I fixed it for you, in relation to the first post.

It is his left arm though so you offering a right hand may be for naught. :p

Don't you mean a ARM Ghost, lol. Hope you get better, it is hard to wheel with one arm.

pics or it didn't happen... those are the rules...

Sorry to hear about your ladder dismount failure. Hopefully you will heal quick!

Thanks guys. It wasn't a dismount failure, the ladder sort of bucked me off. I went fishing with one arm this morning, it was borderline disaster.

Voluntary or not... it was a dismount:D

You are giving the old saying "a bad day fishing is better than a good day at work" a run for it's money..

Hopefully you can perfect your fishing technique.... and i hope it doesn't involve a row boat.. (or a ladder....)

About 99% of my job is some form of computer operation, and that involves typing. One handed typing is not that effective. Yeah, I am now the slow guy at work. Hey, my boss had me up on the ladder, so it is their loss. That is what I get for busting my ass to finish my work for the week a day early so I could help out the slow guys finish their cabling and then I get hurt working on their crap. Now I will hardly be able to do my own job at work.

at least your boss knows it wasn't cause you were screwing off?
Jacob

Yeah, she knows it is not from screwing off. I do not mess around at work. There were several people there when it happened.

I have been kicking PC ass with two fingers for years!:D


Hope it heals fast... where did you break it? Upper/lower.... a sling and swath sucks for an extended period of time... a cast on the lower part sucks but you can get used to it after a while.
Jacob

It is the lower part of my arm right by my wrist. Hopefully the cast will just be up to my forearm.

Ugh... yeah. Broke my right wrist 1.5 years ago and am now permanently stuck driving auto's. No fun.

On the bright side, you now have a reason to put a suicide knob on your steering wheel. Makes 1 handed turning so much easier.
