Everything Is Going To Be Alright
Coffee is out, are you coming in soon?
The Good Lady yodelled from the back door.
I grunted and twisted my neck around to reply.
Yeah, two seconds baby. Just getting this bastart out.
The never-ending rain of a Scottish Spring has softened to a mere misty drizzle and I had decided to get a bit of gardening done.
That bit of gardening being cutting down a giant bushy tree which had been going steadily rogue over the last year to the point it was sprawling all over the place like a horny brown octopus.
Which had meant a lot of sweaty axe-mongering to the point that I had gone so berserk I could practically smell Odin's armpits.
The hacking was now done and all that remained was hauling out the last stubborn bits of its roots.
I grabbed at the remains of its pitiful stump and heaved at it like I had time travelled back to 1992 and was trying to yank my younger self out of Big Wendy's bedroom before it was too late.
There was a grinding crack and it popped free. I squeaked as at the very same moment something also popped in my shoulder.
A lesser man would have screamed and burst into tears at the wrenching pain that bloomed through my shoulder spreading out round my body like a sped-up sex fungus.
Fortunately, I was not a lesser man and simply made a small mewling sound and fell to the ground in agony.
Some moments later. I stopped thrashing and groaning and lay still.
I was ok. I was sure I was ok. The pain has stopped. It was all good.
I moved my arm and squealed in torment as my shoulder flared up with more pain than any handsome man should ever have to face.
Fuck!?
My right arm seemed to be fucked. Well, maybe not my arm but my shoulder was and it was unfortunately the fleshy bit that attached my arm to the rest of me.
Wincing I pulled myself up from the ground and tried not to move my afflicted limb.
You'll be ok big dawg, it's just a flesh wound. Everything is going to be alright.
I felt sick with the pain. Genuinely sick and not Instagram influencer sick.
Holy shit, are you ok? You're awfully pale?
The Good Lady squawked with concern as I staggered into the Kitchen.
S'cool sweetcheeks. All good. Just tugged a little something in my shoulder. Don't worry, it's a man thing. I will be fine in ten minutes.
I limped into the lounge and gently sank into the armchair. Bollocks, it fucking hurt to sit as my shoulder throbbed when my arm hung unsupported. Gingerly, I twisted a cushion under my arm and relaxed a bit. The pain receded for a moment leaving only the throbby ache that made you feel slightly sick as if you had found your Grandad's Watersports magazines at the back of a cupboard and they had nothing to do with jet-skis and boats.
The Good Lady bought me my coffee, frowning with worry as she saw me flinching with managony as I attempted to lift it with my right hand.
Are you sure it is ok? You don't need to go to the hospital? You don't look right.
She did look worried. I had to admit, I was a tad myself.
But pain is for the weak and I didn't get to where I was by snivelling about a little twinge every five minutes.
A-Okay, babycakes. Just a scratch. Be better in the morning.
I smiled and tried not to burst out crying with the pain.
If you say so, shall I get you some painkillers?
Funk aye. The big nasty ones with all the codeine, please.
She returned moments later and handed me a couple with some water which I necked.
Eventually, I could feel them kicking in and didn't feel quite so sick with pain.
It's gonna be alright Dawg-Man. You are going to be alright. Everything is going to be alright.
I thought to pass a little time and picked up my guitar with my left hand but as I attempted to lift my right arm away from my body a squarbly jet of pain stabbed out from my shoulder into my brain.
Carefully, I put the guitar back down.
It's ok. Everything is going to be alright. Just have to take it easy for a while. I took a deep breath and tried to relax. It was all good. Everything was all good.
I dozed a little before being awoken by a Wookie's grumble in my nethers. Darn, I need a number two. Stat.
I headed to the toilet and evacuated my bowels with an expertise born of years of number two'ing. However, as I reached for the toilet paper my arm spasmed with pain. Oh shit?! My wiping arm? How the fuck was I going to get around this?
It's ok. You can wipe with your left Snoop Dawg. Everything is alright, you are going to be fine.
Much later after an excessive amount of shoddy wiping, I made it back downstairs.
I felt a bit weak and shaky. It's going to be alright, I told myself. Everything is going to be alright.
The Good Lady came into the room with a glass of wine in each hand and put one down on the table beside me.
Here, thought this might cheer you up.
