The Joys of 2 Strokes

Yes it was very similar to pulling teeth. I was slightly anxious when I saw he was using a pair of long nose pliers that are just run of the mill from mitre 10 or some such. Would quite happily have been knocked out for it.

When I did the break and the manipulated the bones back into place (I broke it in 6 places) it was really uncomfortable. I could feel all the bones crunching around but didn't hurt at all. One thing that is very vivid was that they had the radio on in the background, Iron Maiden - Run to the hills, a song that will always bring back those memories!

Eww I had the mini version of that taking a couple pins out when I did my scaphoid in the wrist.

Same deal, at the specialists practice he just says oh we'll just whip them out now in the nurses room out the back. Whaa?? Made sure I looked the other way, wishing I hadn't just chowed some MC'd. Quite glad I didn't get a video myself looking at that.

He could only pull one of mine under local, second one was too far in (despite his tugging attempts with those bloody pliers ) so I got knocked out for the last.

Oh mate I couldn't watch that, had some stitches put in last week & suggested they had a mirror on the roof, but it's weirder when it's someone else.

Hope the hand gets back to full mobility dude.

Its well on its way, just been at physio and have approx 15 degrees one way and about 70 the other. Need to get that 15 to about 30 and I'll be sweet to ride at Manfeild. Might see ya there??
