Toyomafia - Clubhouse. CRU house!

Oh my goodness! I think you just might like submarines - maybe.

 

Seamen

 

Just a bit. LOL.

I actually really enjoy military literature in general, both fiction and non-fiction.

 

Gold crew was another good read. read Blind Man's Bluff nearly 25 years ago. My dad gave it to me. He was mostly a boomer sailor during his 12 years active duty and another 10 or so in the reserve.

 

Yep, pains manageable. Two weeks until rehab, just changed out the bandages for the first time

 

Glad to hear that Andy.

 

All good news for a not so good situation. Glad ur doing ok man.

 

Nice hat! Good to hear it went well.

 

Good to hear..
If they didn't tell you, a tip for pain meds:
Take stool softeners while taking opiate pain meds, you'll thank me later...

When I had my back surgery 2 years ago, they had me taking vitamin supplements and stool softener daily for a week before the surgery.
Those stool softeners sure came in handy when taking the pain meds...

 

Yep. When I worked in pharmacy world, they'd suggest it to help.

 

Good deal
The last picture is the best - I’ve got the right attitude it looks like.

 

Hoping it's a speedy and complete recovery! If it is speedy, don't tell work! You need the vacation.

 

I think he's on workman's comp right?
Drag that shit out, take the summer off...

 

Doc says I won’t be healed for 3 months at least. No reason to rush through rehab. My workers comp lady thinks I should stay out to the new year. I’m aiming September

 

Glad to hear it went well.

Stay on top of your pain, Andy. A lot of ppl drop off too soon and it can creep up on ya quick. Then you’re fighting a losing battle trying to get on top of it again

 

That’s why I’m up at 3 AM, taking my meds

 

Glad everything turned out ok!

 

Quick night out at the ranch last night. A fine time.

 

@MARanger once you've recovered some but before you are back to work:

Polar plunge!

 

I'm with the workers comp lady.
As long as you're getting a comp wage that pays the bills take your time.
You earned this...

I was out 8 months with my back issues and surgery 2 years ago.
Although I only got $500 a week on disability, a fourth of my regular paycheck.
But I went back to work in better overall shape than when I left.
Unfortunately, back to 13-hour days and that better shape quickly diminished.

I'm hoping to bid on a run with fewer hours in the annual bid in April.....
I'm getting tired of those 13-hour days 5 days a week.

 

Comp is 60% of regular salary, but I can supplement with my sick time, with over 600 hours on the books, I’m more than good for awhile. I’m using about 2 days a week to stay close to full pay. I’m also earning hours of while I’m out.

 

That is good.
Rehab isn't easy, but it's better than being at work.
Enjoy your time spent at home with the family.
When you get to feeling better do those things around the house you never had time for.
Those kids grow up quickly.
Kiss the wife, the kids, and the dogs every day....

 

Love this!

 

Not sure I’d quite call it polar when you’re in AZ

 

It was fresh snow melt, crazy as it sounds, that was snow melt from the night before! I’m still de thawing!
Little man didn’t care after he figured out the shalllow spots, but Eman wasn’t to into it

 

Don't forget your 'rating' once you're done w/rehab prior to returning to work; they are often significantly understated, and it's not uncommon to require at least a consult w/attorney to get them to bump it to a reasonable quote...

 

Doesn't count if it's just your feet

 

You have to subscribe for the full dip. I’ve learned a thing or two around here….
