kayak jack got his wish

[islandpiper]

At the Rendezvous, Kayak Jack casually mentioned that I should get a big hand for putting th show together. Well, about 4 PM that day he got his wish when my gout acted up and hit my right little finger. Here is how it looked by Monday. Needless to say, all you fellows who gave me a hearty handshake before leaving had my undivided attention.

Actually, I'm glad he didn't say I should have a slap on the back, I'd be in traction by now. Piper

Ouch! Sorry to hear about that, Piper. Not a good condition to have for a man that works with his hands. Hope it gets better soon.

jdupre', thanks, actually ilt could be a lot worse. I have some good meds and have been able to circumvent much of the pain. ILt has not kept me from working but I have trouble with piping and have to buckle down for a job in February. It will be ok.....I just posted this to lay a guilt trip on Jack since he's had a week off and the rest of us are working. '

If you think Jack has only been off for a week , BOY DO YOU NEED HELP , his bubble has never been centered. Or are you talking about w&%k , in that case you are really wrong. :lol:

i told you to eat some of those ribs left handed. later keith

 

[islandpiper]

Keith, I didn't see any left-handed ribs in the roaster. I think Jim got all of them.

I won't take another picture but the swelling is up again......damn.

It reminds me of Ed Sullivan who always wanted to give somebody "a REALLY BIG hand!!"

Been there Keith, Cherry juice!! Prolly to late for that. Lots of water, indocine. and more water. Hate to hear about it. Makes me cring....

 

[Wannabe]

Keith,
I done tole ya how to get rid of that stuff. Remember me telling you about my one legged constable friend who used to wear potbellied shirts While having the gout bad? Oatmeal my friend. Oatmeal, morning noon and night. Cept that crazy man ate it mixed with cold water. Ate it raw. Don't know if he sauteed any or fried any of it, But he ate plenty of it. No potbellied shirts or gout anymore. Fraid I'd just have to put up with the gout. Bet oatmeal would be pretty good soaked in some good roast gravy. :roll:
Hope you get to feeling better Keith.

As usual, you guys make me think, and listen, and learn and laugh. Thanks, I needed that.

Cherry juice? I thought it was lemonade. And I think it is Indocin or something like it that I'm taking, least tilll they run out.

I've always been a foot-gout guy till this time, and, no, I can't tell you which is better.

Six AM here, Guess I'll o make Oatmeal.

Thanks again. Piper

 

[Kayak Jack]

DAMN! Piper San, that looks bad. Being a clean living, virtuous soul, I never get such ailments.

But, if I did, I'd drink lots of water and soak that beat up hand in warm salt water. And, maybe sip some of that Scotch like we were into at Coop's Bar.

 

[islandpiper]

Forget what I said about mitigating the pain......

Off to the Doc ASAP. Can't hold a fork in that hand and I'm afraid I'll put an eye out with the left hand.

Take good care of yourself, Li'l Brother. You're an important fella around here. Omega wolves are necessary.
