RMCIII 838 #1 Posted December 19, 2015 Well, today started well. Got up early. Was on my way out the door a little after 8am heading to the gym for an early morning workout. Then it was supposed to be a quick trip to the barber before coming home and having my Bowl picks in. Well that all changed at the gym after getting "hammered" by a "Hammer Strength" Machine. 1 trip to the ER, 1 throbbing head, and 4 staples later. But hey, I did finish my workout before I headed to the ER! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elcamino/wheelhorse 9,326 #3 Posted December 20, 2015 I knew exercise was harmful and have avoided for 68 years. Your head will never look as bad as mine. I wear a bag over my head when brushing my teeth, very tried of replacing mirrors. I hope you get to feeling better. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

roadapples 6,983 #6 Posted December 20, 2015 Hammered would have been bad enough, but I don`t like the thought of those staples at all. Heal fast. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was kind of surprised myself when they told me that stiches were no longer used for head injuries. I asked what is? Why staples of course. RC! Craig - what happened to the photo attachment?
