Might not be on here alot for next few days...
on: June 18, 2007, 02:49:05 PM
I was at work last night and grabbed 10lbs worth (a case) of whole peeled tomatoes (damn things) and when I grabbed them I only used one hand, which was a stupid manuver. I felt something go pop or snap in my wrist and felt fire go up my arm, which cause me to drop the case and curse some words I would rather not repeat. Typing doesn't seem to be too bad, but I already have tendonitis that affects that, so this injury just makes it worse. I can't even close my hand without it hurting. So here and there is all I can give you guys, sorry... wish me luck on getting better.

David,you have all my empathy,and sympathy.I've got some recent experience with injury myself. Do what you can to get better,and try not to do anything that will aggravate it.

I'll try not to aggrivate it as much as possible, I'm only 31 and I am slowly realizing I am not as young as I use to be!  :oops: Always trying to come to that realization, something I could have done years ago, now should be done with two hands (lifting that case) but stupid me used one hand like I have many years at work, doesn't pay...

Take it easy on the arm for awhile. Hopefully it will heal up soon.  :(
In order to be certain of having the right tool for every job.........one must first acquire a lot of tools

David,  hope you recover soon.  You've got several good years ahead of you and you will need both arms in good working order to use some of those multitools.     :)

God that right buddy, I am using my non-domiate hand so much to compinsate....now that one is hurting! UGH this suck, I try to stick to one of the small ace wrist things cause if I use the big 'ol stablizer one I can't use anything, like I would have to make my tools come out on my left hip, and that would just be wrong. Hey on average I get cramps typing something like this in no time....
