Random Rants

about the only positive there is at least neither of you were hurt!

I bought an IHSH-80 from a forum member. Received the shirt and noticed a tear inside the collar. Have been trying to get the situation resolved, but he has stopped responding to my messages. Beyond frustrated…

sucks.  villains thread?

[seanocono]

Definitely sucks. This fabric is thin, and these things happen. I caught my upper arm on a fence and put a small tear in my red 80, near the shoulder. Nothing a little thread couldn't fix, though.

I understand your frustration, and the seller should have alerted you beforehand and paid for the repair; but it's a quick fix, and remember this is work wear. Tears just add character. You will still love the shirt. Trust me.

So first weekend off in over two months, and I decide to go to the beach.

I moved to a different area for the rest of the year, so I've never even been to this beach before. In my first 60 seconds at the new beach, I step on a stingray. Blood, swelling, searing pain. I had to walk about 2 miles home to get to some hot water to soak my foot.

Never thought I would say this, but I should have just gone to work today. Haha.

Jesus dude, ur tuf as nails!! Was a stingray that tapped out out beloved Steve Irwin. That dude wrestled crocs. U must be a beast bro!!

[seanocono]

Thanks, man.

That was a real tragedy with Steve Irwin. He was in so many more dangerous situations, and always walked away unscathed. Stingray stings are painful, but fatalities are extremely rare and usually occur if you're stung in the chest (had no choice but to do some reading on the subject today).

"seano 'harder than Steve Irwin' cono" :). I had a mate get stung a few years ago, caused him weeks of pain. Seem to recall he walked it off (similar), but had issues with it 2-3 weeks later. He ended up visiting a GP and getting 'stuff' done.

The same thing happened to my buddy who stepped on one while surfing.  It was swollen, red, and angry for weeks, and then he had to go get it…drained...shudder...

I hope you're feeling okay, Sean!

[seanocono]

Thank you! I am feeling good. Foot/leg is swollen and red, but the pain is mostly gone.

I made a quick stop at the doctor's because I have some previous health issues that I wanted to make sure didn't come into play. They gave me some antibiotics, so hopefully I can avoid an infection. Draining sounds terrible.

Good luck old chap!

This explains a lot!

Shameless…

just got an idea of what my latest round of medical procedures will cost out of pocket. Even with insurance covering 85% it's gonna get steep. Looks like my budget will be thoroughly screwed for a bit

[Cutlasshound]

Sorry to hear that dude, hope everything is ok!

Thanks bros. I ranted on here somewhere about it, but long story short, multiple levels in my back are shot, fixing it isn't an option now, so I have to have a series of nerve blocks and potentially a spinal cord stim implant. Was just getting settled with the idea when the price of what it will cost kicked me in the balls.

Sorry man that's awful. Comment on healthcare in American withheld.