She smiled and I did too. Wine, of course. That would sort everything. Everything was definitely going to be alright.
I stretched out a hand to pick up my glass and yelped like a cocker spaniel having its nipples waxed.
Hot flaming bat shits, my injured arm is my wine-drinking arm?! What was I going to do?!
Everything is NOT going to be alright.
Shit-wiping and wine-drinking arm, ouch indeed!
Hope everything IS alright soon!
I am sure it will be, tis just a twinge. Albeit one that means I can't move my arm! :OD
Pain in the
arsearmThe worst kind! :OD
My shoulder is a bit fucked, but not that fucked. Good luck.
I am hoping it rapidly improves to not that fucked - that would be a delight!
I'll toast to your health. !LOL
Honestly I feel your pain. There's a lot of things you can't do when that arm is out of order.

Lol, there is indeed. May things are out of consideration! :OD
A glass of wine would heal you mate ;)
It did! Kind of. Well, maybe more than one. lol!
Ouch!!! I hope you are better soon, did you give in and see a doctor?
This post has been manually curated by the VYB curation project
Nah, although if it doesn't improve dramatically in the next day or two I might. I think it will, I am sure it is just a sprain/strain thing
Could you have dislocated it? That would certainly be better than torn ligaments.
It's likely you just need rest though, and some positive thinking :)

I know I havent because I dislocated the other one a few years ago. The doctors were quite impressed because after the x-ray to confirm they had to take another one because it had somehow wormed its way back in!
Rest and positive thinking sounds good to me!
It relocated itself?!?! First I've ever heard of that, but it's definitely a good thing!
I hope you're better soon

Yeah, they had to do another xray to make sure all was well but it happened almost straight after the first one and the doc was looking saying hmm, it doesn't seem to be malformed so much anymore Still hurt like buggery for a couple of weeks!
Best not to go for a repeat performance!
Defintootly not! :OD
Oh man, not the arm with thehandthatchokesthesnake attached to it?
Once I had a broken shoulder blade. Not just like that, there was an icy loch involved and me acting manly confident.
In the hospital the doctor thought it was just a dislocated shoulder. All it would need was a firm tug. Luckily she studied the scans of my shoulder and concluded it actually was broken. Glad she did so before starting to try and relocate it.
Reading your story sure brought back some memories. The whipe arm, having a shower and so forth and so on.
Seems like you may have snapt a muscle tendon in your shoulder. That is freaking painful. You might want to go see a doctor for that.
Good healing to you mate, hope you'll feel better soon.
Ouch! I am so glad she didnt start trying to tug that back into place!
It is quite painful but I am not moving it as much as I can and smearing anti inflammatory stuff on it. Seems to be helping but will defo see the Doc if no improvement.
Might not play volleyball for a while :OD
Volleyball might indeed not be an option. 😜
What might even be worse is that you won't be able to be at El Jeffe's side for a while! This might take some weeks, at least, to heal properly, at home.
(Was it the Bamboo? Those are a nightmare to remove.)
Anyway, hope it improves soon!
You know, that is the bugger. Working from home means now that I have to work with an injury like this. Just not in the office. I remember the days when home working was hard that we would get time off for these things!
Not the bamboo, wont be able to get that till next year, it is solid. Was a big halft tree sort of bush!
Time off / sick leave, seems reasonable to me. But these days it is about what others (not even being doctors) consider that still can be done: "You can still lift a finger, your task will be pushing in numbers. This Hospital bed seems very comfortable, I almost envy you, being able to work, lying on your back."
Bamboo is one tough mother. You might want to get a machine to pull that one out.
Yeah, it seems to have changed since the good old days. No longer can yo get time off will nilly!
I am hoping that if I give it a year after cutting it all back to stubs that it will rot a bit under the wet soil of winter and be easier to chop out next year.
I have the new one planted just in front of it because I couldn't dig it up so I wont notice it at least!
Ohh... The shoulder pain is so bad for arms 😬😬
I once got my hand wrist veins twisted and it pain got my whole hand in pain but I was like oh it's nothing gonna be fine by minutes... Lasted for damn couple of months until therapist did her job..
Honestly you should see a doc...I feel your pain. Everything is gonna be alright.
This Got me !LOL. Still spreading Laughs. :P

That sounds like a horror injury, hope its ok now?
