If I went to the doctor every time something happened to me I would have a permanent room and parking spot. It wasn't like I found a strange lump on my head. I know where the lump came from. It was a 7+ pound grease gun falling from 5-6 feet landing on my head that caused it.

My knee hurts but isn't swollen. It would have to hurt more then this or for X number of days before I would go to the doctor about it.

My right had that I hurt last week will be fine. There isn't much they would be able to do for it. I hurt it playing basketball years ago and it just took time to heal.

My left hand has a bit of the same pain thats in my right but my grip isn't as affected by it. My left wrist just aches every now and then.

If I made and appointment to see my doctor I would be feeling better before I was able to see him.

If I went to emergency they I would spend a night in there and I'm sure would just end up being sent home. Plus I would be taking up space for people that really need it.

James, ice is slippery...quit walking on the ice!

or screw some tire studs in the soles, then you'll be ready

Ok, I'm glad you're ok, i read through a few posts before I laughed

I laughed too thinking about my work boots that were not cheap and come with an anti slip sole.

And If I could stay out of the ice and still make money I would possibly go for it.

But the studs do sound useful.

They make rubber straps that strap on your boots for traction. I looked at them a few times in the last week. Said to myself that I don't really need those.

Apparently you do! You need a helmet as well since you're so accident prone.

I hope your injuries heal soon, James, and you aquire no more for quite a long time.

It's Halifax. There are times when Ice is all that you've got.

I feel your pain. I can't tell you how many times I busted my ass in ND. One of my buddies got arrested because of slipping on ice.
