Aftermath

[bobquasit]

We're home from the White Mountains. As I noted in the voice post last night, I hurt my left arm quite badly in a fall. I'm basically one-handed right now, and therefore won't be posting as much as usual for a while - I think.

I'm on vicodin for the pain, which equals or exceeds anything I've ever felt before. Although x-rays showed no sign of a break (which completely amazes me) I don't know what other damage I've sustained. I'm hoping there hasn't been any permanent or serious damage to my tendons or other tissues.

By the way, the White Mountains are incredibly beautiful. If you've never been, you really should go.

Sorry to hear that things went that badly in regards to your arm... tendon and muscle injuries can be a real problem (I only have 80% of the motion range in my right hand/Wrist thanks to an industrial accident in my youth that did that sort of thing - heavy machinery dropped on it) so be sure if they offer you therapy sessions to take them as part of the treatment. (I didn't get any, because back then OSHA and workman's comp stuff was not as strong as they could be about such things.... I got 2 weeks off and then had to be back on the job, and this was my dominant arm. The nastiness of the Reagan Era).
