<VV> Engine removing Injuries

[Taruffi57 at aol.com]

When we bought our current home, I had to put 2 cars and some  parts in a 
storage unit until I could build my new garage.  I slid my  140 engine down 
some 2 X 8's off my car trailer into the storage unit doorway  area.  Needed 
to move it about another 3 ft., so I sucked it up, grabbed it  with both 
hands, and gave it a big yank.  "POP" was heard (and felt), from  my left 
wrist.  If I moved that wrist certain ways, it was also  painful.  My Hand 
Specialist put it under an Xray machine so I could  see my bones, and said she saw 
nothing wring with it.  (never mind the  pain.......)  She then took a big 
hypo - and stuck it in the side of that  wrist joint and started counting   
10...9...8...7...6...5.......   while I grimaced.  Some kind of steroid 
stuff.  I got a little relief  out of that, but 3 yrs. later, it still wakes me 
up in the early morning hrs.  as I have to be careful what positions I put 
it in.  I guess it's with  me for the duration.
 
MORAL:  Even if you THINK you are Superman, you may want to re-think  that 
- before doing something stupid.
