He guys,
It's been a month since my last post. Reason being
I broke my tibia fibula just above my ankle clean through
on 12/30. =20

Got some titanium inserted inside where the marrow was
and screwed in in three places. I spent five days in the hospital
due to a fever I was running. The pain was incredible for
the first three weeks. Now I'm barely taking the pain meds.
They helped alot though. Toes are moving and feeling. They
tell me that's good. Ankle feels swollen and tender and is tough
to move.

Physical therapy is in house which is great although
very difficult. I am giving it all I've got to get back on my=20
feet asap. So far keeping the foot above my heart all
the time is the best way to keep the swelling down along with
ice after exercise.

I want you all to know that I've been looking in here over the
last few weeks and it's great to feel some what normal again.
I can't spend more than 30 minutes at a desk. The studio
has been out of the question although I'm looking for a way to=20
rest my foot on the console without falling out of my chair.
I am gigging once or twice/week which is way bad for me. =20
Gotta make a living. =20

My stereo amp is in the shop where I am sleeping and exercising.
When it comes back I'll be doing some big time listening.

Any tips from friends here would be great regarding healing
and/or music productivity while healing would be great.

I'm down but not out,
Tom

holy crap ! I hope you get well quick. For swelling i put 50% water and
50% isopropyl alchohol in a zip lock bag and freeze it. It will stay liquid
an be cold as hell.

Hey Tom,

Welcome back! Sorry to hear about your leg. Sounds like you're in good
hands and it's just a matter of time before you're back on your feet.

Music to heal by, (to start the list):
Mark Sloniker - True Nature
One Of A Kind - Bill Bruford

Cheers,

He guys,
It's been a month since my last post. Reason being
I broke my tibia fibula just above my ankle clean through
on 12/30. =20

Got some titanium inserted inside where the marrow was
and screwed in in three places. I spent five days in the hospital
due to a fever I was running. The pain was incredible for
the first three weeks. Now I'm barely taking the pain meds.
They helped alot though. Toes are moving and feeling. They
tell me that's good. Ankle feels swollen and tender and is tough
to move.

Physical therapy is in house which is great although
very difficult. I am giving it all I've got to get back on my=20
feet asap. So far keeping the foot above my heart all
the time is the best way to keep the swelling down along with
ice after exercise.

I want you all to know that I've been looking in here over the
last few weeks and it's great to feel some what normal again.
I can't spend more than 30 minutes at a desk. The studio
has been out of the question although I'm looking for a way to=20
rest my foot on the console without falling out of my chair.
I am gigging once or twice/week which is way bad for me. =20
Gotta make a living. =20

My stereo amp is in the shop where I am sleeping and exercising.
When it comes back I'll be doing some big time listening.

Any tips from friends here would be great regarding healing
and/or music productivity while healing would be great.

I'm down but not out,
Tom

Hey everyone,
You had me laughing and that's a healing agent right there!
Today's better than yesterday and it's usually like that.
Your well wishes are graciously accepted. =20

I'll get into the studio one way or another. I am in need of a new
armless chair with wheels. Does anyone have any suggestions
for less than $350 ? I like a firm lower back and adjustable
height at a minimum. The more bells and whistles the
better though.

Thanks!
Tom

Ow! Sorry to hear you broke a flipper. I won't ask who you were trying =

He guys,
It's been a month since my last post. Reason being
I broke my tibia fibula just above my ankle clean through
on 12/30. =20

Got some titanium inserted inside where the marrow was
and screwed in in three places. I spent five days in the hospital
due to a fever I was running. The pain was incredible for
the first three weeks. Now I'm barely taking the pain meds.
They helped alot though. Toes are moving and feeling. They
tell me that's good. Ankle feels swollen and tender and is tough
to move.

Physical therapy is in house which is great although
very difficult. I am giving it all I've got to get back on my=20
feet asap. So far keeping the foot above my heart all
the time is the best way to keep the swelling down along with
ice after exercise.

I want you all to know that I've been looking in here over the
last few weeks and it's great to feel some what normal again.
I can't spend more than 30 minutes at a desk. The studio
has been out of the question although I'm looking for a way to=20
rest my foot on the console without falling out of my chair.
I am gigging once or twice/week which is way bad for me. =20
Gotta make a living. =20

My stereo amp is in the shop where I am sleeping and exercising.
When it comes back I'll be doing some big time listening.

Any tips from friends here would be great regarding healing
and/or music productivity while healing would be great.

I'm down but not out,
Tom

Bill,
Do you really want to know? Okay here's the story.

The Pats had beat the NY Giants for the first time this season
and the beer was flowing. Now the game was long over and
three of us took a walk downstairs at about 3:30 AM to shoot
some pool. The other two had already started as I was on my
way down the 1930s wooden staircase. I made it 2/3 of the
way down when my left foot decided to go left just enough
to get lodged into the unfinished wall's studs. My upper
body continued down the last four stairs as if nothing was=20
out of the ordinary. Snap! There goes my leg.

