arthur,
: Sounds like the "hit-man" took a real hit !!
yep, a big farm boy from north dakota. geesh, i'll be seeing his stupid "fighting souix" jersey in my nightmares. over the years you become either complacent, or overconfident in one's abilities. i've played long enough to know my limitations and, regretfully i crossed them. you see i play a no check league, and after a while you shed the useless equipment, hip pads, shoulder pads, elbow pads. its just less stuff to lug around, and stink up your basement after play. my shoulder would be fine right now if i had that stuff in place. oh well.
ironically, the guy that ran me is a friend and we both were just screwing around. that is, untill i didn't get up.
i've got to go see the ortho dr. in two weeks, i'll ask him about an mri then. just typeing this out is sending my shoulder into spazams. each with its own audiable clicking/cruch sounds.
: his description of your collar bone "floating" seems extreme and
i'll stand by doc's description 'FLOATING' is what he said.
: short of some catastrophic injury such as a car wreck.
well, it was a car wreck, tom ( the fore mentioned farm boy) a resepectable 6'3" 240.
By the way I have wondered if you
: handle is a conscious tribute to Brett Hart the author, or are you just
: using your own name. I like him, and still remember his great stroy
: "Luck of roaring camp". Maybe you will have time during your
: recovery to read some of his stories (again:-).
well, you're right about the hitman thing. far from a tribute, just people remember you if they can associate it w/ someone famous. i don't know if you ever have seen the movie maverick. staring mel gibson as brett maverick. but though out the entire movie he gets call "brad", "brent" etc. etc. well same thing w/ me. so i automatically associate it w/ another more famous brett's of history. ie brett favre, brett mavrick and last but not least brett the hitman hart.
next week we'll work on the pronunciation of my last name;)
btw, thank you for your concern and extensive posts.
brett the hitman hart
