[tody]

@hajduk ouch. take care, and i hope the surgery goes well.

[motojobobo]

@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.

[yannis]

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.

[ROman]

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

[Denman John]

@hajduk i hope you’re feeling better soon!

@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...

[Jord]

Also hope @hajduk is on the mend, and gets better soon

[hajduk]

@yannis to the elbow.

[hajduk]

@jordanscollected I expected it.
Yes, paper. The kind of paper the operating room staff use. The kind that gets thrown away after a single use. It was just to rest my arm on the way back to Oslo. Three hours by car. I have a sling at home. Much better quality. I got it for free on a previous visit to the ER btw

@Jord damn he hits me with a good story and puns me up with the “rub it in”.

[jordanscollected]

@hajduk keep it. That’s a $600 sling in the U.S.
