Arrrrgh.. Age & Stupidity

[Rick Murchison]

Yesterday I took some of my nieces & nephews & children & grandchild down to our little patch of woods to enjoy the wide-open spaces & the excellent weather. I decided to climb a tree, and lept up to grab hold of a limb and swing up onto a low branch. The leap was high enough, and I grabbed the limb with both hands, but as my full weight was applied I heard the disconcerting sound of ripping tissue in my left arm - sounded just like someone ripping fabric!
So it looks like I'm a one armed bandit for a few weeks and will have to stay out of the water... AAAAaaarrrrggggghhhh!
I hate that!

Perhaps a little to much holiday turkey adding to the ballast? Sorry to hear about it, best wishes for a speedy recovery.

I too have a problem with my mind thinking it's younger than my body is!!

Heal up soon!

Hope it is a little soft tissue issue. . . the joints are a pain (pun intended).

you just stop healing quickly...don't rush the recovery, that's always my big failing. Should reduce the number of 'honey-dos', tho...

Gettin' old(er) ain't for sissies!

Hope you heal as good as new

Same thing happened to Woody on Toy Story.

Do you still have the arm? Can it be sewn back on?

better your arm then the tree branch ripping...well, I guess it depends on how high you were. :/


What are you going to do in your down time?
