sarah_444 Posted April 8, 2013 Author #103 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I learned that if I throw my body into my locked front door as hard as I can a few times it'll just open! I also learned to make sure my keys are really with me before I leave the house. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Only Posted April 8, 2013 #104 Share Posted April 8, 2013 (edited) Today I learned that thumb fractures gone unchecked for too long can become harder and harder to fix (go figure) and can lead to arthritis (go figure again). I think I may have fractured my thumb weeks ago. It hurts every day, badly when waking up if I played the drums the day before, and is affecting the use of my hand's tight gripping. I learned months ago that going to the emergency room for a broken finger which was actually only sprained cost me hundreds, and was no help. I wish it didn't influence my decision to not visit a doctor about this potentially damaged for life scenario.

Helen of Annoy Posted April 8, 2013 #105 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Today I learned that thumb fractures gone unchecked for too long can become harder and harder to fix (go figure) and can lead to arthritis (go figure again). I think I may have fractured my thumb weeks ago. It hurts every day, badly when waking up if I played the drums the day before, and is affecting the use of my hand's tight gripping. I learned months ago that going to the emergency room for a broken finger which was actually only sprained cost me hundreds, and was no help. I wish it didn't influence my decision to not visit a doctor about this potentially damaged for life scenario. On the brighter side, unattended finger fracture can also lead to formation of something that will look just like an extra joint, only you couldn’t control it like you control your real, natural joints. Cool, huh? Don’t worry, I’m just creeping you out, though it’s possible it won’t happen to you, it’s rare and you need very serious fracture to develop fake joint out of it. If you can play drums with your fracture, it’s not fake joint worth. And playing drums is also the reason why it still hurts. I broke my thumb in ventilator once and it hurt like hell for over a month. It hurt so bad I couldn't write or do anything involving that thumb. I simply didn't want to wear cast (again!) so I was careful for a while and it healed eventually. I have no arthritis... yet. (Mods, I'm not giving medical advices, I'm sharing thumb breaking experiences and creeping the guy out!) I learned today I like to creep people out, but only to certain, well defined level. I also learned sore thumb is not something only I experienced. Well, duh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonecrusher Posted April 19, 2013 #111 Share Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) Yep Oldham! He lectures at my daughters Uni (Manchester.) Did you know he use to be in a pop band! (he is pretty gorgeous too ) Oldham dosn't look that great.It's currently having a makeover.Though Mr Cox actually came from neighbouring Chadderton like David Platt and a few people only I know out of the guys in UM.Though D:Ream nearly became one hit wonders.Their first tune was absolutely infectious.So infectious they decided to do a follow-up.But then they faded into obscurity.So it's a good thing Mr Cox discovered higher education.Or else he would have been doing pub gigs at a fiver an hour like his former band mates.That includes the charismatic singer.
