I am no physician, but some broken femurs cannot be casted and need a rod implanted. Hoping this is not as bad as it sounds and he can make a quick recovery. Wow thanks for the update Elevator.

I am blessed though to be physically fine and I can only hope the same for Tom Ryan. Geez o man. So many questions here. Thanks for the reminder to stay out of LA. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pollution was terrible because it was between LAX and the oil refinery, but the town was pretty quiet compared to most of LA. Fantastic Cafe made the best, greasy-ass beef and cheese burritos ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic Cafe made the best, greasy-ass beef and cheese burritos ever. Pollution is still bad here for those reasons. I know Fantastic Cafe - but I didn't realize they had any options for me. I'll have been vegan for nine years on May 31st. In the old days though, that sounds like it has my name on it. I still love greasy food - I only avoid animal products for ethical reasons - not for health. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A vegan still flip'n birds, when are you gonna give that up, haven't you already been in pastry purgatory for 30 days? You should've at least learned a valuable lesson: never ever bet with a potato ... or a pastry! Edited May 14, 2024 by ionel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am no physician, but some broken femurs cannot be casted and need a rod implanted. Hoping this is not as bad as it sounds and he can make a quick recovery. I broke mine. The WORST part was I couldn't put it in a cast or anything. I had to have people life up my leg(especially the first week or so) as I lowered myself onto the couch. And...while this may sound funny, I assure you it was NOT, but try sitting on a toilet! I remember the only one I could get access to was one on the first floor of my house. There was a Washer on one side and a sink on the other and I had to be a damn Gymnast because I couldn't sit. I chipped a tooth just grinding my teeth, just...the most painful thing in my LIFE. No other injuries either, but you it's so hard to describe. You can't handle ANY pressure on that part of the leg and when you normally sit down, the seat is RIGHT on your femur. Even trying to get on the couch yourself...it's such an unsettling feeling. There's always a point where you go to sit down where the weight is on that part of your leg.
