i call these my mcneelys.
i blew them out in a high-angle
logging accident.
shoved the spur thru my flared
boot-cut cuff.
i don't have the video
where im strung out
and apologizing to my mom
for destroying the pants,
but it is relevant.
here's the initial wound,
mostly open still,
though the mend has begun.
a pant surgeon,
i got this graft from the
mustang ranch, me and this
girl got flamboyant in our
undress and some of her
material came home with me.
the finnish product,
in honor of the great
el cap pirate.
hows my asse look in these
gems, ladies?
by the wayside,
mr. pirate, sir.
this light-hearted theatre
celebrating your horrific
injury is a playful
attempt at sending you
healing vibrations

If I were to have another kid, it would be named Ammon, boy or girl.
He ain't a whiner, that's for sure.

I was in complete robot survival mode on the ledge and didn't let any negative thoughts enter by mind. All of the experience of many, many days/hours on super scary aid leads kicked in full force. I knew what I had to do and systematically went to work. After I applied the tourniquet and elevated my leg, I started working on getting my rig off, because I knew they would just cut it off when the rescue paramedics got to me. When I ran out of things to do, I started filming.
If I am ever in any sort of dire situation, I hope I can recall these instructions and apply them to my case. Very inspirational.

I guess you'll be setting off the metal detector at airport security for sure.

Pretty remarkable healing process. Pretty remarkable story. Remarkably un-pretty pictures. But the dancing staples in the X Ray are purty kool.

It's just great to see how well things are going in your recovery. Thanks for the updates from time to time.
Another month eh? Time perhaps for some books you put off reading?
Heal up strong!

Yar! Gnar! Amazing recovery. That x-ray gives me the willies. You motoring about with a wheelchair and crutches and such? A month on the couch still? Not easy for an El Cap Pirate. Time to get caught up on old episodes of Bay Watch and The A-Team.
Keep yer sails full and yer flaggons of grog topped off!

The watercolor is gorgeous - love the blues, and have always felt an affinity with White Birches.
The x-ray found art is pretty awesome too!

Ha ha, thanks Happie! Just started that one, lots of paint left to lay down.
Largo, the joints are doing very well, they weren't damaged and just need a lot of love.
I just started swimming... perfect PT, both physically and mentally. Might even jump in the wind tunnel over there at iFly, ha ha. That will lift any spirits. Yaarr!!

Man, you should thank your lucky stars the joint wasn't damaged. It's basically game over if it is. I'm thinking of going for the prosthetic.
Happy holidays.