I am giving it till tomorrow before thinking of the doc. If I dont move, its ok :O)
Them Instagram influencers, silly bunch!
Yep it's okay now.
Aight... Hopefully it will be Good again.
Haha, let em take snap and post that on insta story first 🤣 built different.
I have high hopes it will improve. I have been injured many times.
Built different, indeed! :OD
Onli man thing's. Haha!
Wish you speedy recovery mate and have a Great day.
Cheers! Hope you have a good un too! :)
Oooooooo mate, in all seriousness, I hope you have been to get an Xray. Torn rotator cuffs are no fun at all unless you're seriously into pain, speaking of which, and perhaps best not to mention it to the wife, but the pain is said to be worse than childbirth....lets just keep that fun fact in the mens club ;-)
Take care, but really, get down the ozzie!
I think most pain is worse than childbirth. I love telling the missus that. Sometimes when I have the beer shits I tell her it's worse than childbirth. She goes nuts, hahah!
I am giving it a couple of days before seeing the doc. I am hoping it improves. I don't think it is the rotator cuff, as if I would know, lol. It seems to be when I lift it out a certain way. So I keep it hugged in tight to my chest and everything is A-ok but I look like a fanny!
Thought it was a cuppa that sorts everything? It's wine, really? Oh dear, nothing to cheer me up should it be needed.. 😕
Can you use your left hand? That's what some countries do, don't they? No need for paper even, and who needs knives and forks anyway..
A real trouper:
Hope, you're on the mend soon, I can relate to your pain after years of agony..
You take care now, sit down and drink that wine as prescribed..
That is where you have been going wrong! Trust me, ditch the cuppa and start with the wine. Soon everything will look that little bit rosier in life :OD
I am chilling and relaxing as much as I can whilst typing away at work and on here, oops!
😄
Hope you feel better soon. At leaat, as a leftie, I learnt to do a bunch of things with two different hands, including drinking ;^)
Can't say the same about wiping my ass. That's a whole different 'ball' game.
Wiping the ass is boss level hand using stuff. It is really hard!!
I think I am not bad at most of the rest. Or at least I will get by! lol
🦖
HA, I never even thought to look for a dino emoji. I am sure it is a Hypersensitivosaurus!
A friendly philosoraptor ;<)
Hehe, I love dem names
;<)
Hahah that was a good ball pun, and rightfully so!
haha cheers!

An excuse to WFH for the foreseeable future? I notice @nathen007 mentioned 'Torn rotator cuffs'. If so.., these are seriously bad news.
Mine is just about healing from a UX fall last October. They say they don't heal but they do, just takes fucking ages.
I bloody hope its not that, It only affects it when I lift it outward to the side. I can lift it up frontward and across my chest a tad. It was totally unexpected. I was just yanking a root. Bloody getting old injuries!
Hows your sleeping? If it's a rotator then you won't be able to sleep on that side for a good 6 months. I had to take Ibu's and Codeine every night for this long and it's just starting to settle. Even on ur back it wakes you up in the night to remind you it's there..
Doc will tell you straight away from the position it hurts and the position you can hold it pain free and I was like you could tuck it to my chest with elbow bent but if I moved it....
Vultures are circling here mate ....get it checked :-)
I didn't go to the docs, it's a pain in the arse now getting an appointment, a far cry from your days here. It's almost fixed now, and the second time I have aggravated it. Climbing things I have no right to at my age does not help.
It's funny you say that. I can sleep on that side if I gingerly lever myself into a comfy position but my sleep was rubbish because When I moved off it or rolled onto it when asleep it woke me up.
I cant lie on my back either for the awful snoring. Been taking Co-Codamol and Foxy Naproxen which seems to do the trick. I have the naproxen left over from doing my knee in on the stairs. If they run out and there isn't a marked improvement I will be at the docs faster than you can blink
Exactly @slobberchops. Tell him. I did mine a few years ago and it took months to get right. Even now I reach out too far I get a twinge.
Do you not realise, this could mean weeks on the sick :-)
They are pure hard on the sick now! It used to be it was a weeks off injury but now I am allowed to work from home till its better. Its no the same! Grrr
Whatttttt? No extra 2 weeks unofficial 'holiday' per year before HR start sending letters? Ohhh dear, I wish you a speedy retirement Sir, or do people have to work from home when they retire too!
