Sounds like you have a good mindset and a great medical team to help you.

Good luck on healing and hope all goes well for you.

Since I'm a guy, I won't flash you but will post these for your enjoyment

Heal up quickly.

Will have to disagree. Here in the US all your medical bills would have been paid also. We have workmans comp that would cover your medical and financial, being that it happened at work.

You fucking Canadian prick.

I have all kinds of bike parts that need re-plating, but did you even think to call me before you stuck your big ass foot in the zinc tank?

No, you did not, you selfish bastard.

Some friend you are.

But just to show that I forgive you, here's some big-ass nun boobage:



Get well soon my son, (seriously, we could get three normal sized people in that bed).

that nun has some seriously nice titties!

I dont think fumed zink is what y9ou want to plate your parts in When we speperate it, its no exactly pure, full of dross and arsenic. If not for that, I really could probably dip them for you and noone would give a shit because its worthless and useless.

I want to dip my old exhaust in silver, but it'd probably melt, and i'd get shot when they saw me on one of the 80 cameras...

Luckily im a calm person and removed the boot, socks, and tore off the pantleg immediately, or it would have been much, much worse.

I've been in here since monday, had one surgery yesterday to remove the dead skin on the 3rd degree burns, and another tomorrow to graph new skin on them. I cant say im very excited. im here for at least another week, and my motorcycle and golf season are done until at least the end of july. And im off work on compensation until the end of september at the earliest.

I havent spent more than a few hours in a hospital since i was 6 (tonsilectomy SP?), besides 17 days in a detox center, which was much, much different. They had a gym and I could walk.

I may go crazy before this is over, but at least ive got a great team of nurses and doctors looking after me, and they are doing a fantastic job.

Im super happy i live in canada though, as when this is done ill be ridden home in an ambulance and attended by an extra-mural nurse to clean the wounds, and change my dressings, daily and the final cost to me will be 0$, so thats a bonus.

Anyway, just wanted to let you all know what was up, and say hello.

Im on dial up here too, so that isnt helping my sanity any!

Ladies, now would be a good time to pity me and show me your
I am sorry you were burned and I hope you have fast recovery.
But just a fact here in the states that would that would be covered under the wores compensation act and costs their would be no cost to the individual.

Same here in this country. Thing is, you manage to hurt yourself like this in any situation, work or not, and everything in hospital is covered.

And you don't have to go bankrupt. And there's no waiting for treatment
