DOC Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 After having some pretty extensive surgery on my elbow December 30th, I have not really been able to swing much. They cut off the head of the radial bone and re-positioned the ulnar nerve. Re-positioning the nerve was no big deal, but cutting off the joint end of the bone, argh. That means I only have 1 bone connected in my right arm from my elbow to my wrist. Takes a while to build your strength up. But I'm about 90%. Tried swinging the 19 inch coil for a while, but my arm is just not quite ready for that. I went out Thursday May 18, because they are predicting that to be one of the last cool days we are going to have in a while. The day was gorgeous. 65 degrees, sunny, lite breeze. Lizards everywhere. Got a corn flake ad three more dinks. Got 4 off of the sides of a ridge in a gully where I had gotten 8 or 9 nuggets before. Fun day. I will be posting videos on You-Tube, let you know when they are up. BCOT! Doc 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldies1955 Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Doc: WTG on those nugs! Last week was really good for detecting...unfortunately...the heat is coming in. You are swinging with a bungy? I do. Helps a lot. Tom H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOC Posted May 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Swinging with a bungy, swing arm, helium filled balloons, Nubian slaves fanning me with palm fronds... all the help I can get. Doc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been thinking about getting my Sacro Illiac joint fused. I can't lift anything over 15 pounds it puts that joint out of place. Going up and down ridges. really gets painful. Hope you feel better Uncle Ron. Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
