Introducing the Micromag 2009

Have you ever heard of, or tried, mirror box therapy? I've only ever heard of it being used with missing limbs, but I don't see any reason you couldn't try it. The basic idea is that you build a box that has a mirror on the side and stick your injured hand inside it. The effect is that you see your free hand, and a mirror image of it that appears in exactly the same spot as the one hidden by the box. You're supposed to do some exercises to help relieve the phantom pain and the visual feedback tells your brain that both hands are working correctly.

You could do this yourself for free if you've got a box and a mirror laying around. This is what it looks like:

Funny, I was going to reccomend the same thing.

I run a chamber in san diego, come see me.....

San Diego is a real long walk from St.Catharines, Ontario, Canada.

[Forest_ptp]

HBO?

you guys use pay per view cable TV to heal wounds?



we have a chamber here in town, but I haven't got the $$$$ to pay for it.
it isn't covered by our health care system.
unless it's for something dive related like the bends.

if it's the necessary or only treatment option it's OK and covered;
if it's something that if used can be beneficial but the injury will recover with out it just as well it's not covered kind of thing.

So go for a triple tank dive, get narc'd, and voila you're covered...

Ok Gang....this is it. I am leaving in the morning to sort parts. If for some reason you need to get in touch with me about your order I will be at the shop from 2 pm EST till who knows when, then Sunday from around 9 am till I finish. Call me there 407-321-5133!!!!! This is last call!!!!!!

[Whee McGee]

Awesome!

[LK-13]

it's taken 6 months to get my hand treated,
how long do you guys think I would be kept waiting for the "Bends"
particularly considering I'm not Dive certified and have never been diving in my life.

I got a mild case of trench foot and jungle rot when I as stationed in Panama (the country not the city). Both of them were white like your hand is from being wet for 3-5 days straight. It's not dead tissue. It's just saturated.

You got a open wound bro. It's going to look like crap for a while till it heals, no way around it. As long as the docs scrubbed all the crud out of the wound and your on antibiotics you'll live. If it starts smelling like almonds....Hmmm....Better get back to the docs ASAP.

That first doctor should get heart punched.

Ando is just the guy to do it too...

Secret spy photos from today .

Nope , not done yet

They have 2 more ops and are next on the number 2 machine but wont start running till tuesday or wednesday .

I will be finalizing the torx screws tomorrow while Tracy is sorting through and engraving ppls parts .

All the parts that need to be stripped will go to the anodizer Monday .

The people that ordered standard RAW mm09's guns should have those in the next 2 weeks or less i would imagine .

YAY!

I've only sporadically checked on this thread. I'm excited we are so close to finishing. Can't wait

[stircrazzzy]

I ordered a dust black, and I know I have to wait for them to make it back from anno. Totally understandable. But if there's any way I can get on your good graces enough to request that mine be one of the first sets mailed out after anno, I'd be very appreciative! I'm deploying again in mid October and would really like to finish my gun, and actually go play with it

Thanks, whether the answer is yes or no. You guys rock.

Since we will need a good torx wrench,... could you point me/us in the right direction of what to get?
