Default Small things can hurt the worst!

If I seems I out of it,(more than usual)memory not too good lately,it's because I am kinda out of it.. Finally got brave enough to have a broken/arthritic toe fixed after 15 years. An old Husky 430 got the toe and ankle years ago when it kicked me back.All my fault since I didn't put on my cycle boot,just work shoes.. Didn't have that much problems when I had two stents installed 7 years ago compared to this.Been a few days now and changing the dressing. Does look a little better now even with the swelling and pin that holds it straight, sticking out. Has another internal pin where they cut a joint out and pinned it back. Time for another Tramadol !! Sent my son a pic just before supper time also..

Hope you get to feeling better soon, OPT. That pin looks painful. Stylish, but painful.

Funny part of it(if there is any) I can turn the green pin from one side of the toe to the other side and doesn't hurt..

Not sure how well I'd do with that pin sticking out. I kick enough coffee tables without adding to the end of my toe.

This little piggy went "Ow, ow, ow!" I hope it heals well and you're back to 100% soon. I broke a toe before so I can imagine somewhat how that feels.

Hey OPT. I heard you were the man to talk about the 400 2 stoke. I just picked up a 95 xplorer with low compression. I have a 84mm wiseco coming. I was wondering how much can I shave the head and still run pump gas. I'd like to get close to 150 psi cranking compression.
I looked for a way to pm you but couldn't find it.
