Wow. I'm even older than Vance. '71 model here. To many aches and pain to count. The joy of working in EMS.

 No wonder!

Too much flash.

Will the molds be cleaned up for the re-pop?

 Well, some stray cartilidge in my knee has already been cleaned up, ACL is potentially getting work done depending on how things go this summer... No firm date on a re-release yet!

 

 

 

stray cartillage clean up on a softball player?

Why, the pros wouldn't settle for anything less than double knee replacement !

No re-release yet?

Gotta get a different set of decals with every re-pop..........won't have collector status without fresh decals ( slide transfers in AIRFIX speak ).

 

will the re-pop come with the original hairy elbows ??

 

yes

Well the bottom line is... a full-on ACL replacement would take a year to recover from, the knee would still never be 100%, and I'd still have to wear the brace to be sure of non-injury. Leaving it as-is, continuing with at-home physio, bike & ball while wearing the brace... may accomplish darn-near the same thing without having to run the risk of a surgery.

(That being said, the Dr. I'm lined up with is an ACL pro, highly regarded on this end of the country. I'm supposed to follow up with her after the ball season wraps up.)

Frig, I am a codger.  Anybody got some spare prune juice??

Does your doctor ever  suggest that you wash dishes before you play ball or ride your bike?

Your wife would be happier....

"How washing dishes before the ball game improves your fielding abilities"

Sports Illustrated will be knocking on my door shortly!

...and somebody in another thread said it's great for your hands, too.....

...and somebody in another thread said it's great for your hands, too.....

But too much dishwashing makes you less likely to hit the longball - it's a delicate balance.

Do you meed rank for that?

Some people are born rank, others have rank thrust upon them!

I've already had those two MOD's done, now working on the AM wrists. But thats down to to much use of the cutters. Well, thats my excuse.

The knee - as I told my Dr - is a "Superbowl injury" lol. A bunch of us were playing a little touch-football at halftime, I planted the foot to change direction... the foot stayed put & the rest of me changed direction. 

Mine was the same but basketball. I hit the floor like a sack of s**t. The cartilidge was dpone soon after, but the ACL didn't come for another 5 years. But both on the same knee.

Uh huh, sure!

Sometimes, a man has got to take matters into his own hand

I got a bum knee to... but not from the same style injury... when I was 20,, I dropped a piece of steel well pipe across the knee on the side.. killed all nerves in the knee and it aches after lots of use.. moving the knee feels like a bunch of marbles under my knee cap...

I have no idea what you mean

At an early company meeting one morning i complained about not getting enough sleep the night before . One of the people at the meeting replied smuggly at my comment  that he "always sleeps like a baby " . I asked him "so who changes your diapper in the morning ?"

Speaking of hearing, I can't take too much loud music
I mean I like to play it, but I sure don't like the racket...

Hope you don't need too many replacement  parts ......and your medical doesn't cap at anything  less than

  £ 6 million

Medical, as in Insurance i assume. That one thing i don't have to worry about with the good old NHS looking after us. But think i need to find an easy job when i get out, rest the bones a bit.
