Hang tough brother ... hang tough.

OH, and while I'm on the subject of your lawyer.

You don't get infections or use antibiotics from " rejection ".
If your MD told you that ... he's full of sh*t.

Infection requiring IV antibiotics come from one of two places.
The insertion of bacteria with the initial trauma OR the surgeons nasty f**k hands.

Get your legal council involved in this as well.

Damn it man, this is dangerous ground you tread.

You will continue to be in my prayers.

@ Slacker and Dog: Sorry. That was "in the heat of the moment." I know, or at least think, you both, in your hearts, were trying to help at least at first, but I do think even you both should be able to see it kind of took a turn away from what it all ought to be about here in this thread. No hard feelings, I hope.

Sorry Crip. Try to be as well as you can manage.

Airweavers, No Offense taken... Everything I had to say to Kerry (Criop) in terms of encouragement for his health and better well-being... Well, I already said all that in the beginning of this thread. (Go back to the first couple of pages)

These threads tend to Digress and deviate...That really is what makes this site so awsome...It's why Kerry is still alive...

As for the CHristian arguments... I find nothing un-Christian whatsoever in my dialog with Slacker (Or his dialog with me) . Slacker knows as does anybody else, I won't pull any punches when it comes to speaking my mind... (But then again, aren't we all kind of like that?) The key here is civility... Exchanges can be cutting but they don't have to be decimating. I doubt Slacker could ever get verbally decimated... I personally have had to work on my verbal temperaments... But that will never abrogate my right to speak my mind...

Hang tough brother ... hang tough.

I hear ya, Sans, I've been taking a real strong antibiotic, 4 times a day and the redness seems all but gone.. WHEW! Looks like no hospital stay after all. Gonna have a sit down with the surgeon who put me together because I've got a shitload of questions that need answering... The most important is why am I still suffering such intense pain when he himself told me the pain would subside last week...That's really got me worried as I just can't fukkin' figure out how to sleep without lying in pain...there's no comfortable position whatsoever DAMMIT! I WANT MY SLEEP!lol I just keep praying I can re-gain some decent use of this arm but I guess only time will tell. I'm so damned impatient!

PD, I didn't mean that it was unchristian in and of itself. Just that the time and place didn't seem appropriate to me. The "unchristian" part was more about straying so far from the topic (Terry's demise), that it distracted from him and support for him in one of the toughest times I'm sure he's ever experienced.

To me, the unchristian thing was forgetting for a moment what the point of this thread is. A call for support. Dark personal times can bring on a lot of anger, doubt and negative thoughts and feelings. Having a couple of your friends start sniping at each other in the midst of all that isn't very conducive to pulling oneself out of that dark place. The discussion was fine, it just seems it could have happened in a better time and place.

I'm not hypocritical enough to suggest I've never done similar things. I have, and, I'm sure, so have all of us. Sometimes the only way my eyes are opened to it is when somebody else brings it to my attention. I don't always see it.

I do think we all mean well.

Nobody is perfect, which is pretty much core to both of your beliefs, and my own, no matter what else we might disagree on.

We all want the best for Crip. That I'm sure of.

Peace man.

Airweavers...LOL Man, I hear ya And I understand where your heart is at..Just a copuple of things:

1) ... Its Kerry (Not Terry) AKA Crip...
2) and Kerry aint dead yet! (Think Monty Python)

Crip, You have successfully managed to make us laugh, even with one arm dangling behind y our back

Yeah and the other hand is so far gone the only thing he could be using to type with is his nose.
Oh no, I just thought of it,,, there is one other part he could be posting with,,,

His mouth with a chopstick.






You dirty minded people.

If the infection is indeed receding your pain should decrease as well.

Continued prayers for you my friend.

I chose to have an artisan Pizza from Domino’s tonight, God didn’t MAKE me do it, I chose to, period.

Damn Right! and If I choke on my Pizza, that aint god, that's an evil pizza... (WHich is why the Godly thing to do is to order Beer to wash it down down the sacred temple, Our bodies.. )

Slacker, I dont think I could have explained it better than DougieFresh... and Honestly, I meant it when I said it before, I hope you find the real Christ...
and join the real freedom, which God has blessed us with.

