Default Re: State of the Site

As for me. Had a bad fall a while back.

Metal plate and pins holding left shoulder together.

Left arm doesn't work. 3 broken ribs. Broken collar bone, Shattered left scapula, inluding the rotator cuff socket that supports shoulder arm movement. Cleared of suspected broken vertebrae in neck which worried people for a while there. Oh, and a broken big toe which seems insignificant in comparison.

Resting and healing. Had to peel much of the deltoid and lateral muscles away to repair bone injury. They're still healing. Left arm strength is non-existent as a result. Muscles still there, just not re-attached to bones yet for strength. Long road to recovery still to go. Am drugged up and all dopey. Not looking forwards to trying to wean myself off the painkillers.

Am alive. Am okay. Plenty of people lots worse off than me, so I'm not going to whinge about any of it as I have no real right to. I consider myself lucky.

Am not looking for any sympathy. Just stating the facts.

Sorry I haven't been around as much lately though guys. Just trucking along. I'll be back when I'm able to.
