Been around for years under a different name, Mr Pickles.

I've been off the boards and out of the gym for 6 years due to my bipolar and general anxiety disorders.

If anyone needs to talk, ask questions, or just chat, PM me.

I'm retired so I have plenty of time to be on the computer with you.

Mods, I hope this post is OK.

On a good note, next week I have my final surgery to repair my arm after my suicide attempt. So much metal in my arm it's like Wolverine's arm. They will cut out that ugly skin graft and leave me with a nice straight Frankenstein scar like near my wrist.

Stay healthy, my friends.

Pickles

Not sure what you tried to do to cause such trauma to your arm, but I pray for your heath and safety during and after your upcoming surgery.

Thanks friend.

It's a light surgery. Just cutting out that ugly graft and closing the wound. I'll try to post when I get home if I can so you guys don't worry.

Good luck to you on your continued recovery. It's good that you are moving beyond that attempt and I hope you're keeping up with therapy and any meds you're on.

Thanks Stealth!

I don't like one-on-one therapy with a therapist. I don't really get much out of it. I do, however, like my group therapy. I do both regularly.

And I never miss a dose of my meds. Doc has me on a pretty good cocktail right now. I can't really complain too much.

I haven't felt this good in years. Diet and exercise play a big role in that, along with the meds. =) Diet and getting back in training has improved me as much as meds alone.

Thanks for your concern guys.

Skin doesn't feel too tight.

I estimate I'll miss 10-14 days of lifting.

I'll get cardio in there to substitute.

Pain isn't too bad.
 
Healing nicely.

Surgeon did amazing work. Skin is lined up flawlessly.

Getting scar reduction pads in a few weeks.

Brother that looks awesome!!!

Did they have to do any tissue expanders or anything?

I had a lot, I mean a lot of scar tissue on my leg when I was shot and had to have tissue expanders put it to stretch the skin before they cut out the scar tissue. Either way man, your arm looks great
 
No. They used the skin graft to take up the extra space. They couldn't close my arm from all the swelling. I got "compartment syndrome" which is basically extreme swelling. So much swelling it cut off circulation to my hand, which they almost had to amputate.

They put a vacuum on my arm for a month to suck fluid out. When that was done, my arm was still too swollen to close the wound up with just my skin. So they grabbed some skin from my thigh.

That was the skin they just removed.

Looking forward to tattooing over it. I might incorporate the scar into the tattoo. Not sure yet.

I'm very happy with the results. My surgeon is amazing. Very nice too.

Thank you.

Awesome man!

The wound vac is one of the greatest medical inventions in my opinion. I had to use it one my leg.
