What rustles your jimmies - Part II

[taiga1]

That is because it would go against his current agenda. I wonder if the secret service will have to stop carrying guns

I'm not necessarily an Obama-hater, but I'm doubting him more and more every day.

What a perfect thread for me tonight! Jimmies are major-league rustled . . . and just freakin' depressed, too. Went to jujitsu tonight and was drilling with a new guy to our school (but pretty experienced from another school). There was only about 10 minutes left in the class. He cranked on an armbar like he was fighting for the championship belt, and before I could even blink . . . "POP". Distal biceps rupture. Just got back from the ER--will have to have surgery and will be out of the martial arts and lifting for quite awhile.

Fuarking sucks! The thing I am most PO'd about is how long this is going to sideline me from lifting and other activities. Kind of had to see in the pic, because the bicep was thankfully a little relaxed when I took the shot. But it rolls up like a window shade when it contracts.

Pros: Makes my bicep look bigger than it really is
Cons: Basically EVERYTHING else! Surgery, recovery, pansy weights for awhile even when I do get back, lardazz for summer, etc. And probably some piece of the medical costs to pick up--although I thankfully have very good insurance from my job.

Damn. That really sucks, taf. Sorry.

Faurk I HATE guys like that. I swear every martial arts gym has at least one. One place I used to play BJJ at there was this one guy who would go for anywhere he knew there was some kind of previous injury or weakness. Great strategy if it's competition and all, but pretty big d!ck move in practice. Here's to a quick recovery.

[Ascendedlife]

No idea . . . tomorrow I have to start calling around to find an orthopedic surgeon (I want to find someone decent--we have a couple friends who are MDs and they said they'd give me some names). I don't have a clue what it will look like after it's fixed for recovery. I went to the ER tonight (knew it would be a waste of time) and the one Dr. there said it could be 6 to 8 months after it's all said and done before lifting anything even remotely heavy with that arm. A second Dr. came by and said it may not be THAT bad, but that "a few months for sure" should be expected.

I guess we'll find out. Just sucks on so many levels.

So your not going to feel him tapping next time your choking him right? haha

Yeah, my coaches are always discouraging that kind of behavior. Even if a guy is prideful and dosnt want to tap then its not worth injuring him and keeping him out of training while you lose another training partner.

[latebloomingmom]

Nope, not even sure if my gym has one actually. Will have to look and see, thanks for the tip!



Aw, that sucks big time Taf. I'm sorry, speedy healing to you!

bent over rows might also help

I was SO pissed . . . still am. I literally did not even have a chance to tap . . . we were only supposed to be rolling 50% max--were basically doing some cool-down and working in the guard to finish class. He got the armbar in and just went for it--by the time my brain registered it had already audibly popped. And the fuker had the balls to try and blame me. I called him on that hard. YOU are responsible for you training partner . . . period! It's not a freakin' MMA title bout. ARRRRGGGGHHH . . . I'm getting severely PO'd just thinking about it.

Anyway--I have an appointment with a surgeon tomorrow afternoon. We'll see how that goes. Thanks for all the kind words an encouragement, everyone.

Thanks, BW . . . that gives me some hope that I'm not totally hosed. That's the thing that is most upsetting. That's the first thing that raced into my mind when it popped. "Crap--I'm done for probably a pretty long time!" I'll plan for the worst . . . hope for the best.

A throat punch is highly acceptable at this point in the training relationship...

I like this idea.

I am in an infinite system recovery loop on my Acer Aspire one with no end in sight. Gonna go have a rum'n'coke...or five. This is not my week. Eighteen year old cat had to be put down. Got her when I was five years old. Also today... Single people know what I be talking about... Just this day. I'm going broke. Lost job number one this week to downsizing since I was the last guy hired. It is job number one because it was about seventy percent of my total income.I just started donating plasma again for a little extra money which I'm sure is gonna absolutely kill me in the gym. Told my mother something was gonna have to give. That I couldn't pay her bills and mine. She says I should
move in with them. How considerate. Called a few places I've applied at today. They say they aren't hiring. Not that the position was filled, just they aren't hiring. Why in the Sam hell you wasting my time then?? Been to two temp agencies, they say work will be scarce til March at best. To top it off I am
whining to an Internet forum, lol. Least I can still laugh at
myself, and my rum is delicious.

[Botika]

Hope the appt goes well taf... Keep us posted!

Fuarrrrck...my empathy chip is causing my jimmies to get rustled reading this. That's awful, man. I hope all goes well with the surgeon.

Hang in there man. Sometimes life just sucks but it doesn't suck forever. It will get better.

That's all I got....I have a way with words don't I?

A lot of people I know being stuck in these kinds of positions....it's not very comforting, but at least you aren't alone. Sending you lots of good vibes, hopefully something pans out for you soon!

My god dude... seriously? My jimmies are sad for you

Wish I could say something to make you feel better. Sometimes, rum and coke can help you to find the answer to your problems. Are you feeling any better today?

Oh, no! I feel for you. I hope you get back to everything sooner than expected.

My estranged husband does BJJ. He had a couple knee injuries and had to have surgery. He thought he'd be out only a couple weeks or so but it was worse than they thought when they got in there and he was told no jiu-jitsu for 6 months. It was like they cancelled Christmas. He was still able to lift fortunately. But I can imagine how ****ty having both taken away feels for you. Hang in there!!!

[Squatticus]

ups can go **** itself, was supposed to have something delivered today instead of getting it tomorrow i get it monday

My sister is palliative. She is only 52 and is at the end-of-life stage. I spend every moment that I can with her. She's such a joy in our lives, and she's so courageous and so giving of herself to everyone else.

I know about those days when you can't stop crying. Poor Mr Flexy has seen a lifetime of my tears.

[latebloomingmom]

ya I remember those times..reading cards outloud, talking, reminicing, telling stories, making sure they are comfortable and not in too much pain..watching their every move, every breathe...then waiting til they fall asleep to go off somewhere and bawl ...
