    Ouch. Broken funny bone. Make sure they use some good screws...none of that crappy stuff they sell at home depot. Stay away from the pain pills as much as you can and treat rehab seriously when the time comes.

    Yeah, that figures. You no sooner retire than you start falling apart. Heal fast, brother. Keep in good spirits (non-alcohol type) and stay away from the Ellen show!

    Been there done that. Fell off the top of a triaxle dump 19 years ago and got hardware in my elbow also. Lost about 30 degrees of motion. Real cold makes it ache and occasionally a radical weather change coming will make you want to have it amputated. Other than that no big deal. Get well soon. Mind the Dr orders. I over did it too soon and ended up breaking my arm just above the elbow a week after I got my half cast off !!!:picard::picard::picard:

    Rottiman, glad to hear surgery went well, keep up on the pain meds, and take the Dr.s word on recovery time, don't rush it.

    :coffee: Here's hoping for a full recovery.... oh and don't forget to ask the doc where he put the grease zerks for that bionic elbow ya got now.:D
