Hey guys, long time no see.

I’m currently at the ER with a torn bicep muscle. I was putting adding all the anti-squeal plates and retainers the PO left out on the front brakes, some new TT sway bar links and rotating tires on our 100.

I went to pull off the last tire (wasn’t even lifting it) and my bicep popped. Can’t do anything but keep it straight or you’ll hear me scream.

would someone nearby be able to help put on the last two tires and get it off the jack/jackstands?

Or if you know a good mechanic that does house calls let me know?

Our other car is stick and my wife can’t drive it.

We’re near landmark

Thanks! You’re a lifesaver. No rush.

Ouch. Heal up well, Chris.

 

[NearJetties]

Whatever Patrick needs, he gets.

He buttoned the 100 up and even tucked the 62 in the garage…not sure when I’ll be able to drive stick again . It was cool seeing/hearing someone else drive it.

Seems to be a torn bicep tendon. MRI needed to confirm.

damn Chris that sucks heal fast!!

It is nice cause it shows how this group is really friends and family... At Fall Crawl this year a newcomer was telling me one night that they had such a good time and were amazed about how nice and helpful everyone was.
They were blown away with how people were helping out with spotting and trail repairs and all... it really made us as a group stand out to them and they were planning then to come back next time!

Things like this are what make this a great club.

Great job stepping up Patrick!

 

[NearJetties]

Update. Surgery went well yesterday. The tendon was pretty shredded so they had to do some reconstruction which took longer. Drugs good

6 weeks arm/elbow immobilized. 6 months for (hopefully) a full recovery
