Weak one

[glenatron]

One week on from breaking myself and it looks as though my shoulder has been doused with turmeric- it is a bright, lurid, yellow. Also the bones are bumpy and clearly wrong. Not nice to look at. I should get a picture. The pain is less severe now - a dull ache in the area of the broken bone itself and occasional agonising spasms when muscles around my shoulder cramp up for no clear reason or because I moved and they resent that.

The weekend was largely saved by an awesome alliance of my wife and mum, who conspired to get me a Wii and Twighlight Princess for it. I love the Zelda games ever since the first one and this is as good as ever. Because I can move my left hand but not arm and move my right arm normally the controls mostly work fine.

A short walk today showed me how far from normal I am as well under a mile in the sunshine was about my limit. I probably need to keep doing that just to help my body recall what it is for. I'm avoiding travelling by car when I can avoid it as every bump jars painfully through me. This means I've not seen my pony since last week. I'm sure that bothers me more than him...

Oof! I remember that feeling of every bump on the road making me want to scream.

Get well soon!

definitely photograph bruises. They are fleeting, but honorable.

I hope you feel stronger and less pained soon. This is the worst part for me; the waiting to feel normal again.

Lou and your mum are clearly both awesome. That sounds like exactly the right thing to keep you at least semi-occupied.

My collar bone had a similar sort of bump on it for ages, but it was odd how quickly it went from being 'oh, look at THAT' to 'if I run my hand along there it feels a bit weird, I guess.'

Hope the recovery goes well and isn't too annoying to sit through.

Poor you! :-(

Definitely think we need some photos - the battle scars in the flesh etc! ;-)

Very good luck for Weds - will be sending good luck vibes your way - and so far the evidence of the last couple of weeks from other quarters seems to suggest my good luck vibes are working well!!!!
