SNAP..... not good....
So, I was simply bending over to get something out the newly acquired 78... and Then SNAP.....
followed by an extreme amount of pain in my thigh....
it was so loud i thought the bone broke.... people staring because i let out one of those HOLY JESUS screams.... couldn't move without pain...
Dr says 3 months to heal a major tear in my hamstring... been 5 days... just starting to walk again....
are Vette Injuries common?

I have had several busted knuckles and sore backs. I hope to never tear a hamstring working on the vette. Get well soon.

I consider any work on the vette a "project" once it's christened with blood. Minor cuts and lacerations seem to be par for the course ...not to mention a rapport of "colorful metaphors".
Sounds painful ...take it easy and get healed up.