If the infection is indeed receding your pain should decrease as well.

Continued prayers for you my friend.

That's what's scaring the sh¡t out of me... the pain is still un-fuckin'-believable!
Infection or not, I haven't had one ounce of peace as far as pain is concerned since Sept.14th. I'm not a freakin' wimp and have broken bones in the past,,,,as a matter of fact, my left fingers are broken but the whole arm on the right from shoulder to hand is killing me!

No argument on my behalf, I simply quoted scripture. But in order to further clarify my intention and understanding:

“ In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps”
(CEV) We make our own plans, but the LORD decides where we will go. {Prov 16:9}

I know, LORD, that we humans are not in control of our own lives.
(BBE) O Lord, I am conscious that a man's way is not in himself: man has no power of guiding his steps. Jer 10:23

1Ti 5:1 Don't correct an older man. Encourage him, as you would your own father. Treat younger men as you would your own brother, 

“You will be driven away from people and will live with wild animals; you will eat grass like cattle. Seven times will pass by for you until you acknowledge that the most high is sovereign over all the kingdoms of men and gives them to anyone He wishes.” {Dan 4:32} ( Simply an example of more intervention in the life of a man.)

My post was simply to encourage Crip to consult the Lord since it is the Lord who is at all times in control. God is the one who has the answer, not those on a forum, even though they may have some wisdom concerning the matter.

However, any correction should not be done as belittling another to raise ones self up. There are ways to speak of differences in scripture as members of the body of Christ. And I Did not find the first "supposed correction" to be posted with humility and gentleness of spirit.

I get angry with no one, I understand that anything directed to a Christian is directed to Christ, both in attitude and in substance. Therefore, little ever bothers me.

Col 3:12 (BBE) As saints of God, then, holy and dearly loved, let your behavior be marked by pity and mercy, kind feeling, a low opinion of yourselves, gentle ways, and a power of undergoing all things;

So Crip, I certainly hope that you find your way in this matter. I have found devastating things happen in my life, and far later in life, when I reflect back on the circumstances I did find that they worked for my own good, no matter how disturbing they were to me at the time. I hope you can find some encouragement in this.

I appreciate ALL of your well wishes and personal beliefs on why this may have happened. I HIT A TRUCK HEAD ON WITH MY MOTORCYCLE and look..I'm typing, talking, walking experiencing pain, sorrow, self pity at times, anger, sadnes, etc... I'm ALIVE AFTER SMASHING INTO A TRUCK! Does anybody besides me find that some sort of miracle!

Picked guitar up for the 1st time today and seeing as the way the arm was "humty-dumtird" back together, it doesn't look too promising that I'm ever gonna shred like I used to... Hell, I can't even put a spoon to my mouth if you all really need to know. Dr. was honest with me and informed me that the dexterity I used to have may be no where near what it used to be and I don't forsee me being able to get my ass back to work as this paricular metal infusion does not allow for a heavy amount of lifting, which is 60% of my job!

All the reason to be concentrating on your court case and healing.
You are talking about the rest of your life. Like I said you get one shot.
Your arm hurts now, you cant sleep now, you cant play now, its affecting
everyone around you now. In years to come it will hurt more dealing
with the ramifications of what that guy did TO YOU in a split second.

I saw the x-ray, that is going to hurt for a long time to some degree.
You have lost 2 sources of income, maybe 3 with your wife. You have
a stack of long term damages. I feel for you buddy. I know where you are.

Get-ur Done & Do It Right ![/b]

Crip, Yes it IS a miracle that you are still here God is NOT DONE with you here on this earth! He is GIVING YOU ANOTHER CHANCE!

Your Dr. said you MAY never have the dexterity you once had. He used a KEY WORD there "MAY"!

Hang in there Brother no one really knows how well you are going to heal not even your Dr. Stay positive if at all possible!
I like to believe the words of the "Desiderata" there is a line in there that says "Nuture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune but do not distress yourself with imaginings many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline be gentle with yourself . You are a child of the universe no less than the tree's and the star's; you have a right to be here. And whether it is clear to you or not no doubt the Universe is unfolding as it should".
