Guess Who? & GET WELL SOON

[Bob Strano]

Twenty-two 8 hour surgeries later, 14 lbs of titanium alloy installed! 8 high compression 12 ton cylinders installed, over molded skin that feels real to the touch!!!!
This is the next upgrade in evolution to the Armwrestling world…. Say your prayer’s because you will not have one if you draw this puller!

All I can say it OUCH
Get Well Soon Brother!

[Pete & Tim]

Who is it?

[Bob Paradis]

That scar does not belong to that arm. That person shaved his arm so that picture of a scar could be cut and pasted over the picture of the hairless arm. That hardware is probably a work in process prosthesis that could be attached to a stub, but not inside your arm.

Mr Brown??

[Chris Hood]

Mr. Paradis I dont know if its fake or not but i can tell that before any surgery they do shave the part of your body where they will make the incision.. I would know I work in the surgery feild...

[jonathanvazquez]

If it is real it should be ILLEGAL! its armwrestling, not BIONIC armwrestling!

Well done Mr. Klemba you are the winner of 50 thousand dollar question.

Just at note to the less wise or otherwise misdirected The incsion is 100% real and there is another one on the other side of equal intensity.

The implementation of the robotic arm is; for lack of better terms.... [glow=red,2,300]FAKE[/glow]

Wish him a speedy recovery.... just the thought of possibly not being able to armwrestle again is like retiring from something you love.

[glow=red,2,300]But[/glow] with the new robotic implant he "will be back"

My female friends tell me scars are sexy.

I met Mr. Klemba ;D just kidding

I had a torn labrum repaired in my shoulder. They removed all the years of bones spurs and scar tissue in my elbow an bicep. So my arm should go straighter and close more. Also my MCL, (this is the ligament that holds your elbow together and causes all AW’s pain down by the funny bone) had been torn a dozen times and had turned 80% into bone (ossification). So they took a tendon out of my left forearm and put it in my right elbow.

[Chris Gangi]

WOW.....that's alot work.

Heal quick and be safe.

[Josh Shotgun Stark]

WOW Bob, that looked extremely painful!! I wish you all the best for a speedy recovery. Heal well my friend!!

[James Battles]

I didnt get the cut on the forearm part and I will eventually have the shoulder done provided I can get time and money. I figure with Blue Cross Blue Shield goiing up on premiums another 140 dollars every two months it should be something to do. In premiums alone I have easily paid for the whole thing by now. I dont know where health care is going with insurance these days but maybe I can afford it for a while. At 550 bucks every 60 days it is a waste if I dont fix things.
Here is my pics from late march 2003. I competed in the 2003 Nationals in June. It had been 10 weeks. The shoulder takes alot longer to heal. I think you will be happy with it Bob. I can tell you that the first couple weeks are a pain in the arse and you have to become proficient at many things left handed You KNOW what I mean hehehe. Anyway good work but dont expect the arm to just straighten out although the closing part should do better. Everyone is different so you never know.

If you look in the top right of the Orthoscope shot I think there is the larger bone shown below embedded . It is in the jar now. They only saved the larger fragments from it and they live in a jar now. I was certainly relieved as I am sure you will be. As armwrestlers it is normal for the after surgery to not be so bad because we do more damage pulling. I bet your shoulder hurts like a big dog though . It will pass .

That's ok James just wait until we get Government Health care...... they do everything else so efficiently. Oh wait I can't name one thing that the Fed's have done effectively. Oh well
I guess this means that you Triple Crown seekers will have a shot at the Masters Left and Right 198's ;D

[James Battles]

Mike West felt pretty strong in Georgia . He and James Retriades managed to get me off my butt and motivated . Now if I could get a good set of lottery numbers it would put me there. I am still working for it but Triple Crown won't happen for me this year because of the one thing.
The almighty dollar.
On the related note. My next door neighbor worked for Admiral McCain as his personal secretary . I have had alot of contact with him talking of old times and learned alot about our republican front runner "the son". I think I will stick with the idea of let's fix what we have instead of the alternative.
