A weekend at the country house that started off well but ended in the local emergency room this sunday. I managed to tear my right biceps tendon. Sawed down a few trees for firewood for next winter. Lifted a log that was way too heavy and bang! All while dressed in style, of course!️
Surgery/repair scheduled for Friday. Fuck me!

Oh no @hajduk Seems you're not 25 anymore. Get well soon.

[hajduk]

@endo Definitely not! Sometimes you need to get hurt to truly understand! I think it will all be fine soon enough after the operation. A pretty typical Norwegian outcome!

Glad to hear the spirits are still high and wishing for a speedy recovery. This getting old stuff is not very fun…but at least we look and dress a little better now than when we were younger

[Giles]

Best of luck Pierre. Best dressed guy in A&E.

@hajduk that doesn’t sound like fun. Hope the surgeon can fix you and that you’ve got suitable pain relief in the meantime (official or otherwise).

[Twistlock]

Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery Pierre @hajduk

@hajduk Get well soon!
Hopefully some neighbors will chop the trees into firewood for the next winter.

[tody]

@hajduk hope that arm heals back soon to full strength and useability.

[jordanscollected]

@hajduk hoping for speedy recovery. I would also check how much they charge you for that sling. I’m 95% sure that’s just paper towels.

Did you tear the ine that attaches to the elbow or the one to the shoulder? Hoping for speedy recovery

$20 says the non American folks think you are joking....at least as far as our medical system goes

[goosehd]

@GraemeE Correct…the reality is that you don’t want to know the truth for many of us.

[GraemeE]

@goosehd i guess you have ha the pleasure of experiencing both American AND Canadian

[goosehd]

@GraemeE I have and one of the reasons why I live where I do now.

@hajduk Best of luck Pierre. I hope for a speedy recovery.

@jordanscollected I'm in Scotland. I had a rash on the back of my neck after getting a haircut, and I went to the pharmacist about a month later, they gave me a bunch of steroid creams and moisturisers/soaps, cost me nothing... I'm not saying that to rub it in, but it's just bonkers that you guys over the pond get charged for such things... When it comes to our health care system, you can pay extra to go private, or be stuck on a waiting list where you'll be assessed by priority, I hope the US changes something...
