Ok, I'm floating back! the swelling has went down around my right eye where at least i can see to type one handed.
yeah I know, where'd that sweet Penny go to, I'll let her back on soon
i think she enjoyed posting some. she is not much of a computer lady, but
likes to window shop on the internet so we just have to get her comfy.
i don't think she will turn pens but she sure likes the ones i give her!! LOL

I am floored at all the kind wishes..I LOVE YOU ALL LIKE FAMILY!:smile:
THANK YOU ONE AND ALL!!!!!!

been up at two hour intervals all night, not much rest, the arm is really
in pain.i can handle a lot of pain, but it is rough with this. 42 yrs old and
this is my first broken bones! i never knew what i was missing..hoooeee!

we are doing okay as of now, i sure appreciate all the offers to help out,
i know some of you are close enough to come over but i'm not ready to call
...yet!:biggrin: i may well do that after the surgery.
the doc said it was going to take a plate(s) and screws to put it back together in my wrist area.
the xray showed the long forearm bone driven back and mushroomed where
it was broke off, and the wrist bone it had went to driven up towards the
back of my hand..so yeah..not good.

the pain meds are losing zip, going to see about better ones today. not to my liking, i don't even drink and sure don't do any drugs so it is a bit of a conflict for me to take ?narcotics i guess they are. but, under the circumstances i got to.

we have a injury lawyer coming to visit the house this a.m to talk, and another one suppose to call. i want to get at least two experiences to have
a way of comparing. i hope it goes better than i hope in terms of just being able to get bills paid, and compensated for lost work.

I'll keep everybody updated and again,
YOU ALL ARE THE BEST EXTENDED FAMILY I HAVE EVER KNOWN!

kindest, humblest thanks.
John
 
JOHN!!! So glad to hear from you, man!! Take good care of that arm, and even better care of Penny! :biggrin: I'd give my left arm to have a wife like that!! :eek::tongue::biggrin:

Take care, my friend. Hope you're on your feet really, really soon. :smile:
 
John,
Pray you mend fast and well. Glad to see you are "interviewing" lawyers for the job.
Be well(er) my friend,
Vern
 
John,

Sorry that you are having to suffer through such unfortunate circumstances. I hope your recovery is quick and complete. Am happy that you have such a great family and friends. God Bless and God speed recovery!
 
John, talk to your doc about your pain level. If your meds are not keeping up with your pain, there are stronger things they can prescribe. When I broke my shoulder blade and had to wait a week until surgery, I escalated from Vicodin to Oxycontin in order to be able to manage the pain effectively and not be completely miserable.
 
Sorry I missed this originally. So sorry to hear of this happening to such a helpful and caring person. Prayers for you and your family and a speedy recovery. And do take the good drugs when they offer them. DAMHIKT.
 
A big Thanks to everyone for the continued kindness and care.:smile:
You all amaze me..better friends on here than a lot I have offline.
been another rough day but i'm still alive!
John

John, glad to see you are getting better. Take care. Get well soon.
 
John,

Great to hear you are doing well under the circumstances. While you are concerned about the use of drugs, just remember they are there to help ease your pain, you will be off them soon. Until then rest well and while i may not be of immediate assistance, if you need someone to talk to let me know.

Take care!
 
John, I'm praying for you. Take it easy and don't push it. Prayers for the doctor and all involved in the surgery. Hope things heal quickly.
 
John, just remember; As bad as it hurts today, it will get better. Even if it is hard to tell from day to day that things are improving, just remember that they are. It will take time, but you will get there. We are all rooting for you!
 
John, I'm really sorry to see this.
You will be in my thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery.
...PM me if you need someone to talk to while you are laid up.

Johnny you big wimp, you know you are supposed to just "walk it off".

Seriously, I've had broken bones and other injuries in places where I couldn't get to medical attention right away (way back in the woods). While I won't say that you can get all the way there with what has happened to your arm, your mind has a great deal of power over what you are feeling. You might find that you can shut off the pain at least temporarily without any help. If you can, you;ll get better and better as you practice.

Are you saying what Patrick Swazee's character in "Roadhouse" said... "Pain don't hurt".....:cool:

John,
I know that sometimes you need the meds to be able to sleep... and sleep will be your best friend for healing, but be careful with them... sometimes it's hard to get off... no experience myself, but have watched a number of people who have.

I've been lucky and only one broken bone in my lifetime (a big toe), but when I had my appendectomy the nurse brought me the little duck to pee in.... I could not lay in bed and use that thing,:eek: so I would stand beside the bed.... I hated to have to pee..:biggrin:. it was painful to try and sit up and slide out of bed.... when I had my umbilical hernia operation a couple of years back... same situation... only I learned to sit in bed and fill the duck.. :biggrin::biggrin:

We're all wishing you well and looking to see you up and around soon.
 
John, I just saw this message and too am wishing you a speed recovery. The big thing to remember is not to push yourself as that results in problems with healing - listen to the Doctor and the Mrs. Its a real bummer to have this happen just before Christmas but in spite of that, a very Merry Christmas and a healthy, happy and prosperous 2011 to you and your family.

I'm the crazy guy that lets the dentist drill on him without Novocaine. ;) what do you think? :biggrin:
 
Johnny, I don't get a lot of choice. My body metabolizes it too quickly, so a full daily dose of Novocaine wears off in about 5 minutes on me. Found the same with some sleeping pills and other sedatives. For me they just don't work like they are supposed to. :mad:

As a result, I've learned to ignore pain. Its either that or curl up and die and I'm not quite ready for that yet.:wink:
 
Johnny, I sure hope you get to feeling better soon. I didn't read through all of the posts beyond your wife's first one, since there are 20 pages, but I sure hope that the person who hit you is held responsible and pays all of your medical bills, plus more! What a horrible thing to have to experience- you have my thoughts and sympathies.
 
John,
Thoughts and prayers are with you. As has been said. Glad it wasn't worse. Drugs are your friend in a situation like this. Get ontop of the pain and stay there with regular doses. Cheers to a speedy recovery.
 
Any news . . .

Anyone have any news on Johnny?

I live in Louisiana so I can't really drop by and say hello . . .

Take care,
Steve
 
I hope you have a speedy recovery that doesn't require too many painkillers. I can't take them anymore myself, and I've just had to adjust to living with pain. Some days are worse than others. Being rock solid in the fact that the worst will be over soon enough does a lot for me. I also have become nearly dependent in advil to keep it from getting completely out of control.

WOW Johnny you had me scared there for a minute. Being new to IAP I thought that a SUV was a new kind of pen blank and it came off the lathe and hit you. I went out to check my pen blanks I have and there are no SUV's in my shop. I was ready to give up pen turning and go to sewing or cooking. Ha, Ha, just kidding, hope you get to feeling better, sounds like you have a lot of friends that can and will help you out. Penny, give him LOL and he will do fine.
