lost balance yesterday and fell into a stack of cinder blocks. got checked out at my primary's urgent care facility and no broken bones/spleen etc, but I am experiencing a level of pain in the left shoulder unlike any pain I have ever experienced. hopefully this will improve by the end of the week or I might be forced into repaying a visit to my primary. As we age it becomes ever more important that we are aware of our surroundings.
I had similar shoulder problem a couple of years ago, certainly the worst pain I've ever had. My advise would be to go see them asap. I waited before going, then had to wait for appointment, I still do not have full movement and at my age,70+, will have to manage as best I can. Good excuse to get son over to do the work though.
ooooh-ouch, robl :( I'm sorry you're in pain :( Do what WK suggested, definitely. Obviously it's good news that you are otherwise, largely undamaged - but I remember when one of my shoulders retaliated (for what really hadn't been much of an incident at all as far as the rest of me was concerned) and it went on for months, making everything I'd normally breeze through, soooooooooo miserable.
I do hope it can be sorted out quickly for you.
I have found as I age that a man loses 3 things, hair, eye sight and I can't remember the third.
I think there's a finite quantity of hair available on the planet at any given moment in time, I really do. I mean, while you lot go about losing your grip on yours, us girlies start finding ourselves ferociously seized at the root by a few we'd never had before - like on a chin or two for example.
Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.
That's no good. I hope you bounce back to health .... errr .... not bounce as such, I mean that might have helped earlier but well .... here's hoping nothing is torn in your shoulder. :-)
Cheers, Mike.

Initial mystery of today is a the phenomenon: wet-right-slipper-syndrome. I mean how? It was warm and snuggly-dry when I took it off last night, and it was cold and sopping when I put it on-EEEUyUCH-offoffoffthis morning.
edit: I finally got a call today (that I was promised I'd get last week and didn't). It wasn't quite as good news as I'd been led to think, but even so, it was nowhere near as bad as everything else was making it look to be a month ago - so that's good :) YAY! Yes, anyway... giant-cell tumour of the tendon sheath on my proximal index finger is the one I'd been told I could expect, which is nice because it's one of those friendly ones *waggle its bigness at everyone* although I can think of better ways of being friendly than doing that to it obviously. A giant-cell bone tumour of the 2nd metacarpal was what I wasn't expecting though, but it too is not hostile and just wants to do its own thing but can't really be allowed to, so it ultimately won't be at some point, which is when they'll go poking around for a spare bone I might have lurking about, and glue that in instead - or something like that anyway.
But it's now dry again. So that's good news!
How is your shoulder doing today, robl?

Maybe you will get a piece of cadaver bone so they don't have to cut out another piece of your own, which of course can be painful on it's own, let along fixing the finger!! I just hope it all turns out well in the end and no one can tell you are waggling a 'repaired' finger due to too much waggling!! LOL!!!

How is your shoulder doing today, robl?
shoulder had been improving over the last 3 days but today, Thursday it is making it's presence well known, i.e., it is quite painful. will just have to endure/tolerate until it decides to calm down. movement is painful but movement seems to reduce the level of discomfort shortly after the movement . I am thinking along the lines of physical therapy and how it can improve a situation like this. the best therapy is to not get yourself into such a predicament!!!
Well I was intrigued enough to scribble it as a question to flash at all my co-habitants as they emerged in my path, and yes, whilst a critter is exactly what was behind it getting wet, a son is behind it being replaced. He'd retrieved it from the bath he'd been about to get into, after it had been deposited as a somewhat unwelcome gift by our cat Smudge. I thought he'd given up things like that I really did, after he'd dropped a wristwatch from my dressing table (that I'd taken off especially to have a bath without) into my bath within, and that I'd not been at all happy enough about to appreciate his big, deep but-I-did-it-cos-I-love-you-purr.
So, mystery solved!! :) Tonight's mystery however, is completely different. It's: why do I have an Einstein cpu task that won't checkpoint every ten minutes like it's supposed to do according to my local preferences, but only did so for the first time after 2 hours and 48 minutes at around the 25% complete mark. It's fiiiiiiine it's curious. I like curious :)
Maybe you will get a piece of cadaver bone so they don't have to cut out another piece of your own,
I'd not thought of that. My mum had a bit of her hip used to fix her neck with. She'd been pottering about in pain with it for six years whilst it was, unbeknownst to her, fractured in two places. So that was lucky. Oh. Erm... actually - you have to be quite selective when it comes to choosing which bit of all that was lucky really, but you know what I mean... hopefully :)
I am thinking along the lines of physical therapy and how it can improve a situation like this. the best therapy is to not get yourself into such a predicament!!!
Yes. Twice. Of course sometimes predicaments just sort of happen out of the blue. First... there is no predicament. Then there is, and you find yourself having to cope with it ensuing as best you can, until you reach the aftermath, where hopefully help can become available to un-aftermath if we need it. So do that :)
But you will have to excuse me now. I won my very first collatz TLPTW and I need to go and bask in my glory supervise its progress... and then there'll be a pigeon post too I expect, some time after that and before bed hopefully...
Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.

Hope that shoulder is
Hope that shoulder is mending, sir. Cinder blocks do not a soft landing make. Good luck to you, and wishes for a fine weekend extended to all.