I'd never survive these days, I barely managed 30 odd years ago!
It is interesting to see how times have changed though from reading your stories, and of course the things that haven't. Politics and subterfuge in the stairwell is still a classic!
Hope the family is well :-)
You can still just about squeexe in a two weeker! You have to be careful with the frequency and the length. But if you time it right and dont take the mick yo can get your unofficial annual bonus leave :OD
We are good mate, eke'ing it out until something better comes along! Hope you guys are too!
Excellent news! Try to avoid Mondays and Fridays and just two or three days at a time!
All good here thank you. Very busy. How I wish I could share some of the stories about the kids though lol
Hahah, that is exactly my strategy, it seems to be enough to get under the radar!
It is funny the amount of stuff that just cant be shared on a public blockchain! lol!
Oh No !
Those kind of surprises are no fun !
I hope it turned out to be something more easily fixable that it sounds. Sorry that happened to you.
When you said the Good Lady offered you wine after the pain killers, I became suspicious that she is trying to get rid of you. Alcohol and pain killers are not the recommended combination for living a long life. LOL !
I am thinking it feels a wee bit better now with rest and anti-inflammatories. And painkillers. Don't forget them. Life is quite good on all that. Throw in some wine and you are laughing.
I dont think she would be so blatant at the killing. Something more insidious perhaps ;O)
None will think less of you for giving your arm a rest while drinking whisky through a straw.
That is good to know. I shall inform the missus as surely a man wouldn't be expected to fetch his own Whisky with straw! :OD
Ouch. Fuck I can almost feel your pain. Looks like no masterbating for at least 2 weeks.
I am game for trying! :OD
Lol switch hands up for a little extra spice!
Oh damn. Sounds like a bad injury. Sorry to hear that. Did you get it checked out yet?
We always try and deny an injury and or cold, as if we can just will it away with our thoughts. Though it never seems to work no matter how much we tell ourselves that its fine.
Not got it checked out yet, I am giving it a couple of days. If it got worse or anything I would trot straight off to the docs but so far it seems ok.
It was funny though, it was too painful to deny it. I just sat around looking sorry for myself yesterday!
I see. Could be a baby pulled/torn muscle? Hopefully it's not a ligament or something
I think it is that. I have narrowed it down to one bit which is tender and hot. It feels like one muscle and it definitely only seems to be in one plane of movement so I think rest and all that will help. Fucking gardening. Just when you think you can start you get humped by something!
Getting old socks. I pulled a muscle n my neck really bad ine morning just stretching in bed. I had to wear a neck brace for 3 days lol
Ha, I can so relate. I seem to be constantly pulling something minor or getting bizarre pains from doing every day things.
I have done my neck in before but usually from flinching as an insect buzzes my ear and jerking my head so hard I damage my neck!
It would all be pretty funny if it wasn't so sad 😆
🐝
It would!
☠️🐝☠️
I'm sure your manly scream impressed the women in the next yard, man. That's sad. I hope you're okay now. Although I'm sure a man like you would have healed your shoulder by now.
Its barely noticeable apart from not being able to use it without weeping :OD
The ladies love an injured man!
Right? Some of them think that scars are sexy XD
Those are the nutty ones to run away from! They might want to add to them!
Did you dislocate it?
If so, you are likely too late to reset it ... but ...
Resetting a Dislocated Shoulder
A good friend dislocated his shoulder after an evening with his girlfriend... When he awoke, he didn't realize his arm was under her and somehow wrenched it out of his socket. Of course, we all joke that he rolled over and saw her without her makeup and tried to flee - but was trapped - so he tried to sacrifice the arm and escape.
It's funnier now since his girlfriend is now his wife and she tells the same story. Proud that she managed to capture her prey.
Rest/Heal up. Those guitar strings won't strum themselves.
Lol, ooh man, thats an awesome tale for them to have. The Good Lady actually gave me a scar on my leg from giving me a student hot water bottle back in the day which was a glass bottle filled with boiling water with a thick sock around it. She thought she was doing me a favour on a cold night sticking it in the bed with a drunk me. I of course sensed the heat and leaned my leg on it for ages. Didnt notice till I saw the gigantic water blister the next day! Took months to heal and now I have a white flimsy piece of scar tissue on my leg.
Defo not dislocated, I did that before and think I might recognise it!
Learn to drink with your left.
