Damn... broke my arm.

Here’s hoping for a speedy recovery John!

dont suppose the shop caught it on CCTV did they?

I clicked on this thinking "he's been trying to re-string those damn bigsbys again!!"

Get better soon!

Bad luck John.   Hope it mends quickly.  If you need a hand with anything (no pun intended), just give me a shout.

That's what you get for having the temerity to run at age 51 : >
Get well soon.

That's a real bummer. I was going to drop by the shop as well as I'm in Edinburgh right now on my way back to Belfast.

Take it easy.

Sounds painful, hope you heal quickly.

Sorry to hear that mate.... speedy recovery...:)

PS - did the gaffa tape/WD40 approach not work ?

guitarfishbay

On the subject of WD40 I used it to remove a stain on a work shirt recently.

It wasn’t shifting with a regular wash, and the rub washing up liquid into the stain ‘trick’ did nothing either.

So not having any proper stain remover I decided to spray WD40 on it and wash it again, and it worked!

Sorry to hear it and I hope sleeping isn't too painful for you- it was for me when I broke my arm.

Weeks 3-4 were the hardest- mostly due to boredom.

Major bummer, take care and rest up, hope it gets functional quicker than 4 weeks!

Glad you didn’t get the ticket, at least. All the best!

The annoying thing is that the loss of income over the next few weeks means it would have been far better to take the ticket instead. I won’t be able to do my mail-order packing job either, even if I could get myself there...

Sorry to hear about that. Hopefully it will mend quickly

Sorry to hear that GWS.

Although slightly disappointed there's no pictures of your arm hanging 90 degrees out of position, with an accompanying question as to whether you think you should see a doctor. As is standard forum etiquette.

Ow-ow-ow, sounds horrendous!  Here's hoping for e full and speedy recovery.

They took this in the shop so I could see it - I couldn't lift my arm to have a look myself. After that I did agree to them calling an ambulance .



I suppose it doesn't look *that* bad, but you can see that the two forearm bones have been pushed past the end of the upper arm one. One also has a fracture at the end and there's a small chip of bone in there somewhere... the X-ray was quite freaky .