In great pain my buds were chanting: " Shake it off ! " Riiight.
I realized that was not an option. I dragged my sorry ass=20
onto the stairs that had just accosted me. I begged my
friends to get me home which was right across the street.
The leg was hurting alot. My friend Dan decided the best way
to cart my 180lb body back to my home was in his cement dust=20
ridden wheelbarrow. I dragged that sorrowful ass of mine up his
deadly stairs across the dinning room and into his living room. =20
I couldn't stand the pain to make it onto his sofa so I remained=20
on the floor. Dan threw my body over his shoulder and gave me the=20
fireman's walk to the unassuming wheelbarrow which was down=20
four stairs outside his front door. =20

After arriving at my house a few painful minutes later, I was given
one more fireman's walk inside my home and tossed onto my
sofa. This is when my loving wife entered the picture. Her concern
for my well being was dwarfed by the humor my friend and I were
experiencing at the time. After Dan's quick departure I slept this
one off. Well not exactly . . . After waking up around 11:00 AM in=20
even greater pain, my wife and I decided to head to the emergency room. =

There a few oxycodone were popped which barely helped. By 4:00 PM=20
I was in consultation with the surgeon and 12/31 was chosen as the
day of the operation.

I can say that pain was the underlying theme from the moment of=20
the fall until three weeks later. All of the nurses enjoyed the ' =
wheelbarrow=20
chariot service ' story and were amazed that I waited eight hours before =

going to the hospital. Mass quantities of beer make men do strange =
things.

So Bill, that's my story as my friends and I remember it. I like =
telling=20
it to those that enjoy hearing about man's idiotic behavior and it's=20
potententially life changing outcome.

My leg's starting to ache.

Wow, too much fun. Reminds me of the time, I punched a wall stone drunk, =
thinking it was sheet rock, but in reality it was constructed out of =
cinder block. Man was I surprised when I heard my left hand snap. I was =
gigging in Lima with the Contemporary Orchestra in Peru, 1st Alto chair, =
and did the gig for 2 weeks with a broken hand. Of all of the memories I =
have of Lima, batidos made with Cherimoya, a creamy subtropical sweet =
fruit, cheap alpaca sweaters; what I remember the most is that you could =
buy Darvon over the counter. Darvon and I became well acquainted for 2 =
weeks and my hand set on its own, albeit a little crooked. I was in pain =
for 2 weeks, but managed to pull the gig off without anyone except a few =
knowing I was in pain. I had no strength in my left pinkie and I ghosted =
all of my low B and Bb's. I feel your pain.

Bill,
Do you really want to know? Okay here's the story.

The Pats had beat the NY Giants for the first time this season
and the beer was flowing. Now the game was long over and
three of us took a walk downstairs at about 3:30 AM to shoot
some pool. The other two had already started as I was on my
way down the 1930s wooden staircase. I made it 2/3 of the
way down when my left foot decided to go left just enough
to get lodged into the unfinished wall's studs. My upper
body continued down the last four stairs as if nothing was=20
out of the ordinary. Snap! There goes my leg.

In great pain my buds were chanting: " Shake it off ! " Riiight.
I realized that was not an option. I dragged my sorry ass=20
onto the stairs that had just accosted me. I begged my
friends to get me home which was right across the street.
The leg was hurting alot. My friend Dan decided the best way
to cart my 180lb body back to my home was in his cement dust=20
ridden wheelbarrow. I dragged that sorrowful ass of mine up his
deadly stairs across the dinning room and into his living room. =20
I couldn't stand the pain to make it onto his sofa so I remained=20
on the floor. Dan threw my body over his shoulder and gave me the=20
fireman's walk to the unassuming wheelbarrow which was down=20
four stairs outside his front door. =20

After arriving at my house a few painful minutes later, I was given
one more fireman's walk inside my home and tossed onto my
sofa. This is when my loving wife entered the picture. Her concern
for my well being was dwarfed by the humor my friend and I were
experiencing at the time. After Dan's quick departure I slept this
one off. Well not exactly . . . After waking up around 11:00 AM in=20
even greater pain, my wife and I decided to head to the emergency =
room. =20
There a few oxycodone were popped which barely helped. By 4:00 PM=20
I was in consultation with the surgeon and 12/31 was chosen as the
day of the operation.

I can say that pain was the underlying theme from the moment of=20
the fall until three weeks later. All of the nurses enjoyed the ' =
wheelbarrow=20
chariot service ' story and were amazed that I waited eight hours =
before=20
going to the hospital. Mass quantities of beer make men do strange =
things.

So Bill, that's my story as my friends and I remember it. I like =
telling=20
it to those that enjoy hearing about man's idiotic behavior and it's=20
potententially life changing outcome.

My leg's starting to ache.
T.

I begged my<BR>&gt;friends to get me home which was right across the=20

the best=20

a painful yet smart move. i had to go to the hospital a few weeks ago
with a tampon shoved up my nose...and a 5 hour nose bleed that
wouldn't stop until the public humiliation was complete. i'm still
not sure whether or not to thank the nurse at the doctors office for
the plug.