Hope you heal up quick
It is funny how quick I learned! ;OD
I've been stumped like that before. Hate it when the yard fights back. Even worse is when the neighbor conveniently pops out to ask if you're okay right at the moment something goes down. Like it's some kind of a spectator sport or some shit.
I was lucky that the neighbour didnt po their head over. I would have had to fake it even if it killed me to look as if I was totally fine. Ha. It might have killed me.
I do believe it is nature in miniature fighting back against perceived slights!
All the vibes are connected, man.
You pissed off the tree gods. A pain for a pain.
Well they are in for a damn shock when they see my rewenge that I have lined up!
Take that, all that is green!
Starting to sound less like a gardener and more like a blurtarian.
Oh lordy..I need to have a word with myself. That way lies sadness!!
Damn! Now, the wine part made you realize finally that everything's not going to be alright. And this was way beyond the manly thing and staying strong instead of whinnying in pain.. but something that needed to be checked and prescriptions applied to heal faster.
Did you do? I mean go to the hospital or see a doctor. How soon did you do it? Was it after you couldn't lift the wine glass properly? How long did it take you to heal? I hope you healed though.
By the way, I had a feeling there will be a mess or two in the toilet after your number two because you were using your left hand for your clean up and I wondered if you were able to leave the toilet without leaving a bit of a mess in there.
I havent healed, nor have I see a doctor. I am winging it to see if it starts to improve by itself. There isn't often much that Doctors can do so hoping to replicate what they would normally recommend.
You might be right but at least I kept it off the walls ;O)
Someone is his doctor.. nice.
I hope you get well soon.
:) No worries.... That's bound to happen
Thank you! I hope to get well as soon as humanly possible!
Amen to that!
Ouch!!! Just the way I fell yesterday, It was a terrible experience 😢
Oh dear, hope you are alright!
I am a bit alright, still aching in some parts of my body though.
A couple of days and you will be as right as rain!
Yeah I sure will and thanks for your kind words😃
sooo....how bad is it now?
I think it has improved! It definitely has, still very painful but I can move it more. Another couple fo days I reckon and I can start giving it a gentle stretch and see where I am!
Sucks getting old!
I feel like now I have permanent lower back pain
Yeah it does suck. I keep pulling muscles or getting twinges from doing regular every day things.
The back can be a killer too. I have been doing some hanging which is good for it. You just find a bar or something even a pull up bar in the gym and hand for about thirty seconds on it. Lets your back stretch it out!
It's the airplanes for me post-Covid. My travels are up a order of magnitude and these 16 hr flights every month is not helping
Man sounds like you are fucked. Giving the favoured arm for wiping and drinking I'm assuming you are a righty? Have you dislocated it!? And how are you typing this?
!PIZZA
Fucked, hahahaha! I like your assessment! I am a righty. I can type because as long as I keep my elbow close to my body I dont faint with pain. I look a bit like a Thunderbirds puppet the way I am moving about! :OD
see basically fucked! !LOL im good at calling it! But shit, man, that sounds rough! Gotta just let it hea now. But maybe you need some top-grade drugs; the over-the-counter stuff won't cut it. Maybe get an anti-inflammatory patch from the pharmacy as well. will definitely help the healing!
I have Naproxen from an old knee thing. It works quite the treat. None of this ibuprofen nonsense. That and the Cocodamol seems to be doing a fair number on me if not making me a tad sleepy. Ican defo detect an improvement now though. I will be fine by the weekend! ;OD
I am also of the same opinion that you should give your shoulder to the person who is there, because the person who is very worried and tired of the world needs this kind of companion very much and gives him a new way to live. There can be hope, but if we think that everything will be fine one day, it will never happen. Problems will keep coming in life.
Problems keep coming but if we face them head on with a cheeky grin and a You ain't gonna beat me attitude we will be alright :OD
Oh man, so sorry to hear about the injury! Sounds like a rotator cuff injury.
It happened to my dad, only he injured both shoulder sockets at once. He was walking my brother's very large and rambunctious dogs when it happened or should I say they were taking him for a brisk jog. Leave it to my pops to take it to the extreme. I have no idea how he did much of anything for himself for the next few weeks. Keep the vino close at hand my bother!
I am hoping it is not. I think I can feel a little difference in it today which might be a good sign.
