so i had my, hopefully, last surgery last week, just before thanksgiving and here are some pics of the aftermath











5 days post opp









sunday when the stitches tore through the skin in 2 spots.

had them removed today, waiting on the open stuff to heal to see if i may need more surgery to fix the spots that tore open....yea!

i don't know if you can tell in the pics, but my thumb is swollen to the size of my big toe! if is freaky huge!

so i am celebrating not dying with schnitzle, brat, and franziskaner dunkle on tap. ahhhhhhhhh

[franco90]

wow Dude sory to hear that i am glad you r doing better

[myinfernalbmw]

Good to hear you are in good spirits, er for the most part. Hows that shit healing up? Last i saw your arm was mending up pretty decent.

[der affe]

my friend who was burned way worse suggested it. if it helped someone else who is going through it then it is a good thing.

also it was just one more place to save and document the damage incase i need it later.

i am a little bitter with my former employer and the failiers of osha and the other "safety" agencies for not doing their job today.

wow dude, I had no idea this happened to you..

I had a 1st/2nd/3rd degree coolant/steam burns similar to Good&tight's but on the opposite arm and waaay worse. I was working under the hood of my zinno 325i and it was beyond oveheating to where the hoses melted on the tstat and my dumb ass was just under the hood looking around until the cap blew 20ft in the air. Worst feeling in the world, I was crying like a little bitch in the ER.. The lady had the nerve to try and make me fill out paper work and ask me describe the pain from 1-10...

I know how it feels to be burning for days. the the skin and scar removal is a bitch. I would never take pictures or post them tho, I have the stomach of a 12yr old beverly hills private schooled girl...

yep, the scars lay flat, and other than a little tightness across my lower thumb joint and some across my wrist where the did the regraft, it is back for the most part. they told me that with time and a lot of lotion those spots will soften too. the tightness is not really restricting my range of motion though. i can't wait to get back to the fucking gym to rebuild my stregnth!

[Farbin Kaiber]

So all the Dr. Zorro work gave you your mobility and range of motion back? Are you at full capicity or is there still some that will return as scar tissues soften?

[der affe]

what it looks like now. this is as good as it will get, as in there is no more surgeries to make it any better unless something messes up down the road.








it will get lighter in colour though in time

[Axxe]

Holy shit dude! You will never be called softer mans by anyone! Way to keep up a good attitude, all the best!

[der affe]

thanks

[TexasTerp]

wow, good luck with the continuing recovery!
