I sorta thought you might be underestimating your injuries, given the accident... Don’t push too hard on the recovery pedal. Your body already knows what it needs to do. But get well soon. And don’t flash the D’fly too much.
Don’t worry. I’m not a flasher. :eek: :eek:

At least you get to relax and watch some more baseball! :D

Hope you have a speedy recovery!

I got home just a little while ago. My broken wing makes things difficult to deal with and I’m having to learn how to do it all myself instead of having a nurse to come help me every five minutes. Life goes on. At least now I am surrounded by my Spydercos.

Ow, sorry to hear of your accident Doc. Well at least you had all the knife you needed in hospital.

I had to get a friend to bring in my Opinel No. 7, the last time I wound up in a hospital bed. These days I'd have asked for my HAP40 or ZDP-189 Dragonfly instead. Hey, at least shaving with a pocketknife gives you something to focus on!

Get better soon, mate.

So many things are difficult one-handed. Bought an electric razor since shaving wrong handed didn’t work so well. Other wrong handed activities held their own perils...

Hi Doc,

Thank you. I am better. I can see now and eye doc said all will be fine. The broken shoulder and fingers are painful and I am all drugged up. I talked doc into lowering pain meds. I’d rather be uncomfortable a bit than non functional.

Good to hear that you are better!! :)

But I´d suggest, stay drugged up for just a bit longer... you could blame new knife-orders (you gotta get that Endela!!) on that, should your wife ask :D
Top three going by pocket-time (update March 24):
- EDC: Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10); Wayne Goddard PE (4V), Endela SE (VG10)
-Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), and also Wayne Goddard PE (4V)

I don’t much love pain meds, but getting behind pain management sucks.
