Hot Rods Slowly getting there

Edcodesign.I hope it turns out better that my 2 total ankle replacements I had on my left ankle that both failed.Bruce.

 

Bruce I also had a full knee replacement, also both turned out perfect . The key for me was strict physical therapy. Ed.

 

Ed I had therapy on my total ankle replacement. After 6 weeks the screw backed out of my ankle. The Dr. said hummm maybe I should of used cement. The second one failed too. He found out the joint failed.{I still have the joint on my dresser, they gave it back to me by mistake}Then I found out it was the 1st time he had done one after I researched him and he it was said he had done them before. After the second failed surgery. He told me well it is what it is. I should of sued him. Bruce.

 

What a bummer. I got multiple recommendations form people in the field before I chose my surgeon, turned out good. Ed.

 

You should probably find another experienced surgeon who specializes in ankles and have another go at it.
They should be able to fix you up.

 

Blue one.I have been to 4 other surgeons{the last one was in Nashville T.N.} a 4 hour ride, who wouldn't touch it because the 1st quack made such a mess of it and took out too much bone in my leg.Bruce.

 

That sucks, there must be someone who could fix this screw up.

 

Worth it!

Sounds like some of us have more different parts in our bodies then the cars we build.

 

Blue one its been about 8 years ago and I have just learned to live with it.I am sure there are people out there with worse problems.Bruce.

 

Venom51 They are pretty cool.They call me when they are hungry.LOL.Bruce.

Greg.I am still trying to decide to go back to the stock gray color on a gun metallic gray. Bruce.

 

I have a local shoulder guy, interned working for the NY Rangers orthopedic team. Good with shoulders and just about anything else. My PT had bottomed out, I wasn't getting any better and my rotator cuff was a lot better. I had biceptal tendonosis too and they painfully stretched that out.

 

The tens unit works, Im considering buying one. Don't overlook the rubber band rehab type work. Doesnt seem like much but it got me thru a bad shoulder injury without surgery.

I guess this is where its headed, divert the car parts budget to rehab equipment, so we can work on cars. Big bottles of alleve and plenty of water, old timers went with whiskey, might just be better on your liver.

 

Maybe should have had them put in a couple heim joints...

 

I was following your last thread. What happened with the gunmetal metallic idea? It would look amazing on this car.

 

I must be doing something wrong, when she pulled a tendon in her wrist I got to be the house bitch lol.

 

UPDATE guy.Just got back from the Ortho. He looked at the ex rays and had me do some weight tests with my shoulder.He thinks it may be a torn ligment. He said you got 2 choices .1 get a $2,000 M.R.I. or 6 weeks of theory.I chose the therapy. 1st visit is Friday Morning. Bruce.

HEY Jetnow1 that's what my wife calls me!!!!.LOL.Bruce.

 

mental, or physical - Ha!

 

6 weeks of therapy (either physical or mental) should have you painting in no time!

Venom.I cant wait to hold that paint gun in my hand again.Thanks Bruce.

 

Kmrumedy.Still kicking the ideas around but I am pretty sure its going to be the gunmetal metallic gray.Bruce.

 

Bruce,have you considered Chrysler "Argent Silver"? Just a suggestion...

 

My shoulder PT ran me 3.5 months and helped a lot, but it won't help a torn ligament. Does medicare pay for an MRI?

 

51BIRD.Silver is one color I have never had luck painting. It always seemed to not flow out well and always was blochy looking .So that's one color I stay away from. Bruce.

 

Bob. I am not on Medicare yet. I am under my wifes insurance and its a $200.out of pocket deductible 1st.Bruce.

 

I was just thinking of asking if you'd ever sprayed metallic paint before. I can't speak from experience but was always under the impression that it took a little extra skill and patience.
