Hey all
As a lot of you know I have off of work due to a work related injury, I fell and tore a ligement and the maniscus in my left knee. Well I went to the bone doctor a week and a half ago and I will have to have surgery on the knee. As any one of you that have been out on Workman's Comp knows they only cover 2/3rds of your regular pay and since we all know that the bills do not stop coming in I have not had the money to keep buying as muck diecast as I have in the past.
Tom, July 2nd, I go to the doctor to get cleared for knee surgery. I am lucky they are going to go orthoscopic and that means instead of an addiitional six months down I will only be down another two to three months so hopefully in Sept or Early Oct I will go back to work.
Now I want to say I am sorry and to please bear with me if I seam grumpy or grouchy or surley. I really don't mean to be but I have to say this I AM FRIGGIN BORED OUT OF MY MIND AND GOING CRAZY sitting at home.
The company I work for will not let me come back to work on limited modified duty till after the surgery and that will not be for at two to three weeks after the surgery. My girlfriend/wife is getting ready to strangle me because I am getting hard to live with sitting around the house all day.
Besides collecting die cast cars I also am a Fire Buff and love to take pictures of fire equipment and fire scenes. The only issue is that it is very painfull to drive because I feel every bump in the road in my left knee. She keeps saying go out and chase fire trucks and fires but it hurts to drive and I am scared of getting in a accident or getting pulled over by the police. I refuse to take pain pills as I am a recovering drug addict and we all know that is a good and bad thing/
Anyway if anybody has been offened by my comments or actions of late I am really sorry. I am going nuts sitting at home and have gotten a little grouchy and surley. So if I have offended you I am sorry. Please realize that this is my normal and that as soon as I get back to work things will be better. And just so you all know there is only so much tv and interet a person can stand. I will let everybody know when I am going in for surgery. Liv N Low and Camero75 will both know what is going and will be called by my better half the day of the surgery to let know how things go.
