RE: [diesel_mercedes] Slight Progress

 

Yes, a lefty .

I'm learning to use my right for fork and so on , I always use whichever gives better access on the torque wrench .

I'm itching to begin on the used 1600 engine  I bought for the '59 VW Beetle.....

Me too although I'm sure it looks funny/pathetic, me hobbling along.....

My left fingers are all hooked like a claw, the O.T. Therapist made me a pressure thing I wear, it presses the fingers flat kinda-sorta . extremely painful but it seems to be helping .

When it's off I have to use my right hand to force the left's fingers into a fist - more pain I'd rather not have but I try to imagine holding my Torque Wrench or a Motocycle clutch lever and that helps me keep going .

Monday one Surgeon told me I'm on the schedule for my next surgery, I can hardly wait to get this metal out of my hand/arm .

 

Tuesday I was allowed to remove the leg brace and begin walking with my walker so I drove to the filling station to tank up and discovered 1/2 pint low on ATF (fairly easy) and both micronic fuel filters dirty, that wasn't fun to change but I managed .

 

Then off to the car wash as it was filthy . looks a bit better now, I'd polished and waxed it a couple days before crashing my Moyo on 6.26, dammit .

This walker thing is really slow and I hate it although I *do* like walking .
