GRAPHIC? Thats childs play.

I gotta see what the camera sees many days for work, some of the gastrointestinal stuff is nasty. Above is a photo from an arthroscope, I'll spare ya'all the colonoscope kind of photos. Nothing look like looking at a malignant adenocarcinoma of the ascending colon while you sip your morning tea.

SgtBill didn't throw up - Instead, he said "Give me more! Semper Fi!!"

Man looks like it hurt. Glad to hear you'll be good to go in a few weeks.

Ouch. The only good thing about something like that is -- absolutely nothing. Get well soon Bill.

Childs play , then I don't want to play anymore. I don't have any therapy at this point as the pins were supposed to be in for 4 more week's. The xray's yesterday showed that they had backed out and that they were not doing enough to keep them in and put up with them moveing and hurting me in the process. So out they came. I have the problem that I have too be in a lot of pain to notice anything because of the Morphine that I take twice a day. The old saying of let pain be your guide won't work for me because by the time it hurt's I will already be injured or re-injured in some way.

Thank's Henry, look at all the money that Aetna Ins. Co have saved.

I separated my AC when I was in high school and had a similar surgery. Three of the four ligaments which hold the shoulder and collarbone together were completely destroyed.

I was completely recovered and wrestling varsity within three months. I doubt my recovery time would be so speedy if it happened at this point in my life.

I hope you heal up solid, Sarge. You don't appreciate some parts of your body until they don't work so good.

May you heal well and be as good as can be in a few weeks, and kill that dang go-go-gorilla that threw the 4 wheeler on top of you.
You just have to ask yourself, is he telling you the truth based on knowledge and experience or spreading internet myths?
