Pushing a van out of the mud at todays rally

Were you wearing your underpants on the outside at the time? "It only works if you do it right you know"..

[Tafflaff (Rob)]

Thanks guys,

On the upside though, the arm did dot fall off overnight. The downside is that its hurting so much, I wish it had 

[Da Monkey]

Now if you had said he looked "hot" when you spoke to him, I would be really worried And that was probably before at a guess

Oh you...   LOL.   

Guess it must have been before, but his lad was doing the 'tecting, Taff didnt seem to keen and was proping the tree up...

It says a lot for Rob's dedication to DW that even after his excruciating injury he came with me to look at the fields for the Christmas rally and make arrangements for parking etc.

Get well soon Rob.

Ahhhh well, thats me out of detecting for 6-8 weeks.

Pushing a van out of the mud at todays rally and I heared a loud popping type thwack. My arm went limp and I knew I'd messed up big time.

Took my top off in the car and there was nothing where my bicep should be and an extra bicep near my armpit. Somehow I dont think my body got the anatomy memo.

jeezus Rob really sorry to hear that , especially just so near to Christmas. Hope you're not self employed 

Thats the trouble when we get older ..... we still have the memory of what we used to be physically capable of doing ....

Pity our equipment is not still in the same shape as our memory

Anyhow, after a rather exiting trip home which included peasouper fog, heavy rain and both my wipers giving up the ghost, I got my wife to take me to casualty as by now I was in agony.

6 hours later and its confirmed, total seperation by trauma of the bicep tendon where it meets the elbow. Scan, surgery and 6 - 8 weeks immobilisation of said arm.

Apart from that , it was a good day.

I was a Paramedic for 14 years before retiring with a bad back, delt with my fair share of pain and trauma your story just made me wince  get well soon  Rob

Sorry Rob, what can I say. I didn't realise you had injured yourself pushing my van out of the mud 
I hope you make a miracle recovery, and  thanks for your help 

All the best,
Jeff.

Hey Rob, when I saw it on Facebook I didn't realise how bad it was. Hope it gets sorted soon.
Best,
Bob
