OUCH!!

[Lorraine Clinch]

You really kneeded that didn’t you Shane! (Sorry, couldn’t resist 😳 )

Just thought I’d beat John Singh to it :lol1: :lol1:

Joking apart, hope you get sorted soon.

[Marcella Ross]

Ouch!….you said it Shane! Sounds painful. You’ll just have to take it easy and try as far as you can to keep weight off it. Easier said than done I know, but looks like you may end up having no option. 🙁

[Paul Meadows]

Don’t get me going on knees Shane! cartilage removed from both knees,
Operation to straighten ligaments on one knee….now have arthritis in both knees with the possibility of having to have them replaced in the near future…you have my sympaknees !

[Hugh Potter]

Oh Paul, there was no knee(d) for a joke like that at a time like this :lol1:

[Paul Meadows]

Sorry Hugh, it was rather kneedless 😳

[Jayne Marsh]

Poor Shane, you didnt Kneed that kind of thing happening, (this joke is going to just run and run :lol1: )
In all seriousness now, sorry to hear about your knee, hop, I mean hope it gets better soon x

[Nicola McIntosh]

ooh….know the feeling shane 🙁 i have two dodgy knees as well 😕 hope it gets better soon 😉

[Paul Meadows]

Seriously Shane, have you thought about employing people to help you out, you’ll have less money and a great deal of strife but a least at times like these you’ll be able to keep your business running and get your ailments sorted
A few years ago I slammed into the side of a car on my Honda super Blackbird, hospitalised for three weeks and bedridden for 3 months, the business carried on because I had good people around me, in fact I couldn’t claim for loss of profits on my insurance because the company made more money when I wasn’t there!!! 😕 Anyway mate if there’s anything you want to know about knees..I’m yer man.

[Russ]

wishing you and your wallet a quick recovery 😀

Russ

[Peter Normington]

Sorry to hear about your injury mate, Know how you feel. Easy said I know, but try and take it easy for a while..

Peter

[Phill Fenton]

That’s bad news Shane. Hope you get better soon. 😀

Nothing worse than having do do physical work when you have an ailment like that 😥

[Vitor Brito]

Stoped, playing soccer and kickboxing coz i had a ligaments rupture on my right knee. All sorted now but cold days always make me remember those days.
I can just imagine what you’re going trough.

As Paul said,might be a good ideia to employ somebody for those jobs even if it’s till you get better coz that’s the kind of injury that if you hurt yourself again before being 100%, you’ll regret it till the end of your days.

Hope your recover is fast. Take care.

I think we all should wait another 3000 posts=jokes from Shane in half time then before. :lol1:

[Ramj]

I have a Torn Cartlidge, (don’t think it’s as bad as a ligament)
but there are moments when I can’t use mmy right leg, Quite disconcerting, I spent about 1/2 an hour on top of our walk on van because it happened.

Hope it gets better soon,

I’m sure it wont put your customers off, not with the quality you always seem to produce.

[Shane Drew]

Thanks everyone, appreciate that.

Yesterday I rang my contract fitters, and they helped me out with a few fiddly vinyl jobs that I needed to do up a 3.6m ladder. Checked them out last night, one is a bit crooked, I’lll see if the customer notices….

Passed on a $4000 job yesterday, got no thanks from the sign shop which is annoying.

Rang a good mate of mine who is on a disability pension (suffers manic depression) and asked if he was looking for some work to keep him busy, and he jumped at the opportunity, so I may have my ladder work sorted.

I’ll ring my regulars today and see if I can work something out with them.

The leg seems OK today, I’ll see how I go……

Cheers agian, thanks for the encouragement.

[Shane Drew]

It gets better 🙁 had Xrays today and they have discovered spurs on my knee too.

Anyone know what they are? and how you get rid of them?

Radiologist both unhelpful and uninterested..

[Lorraine Clinch]

Hi Shane, at a guess I would say the spurs are bony growths, like projections causing grating & pain? (may be completely wrong of course… 😕 )

Are you taking anti-inflammatory painkillers? Those & rest are probably the only treatment short-term.

[Shane Drew]

quote Lorraine Clinch:

nothing yet until I go back to the Doc. I am a brave soldier tho Lorrain, I only complain about the pain a couple of times a day (7am to 1pm and 1:15pm tp 9pm ….until the beer kicks in :-?)

they really should be on your boots Shane.

get well soon

chris

[Lorraine Clinch]

Ah, but analgesia is a secondary effect of anti-inflammatories, their main use is to reduce inflammation-that’s why they are better than, say, paracetemol, which do nothing to reduce swelling etc.

[Brian Little]

you gone a bit crook mate ….get better soon 😀 😀 😀

[Shane Drew]

Thanks friends,

One bonus I’ve discovered…. Getting LOTS of sympathetic cuddles from my kids, especially my 9 yo daughter 😛 Just for a little while I’m not the grouchy old guy, but I’m the grouchy old guy that needs some attention and affection…….

…. I can handle this for a little while yet! :lol1:

[Jayne Marsh]

Aaaaaw bless, they are lovely when there nine. At fifteen all you get is “Shut up, stop complaining old woman!” :lol1:

You unbuckle them from the back (a bit like a leather watch strap). All cowboys wear them though, so I wouldn’t be taking them off if I was you..Yeee Haaaw… :lol1: :lol1:

[Jill Marie Welsh]

Sorry to hear this, Shane.
I hope it all works out for the best.
What a bummer.
(or a knee-er)
Love…..Jill
