Complex surgery -
Multiple clean outs, a device called a wound vac that suctions the wound. Biceps out doesn’t affect grip and even if some of those proximal forearm muscles are injured there are deeper ones that start farther down that give grip function.

Depending on wound size, and what’s actually exposed in the wound, skin graft versus a muscle flap followed by skin graft.

What was lost and what is irreparable would dictate the extent of what other surgeries would need for optimal function.

Saw a fair amount of these training in NOLA.

Thanks for the input.

Seems that the crate build really is the safest bet...just have to motivate to actually do that. I’m sure it won’t be cheap to send.

Alaska will be good times, everyone I know up there loves it. I get regular updates and pics from various hunts/fishing trips that I can wait to go out and do myself.

This has been evaluated relatively recently in New Orleans.

Very pleasant folks there and great quality stuff. They made my suit and shirt for wedding and I intend to go back for some more items soon. They have a lot of options to pick from and you get to pick every detail for the construction of the suit.

They take to time to get all your measurement and you do 1-2 fittings. They had it nearly perfect on first one.

Good morning,

Messing around in the closet and my favorite rod got stuck in something and the last 1-2inches of tip got broken off.

It's a 12 yr old custom rod from my father that is my main 'go-to' . G Loomis blank with purple and gold detailing. I feel sick to my stomach...

Where can I get this repaired? Anybody have ideas? Even if it will never be my main rod again because it'll be weak, I need it back together just because

Thanks in advance

Edit: I live in NOLA, regularly in Baton Rouge, sometimes around Houma. Forgot to include that!

I'm an ortho resident, still have a couple years of fun training left...

Fun times!

I will say that this surgery is probably one of the tougher non-trauma ones to watch as a lay person, the femur and tib just hangin out, the saws, drills...etc.

Yup, sorry. Was in the ER all night and was swamped. Been resting and reading all day

Hey guys,

I know they got some kayak fishermen on here so I figured this would be a good place to go.

I recently went on a amazing yak trip out to some rigs and caught a few really nice reds, so I'm hooked. We went out with a few buddies and did it kind ghetto, with cheap kayaks and minimal gear, but still had a blast.

I want to take my dad out on a similar trip maybe even further out, but would need to be much more organized. Leaving from grand isle or near. Could be a fully guided or just a mothership setup..

Who would be a good guide or service to call? And what good online resources do you guys have to research more?

Thanks in advance!

Hey y'all,

Some buddies who own their own kayaks are headed out this week from Grand Isle. Anyone have recommendations where I can rent a kayak for 1-2 days in Fourchon/Grand Isle area?

Thanks

Hey y'all,

I admittedly lurk a pretty good bit, but seeing your music tastes, thought I could get some help here.

Played an open mic recently and got an offer to play a solo gig at the same place. Probably a 2.5 hr or so set. I have a pretty good list of songs that will cover that time, but wanted to get some input on some songs that are a "must". In the style of upbeat, bluesy/country, southern rock, college rock, .... that type of stuff. Let me hear some suggestions!

Thanks in advance y'all!

Have a good one
