When a lung is punctured, removing the insulting objec= t can cause the lung to collapse, pneumo-thorax. It's also possible that remov= ing something may increase/quicken the bleeding ... all depends on site of wo= und, organs involved, movement. Definitely things to consider if/when we try = to help someone who has been injured. ____________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape WebMail account today at http://webm= ail.netscape.com. ------------------------------ From: "big Joe A." Date: Mon, 13 Mar 2000 13:00:47 PST Subject: eskrima: Achilles injury Hi guys, I was wondering if any of you could give me some advice and info on achilles tendon injuries. I'm asking because my instructor ruptured his achilles this saturday while we were sparring. I was wondering just how serious of an injury this is and what kind of limitations he will have after he recovers. I'm worried because he is 60 and was wondering if that would greatly effect his recovery. i took him to an urgent care center where the doc gave him the bad news and splinted him up. Amazingly enough he didn't seem to be in much pain. I thought it was just a bad sprain but apparently not. So he's off to see a specialist today and will likely be having surgery. If any of you can give me more info about this type of injury and ways to help him regain range of motion and strengthen it after he heals up it would be much appreciated. Thanks for any help you guys can offer. Your friend in training, BIG Joe ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ From: "Vincent Bollozos" Date: Mon, 13 Mar 2000 14:03:35 PST Subject: eskrima: how much: Kukri from WW2 I was at flee market and ran across a Kukri from WW2, what would be the going rate?
