Fellow Spydernuts, Sal and the Spydecrew,



Firstly, I would like to wish all a Merry Christmas and Happy Hannukah.

Many thanks for the well-wishes. I am now back from the hospital and will be working on-line from home. You dudes really ROCK! And made my day! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Welcome back Samo.
It's been quiet without you <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Glad to hear your out of hospital for Christmas, and hope the leg doesn't hurt/itch too much.

Well, one of my Xmas wishes came true. Great to see you back Samo.

You had a lot of time to work on your Spydie flicking. Gotta work on your offside open tho. &gt;&lt;g&gt;

Samo,

Glad to hear you're back!
I know a real good plastic surgeon that could give you a Tricep-Bicep implant to &quot;balance&quot; you out! Or you could go Lipo-suction!
BTW... Why does Chinook have half naked pictures of you?
As someone who rides motorcycles, (off-road) I was wondering what exactly happened in your crash? Did someone turn left in front of you? How bad was the bike? Etc. If it brings back a bad memory don't elaborate on it, I was just curious! Thanks

Merry &quot;whatever you happen to celebrate&quot;. I hope you recover speedily and protect yourself from infection.

Samo,

Glad you're back!

I'm sure that it hurt like the dickens, but do you want to live forever?

One way or the other, you pay for your tools!

[sam the man..]

Dudes, you guys are really a grea LOT! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Had an implant on my left tib to stabilise the bone. Right now, I'm nursing the leg as I slowly learn to rehab my joints... Oh yeah, my Endura was loyally beside me at the hospital bed. What a great knife! <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Dear Hoosierdaddy,
Here are the details -- I was on my way home after an assignment. Got knocked down by a car who made a quick U-turn (my right of way), the impact threw me some 10 metres into the opposite direction of the traffic. Thank GOD there were no incoming vehicle. Tried to recover but couldn't move due to compound fracture of both my tib and fib. Underwent three surgeries to get the bones stabilised. I was discharged from the hospital on Christmas eve.. Ain't that sweet! Well, that's all I can recall so far.. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Samo,

Thanks for the details! I've had a few crashes myself, (off-road though) broke my back, chipped a bone in my elbow, broke my knee cap in half, (that one was on a Jet Ski) got a concussion in a head on with a dirt bike (I was on a Quad-4 wheeler) I never had a compound fracture, must be severe pain though!
You are very lucky no oncoming cars! It just wasn't your time! Glad you made it home in time for Christmas! Hospital food really Bites!
Merry Christmas, hope you heal quickly!!!

Wecome back Samo wasn't the same without you.

Hey Samo, at last!! Missing your posts... I hope your injury will not hinder you from fishing. Just take it easy and heal well! BTW, did you carry the Endura in connection to the accident?

Samo,
I'm glad to here that your back in action! There's nothing quite as annoying as being laid up for a while. I am relativily new to the Spydie forum, but I have heard good things about you in the past threads. Good to have you back!

Thanks dudes! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>
I'm getting on fine with the rehab process! Since I'll be outta action from the workplace for at least three months, there'll be plenty of time to catch up in this forum.
Hey DePaul ~ You read my mind dude! Had the Endura faithfully beside me during the hospital stay.. Dude, this is one awesome knife!