Crikey, to injure both shoulders at once is just horrible luck. I think the wine ewwould have to be doubled up in that case if it happened to me! :OD
That's a great sign that you feel better. Maybe just a sprain?
My dad was always getting into this kind of trouble but, thankfully, he was a tough one. I think his injuries required surgery though. Wine heals all wounds. Lol.
Yeah, in thinking a sprain, I have been able to calm down on the painkillers today!!
Who knows, another couple of days and I might be back on the parkour! 🤣
I'm glad you're on the mend! Haha, if you do attempt parkour please take video. : )
I think that would be a highly comedic video!! Lol
if your arm is badly hurt, you need to do some rest mate. Do you really know how to play the guitar? if yes, when you are recording a video for all of us?
I do but I dont rate myself that highly enough to do a video!
Shit man that sucks!
Dislocated
Torn rotator cuff
Torn deltoid
Which one of these 3 was it?! I sure as shit hope you went to get an X-ray! You may even need an MRI depending on the results of the X-ray.
It sucks when we try to do something that we could have years ago and our body gives us a big old “nope, sorry asshole you didn’t stretch let’s get you an injury” lol.
For this very reason of anticipating something like this, I’ve practiced wiping my ass and brushing my teeth, not at the same time and with hand washing between of course, with my left hand so that I can get used to doing them while I’m not jacked up. Not fun but shit happens! Lol
I wasnt even sure what the deltiod one was but I had a google and it looks like that would fit the symptoms!
I haven't been to the docs but it genuinely seems to be improving a little and that has been a short space of time so I am hoping it is not a full on pull or tear and just a strain or something.
But yeah, I remember I could do as I pleased without giving a hoot for the consequences! Not like now!
Deltoid is an important one but you can live without getting it fixed. One of the most important things with repairing muscles like that is limit the sugar intake!! Sugar slows down healing of these things so it sucks to deal with it but eliminate sugar as much as you can and it should get better in a good manner.
I can’t speak much of it though because I partially tore my bicep tendon years ago but never got it looked at :D. It’s largely back to normal except I can’t do pull ups because of the strain it puts on it. I haven’t done a pull up or attempted in a while but when I was going to the gym all the time that was my biggest limitation. These things do heal, we just have to be careful with them.
In a couple weeks, I figure around maybe July you should do some light physical therapy to help give it some strength back. Keep that up for a while and you should be largely back to normal! PT exercises for deltoid are super easy too, can get a resistance band off Amazon for like 5$ and that’s all you need. Look up a few videos and bam, you save a trip to the doctor.
Oh that is good to know. By limiting my movement these last days I have noticed a difference already. It is not that horrifying deep ache anymore and I can move my arm in a wider range without screaming. I have a resistance band or two from previous injuries so I think you are right. I will check out a couple of vids and see what I can be doing to help it. It is a bummer now that you mention pull ups as that is one of my mainstays in the gym as it is sog good! We do have one of those ones that assist your weight though so I can pile the pounds on that to make myself light when ready!
Till then, easy does it!
Everything will be fine and you will overcome it, you are the supreme leader precisely because of your strength and resistance to pain.
You should have thought about leaving the tree in the garden we could have made a beaver trap out of it and you would have saved yourself some heartache, it's gone now.
Update me on your boss conditions!
If you need to, the anti-reptilian extermination squad will come to you in a heartbeat.
Meanwhile you have Your beautiful lady who knows how to cure you... in vino veritas! So said the Latins.
But above all, wine is a great medicine!
As I read this I wondered if it would end in injury. I've put my back out in the garden once or twice. Easily done when you are jerking things around at odd angles (oo-er missus). I hope it heals soon.
What you really need is whisky! God's own medicine.
Have a rest.
I have had
I have had whisky, I like to think it has made a difference. I think I can detect a loosening up of it already which is a good sign!
The garden can be a nightmare for injuries!!
I've had my share of gardening injuries. Nothing needing the hospital though.
Will here's hoping there never will be!!
instagram influencer sick oh that had me chuckling
They are a funny bunch!! 😀😀
like traffic wardens lol
Grr, the sneakiest of the sneaky!

T'was a great movie! They are the worst. I really wouldn't mind if they were slightly fair but hiding and pouncing and refusing to listen to reason, they can be a bit mental
Twas indeed, and yes they're somewhat of a liability, the good ones are few and far between
You made me snort in a most unladylike fashion. 😆
And then I kinda got scared. You need to go and get that xrayed immediately dude. Make sure it's not dislocated.
