Not on yourself, anyway. Cheers JennieG |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: alanabit Date: 25 Jul 12 - 05:02 PM Some Mudcat mojo heading your way from Köln. Many, many years ago a martial arts trainer told me never to train with anything other than the weight of my own body. It is also cheaper and you need less space! Glad to hear that the injury is going to heal. Keep us posted how the recovery is going! |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Rapparee Date: 25 Jul 12 - 04:56 PM Thank God you can still play the banjo and drink! That'll teach you about that fitness stuff. If you were meant to lift heavy weights you'd have been born a crane and if you were meant to run some irate father'd be shootin' at ya. In the meantime, from one recovering one-handeer to another...wiping is going to be hard for a while and I suggest wearing loafers instead of shoes that you have to tie. Why, in the name of all that's holy, were you in Iowa???? |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: rumanci Date: 25 Jul 12 - 04:55 PM Good thoughts and wishes from here too - bet you never do that again! This keeping fit lark is never that easy eh? Hope recovery is speedy, as painless as possible and complete and that the harmonica gets a good workout in the meantime. (I'll leave the one-handed occupational jokes to 'Spaw too.) rum |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Bill D Date: 25 Jul 12 - 04:48 PM Ow, indeed! Play lots of mouth harp... and stay away from Iowa! |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Charmion Date: 25 Jul 12 - 04:37 PM Holy crap, Ernie; that's not a joking matter. You have my most sincere sympathy and condolences. But this is no excuse to miss the Getaway, though one might stretch a point and consider it a reason. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: gnu Date: 25 Jul 12 - 04:28 PM OH MY!!! I hope your recovery is absolutely the best possible. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Lonesome EJ Date: 25 Jul 12 - 04:28 PM "How will you pull up your jeans?!" I am putting together a list of willing assistants and will be pleased to add your name, Eliza ! Also putting together a pulling-them-down list. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Bobert Date: 25 Jul 12 - 04:25 PM Danged, Eeejay!!! That sucks!!! That exercise stuff ain't all its cracked (no pun intended) up to be... Sorry, man... I really am... B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Ebbie Date: 25 Jul 12 - 04:13 PM Ow! Ow! Ow! I am so sorry- we'll send you all the pain-relieving and healing energy we can corral. |
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: GUEST,Eliza Date: 25 Jul 12 - 04:12 PM Sorry to hear this LEJ. Those machines can be quite dangerous, I've heard of similar accidents. How will you pull up your jeans?! Best wishes for speedy healing of your hand. Eliza x |
Subject: BS: Mudcat Mojo for LEJ From: Lonesome EJ Date: 25 Jul 12 - 04:04 PM Last Tuesday I was in Iowa and working out at the hotel fitness room when the weights got jammed in the track on the Nautilus machine. Never try to unjam a weight machine with your hand! Bottom line is I received a crush injury to my left hand with five fractures. None required surgery or pinning, but I'm in a cast and will probably have to go through a couple of months of therapy afterwards. So my Martin 6 string will be quite lonely for a while. I expect a good recovery, but will likely be left with considerable stiffness in my fingers for some time. It is cause for some concern, and I appreciate any positive thoughts, wishes, prayers, or even good-natured sarcasm (Spaw, I mean)as I heal. LEJ |
