      I'll take your word on the pictures of your foot. I would have been a great doctor, if it weren't for all the broken bones, blood and guts. Oh, can't forget the bad patients...

        My next job is to teach it to be a foot again.
        Looks completely painful!! I'm glad it's been repaired and that you're healing. Just remember to get someone ELSE to lift the heavy stuff, *including* machines, BC!
        By the way, you have fabulous taste in teams!!

              I trust that by now you have your family of cats trained to wait on you and fetch you things. Ha Ha just kidding, I've got cats too. They probably expect to be fed more, since you are just sitting there doing nothing. Just crackle a bag of anything that remotely sounds like kitty treats, and my counter is overflowing with a horde of multicolored hairy moochers.

                That's the truth. After 5 weeks they've finally given up on annoying me into getting breakfast early. They know just how to be really irritating. For example one of the end tables has a loose leg, and Roxanne will stand on that table to make it rattle, and rattle, and rattle, for 20 minutes at a time, just out of reach. I hit her with an apple last week. That was the end of that. =^..^=
                If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
                1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
                2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
                3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
                4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
                5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

                  I'm happy to hear you're doing better. The walking cast must be a blessing. I didn't look at the pictures of your foot though. Much like DWise, it's not ability that kept me from entering the medical field.

                    I'm glad to hear you're getting there, pretty impressive scars, unlike some others, I'm not squeamish about things like that so did look at the photos, maybe I should have gone into medicine, blood and guts don't bother me in the slightest

                      I should have taken pictures when it was pointing in an unnatural direction, and swollen up like an eggplant.

                      ... um, no. I'm trying not to remember it that way. =^..^=

                            I hope you have a good level of medical cover BC, as when you pay top dollar they fit quality titanium screws but if you only have a basic package they give you cheap third world rubbish that will rust or shear off under a slight load.
