Damn, sorry man. Hate to hear this. Regarding your assertion here that you are not well liked, you need to understand that we have accumulated much bigger assholes in recent years. You're dickheadedness is barely a blip on the radar these days.
Best of luck to you bud. Do what the doctors say for recovery. Don't dick around and get the wound infected. I am pretty danged healthy and got MRSA on my leg. Don't do that. It blows.
Mikey, first of all, please remember that CP banter is just boys being boys (with a couple of exceptions where girls are being girls). Heck, half the folks on CP are really, really great folks. The other half (this is the half I'm in by the way) are total idiots, but still great folks!
Hang in there bro and please do ALL of the rehab stuffs regardless of how stupid and onerous it may be.