If @mattimix wasn't such a Bot he'd be able to tell you a story about shoulders, shit doctors and The Matrix that I think may make you sweat and laugh at the same time.
He doesn't even come up as around here when I tag him. I'll send this to him on DM.
Meantime. Post cool photos of your bones so we can get an inside peek into what actually makes you tick, when you're back from the doctor, please.
I suspect you're an alien anyway. So prove you're human :D
No x-rays for me, they wouldnt be bale to pierce my beautiful skin!
I am actually improving quite rapidly. It was truly humped for the first few days but I did notice an improvement yesterday and even more today! I am quite sure if I take it easy it will be alright in a week or so which I did not expect as it was so painful!
I would hate to attempt to prove I am human as it would ruin the mystique! ;O)
Oh good lord.
Okay. On you go.
But if you're wrong I'm so going to totally say "I told you so!"
Hope you're right though. We need your hands in working order to keep us entertained.
I am hoping madly not to be wrong. I will attempt to swing it about later, gently of course. See how the wind lies.
Prepare the I told you so's!
Okay. Now listen up!
My old friend (and I mean he's old now and so am I a bit, but also that we've been friends for over 40 years now - holy f*ck is that even possible?!), Matt was doing pull ups off a tree branch.
Long story short was that he meandered around for roughly 5 months before a kind doctor who knew what he was doing (because the first one was a bit dim) xrayed the thing and informed him his arm was dislocated at the shoulder.
Two operations and some physical rehab and, over a year now, he is starting to use it properly again.
So I don't want to alarm you or anything but... there's that.
The second doc at the hospital was stunned at how Matt had managed it and how strong the shoulder muscles or whatever still were, btw. So Matt told them about his Qi Gong.
He was using it to get well. He's been practicing it seriously for thirty odd years. And the doctors at the hospital were pretty confused at how he'd kept going for so long and how strong his arm still was.
So... Matt tells them about his daily Qi Gong because he's been very disciplined and serious about getting better.
The one doctor laughs and says, "Hey. This isn't the Matrix man." To which, turning around slowly and lowering his sunglasses, while making direct eye contact with him, Matt says...
"Good evening Mr Anderson."
You'd have to hear him tell the story though. Accent and all. And he tells a far better joke than I.
Anyway. Better safe than sorry is all I really wanted to say :D
Haha, I bet there doctor liked that one!
I totally agree, it is better to be safe than sorry and if I thought there was something untoward I would defo go get it checked. It's doing good though, I can move it properly as long as it's slow and it seems to be getting better at a rate of knots. I will be playing piano and tennis assassin before you know it 🤣🤣
It would be funny to hear that with the accent too 😀
Cool :)
Look after yourself then. 🌼
(And yeah... he did the accent perfectly in the voice-note! :D )
I am looking after myself by incredible relaxing in a rare sunny day in a chair out the back!!
Perfect :D 👍🏻
And I saw what you did there 😏
Also... a clever alien would refuse to take the test. So...
My suspicions may be confirmed
Dammit, the old double bluffing never works no more!
I've seen too much to be fooled by the old double bluff. You'll have to resort to mind control 😏
How's the arm feeling?
I hope much better, now is when I'm reading what happened while I was cleaning the garden, the good thing about this was that you got out of your comfort zone by using the other arm to go to the bathroom, play guitar and have a glass of wine, that's called being strong and accepting pain with gallantry, but in my case, I run to the hospital to have an X-ray to avoid major ailments.
Health for life
I am starting to get better I think. So it's a good thing I didn't run to the doctor's!! Although if I thought it warranted it I would have!!
It is good that it is under control, if you can move it without pain it is very good news, especially the rotator cuff, which helps to rotate the arm, is healthy.
Take care Mr☀️🙏
Yeah, if I move it slow and carefully it's fine. As long as I go easy, I'm happy 😀
🤗🌞🙏
It seems that you have an injury, this is quite painful, remember that I exercise and I have some knowledge of the subject, I just hope that you get better and be patient while you recover, you can drink wine calmly afterwards, I'm sure
It's getting a lot better. In fact I don't think it will be long before I am tip top!!
