one-armed bandit


Here's me. I "fell down and went boom" on Thursday. We had freezing rain in Toronto, and despite my experience as a curler, I still managed to have a wicked wipe-out that dislocated my right shoulder. I was lucky that nothing was broken, and that I didn't have to wait in the ER at all. I was also lucky to get some awesome drugs. "I want full sensory deprivation and backup drugs, sweetie!" (Edina Monsoon, Absolutely Fabulous)

Ironically, just as I was on an iv and oxygen at St. Michael's Hospital, my friend Peter was leaving a voice message for me at work warning of the icy conditions outside.

So, I'll be in a sling (and not the fun kind) for a while. My work--and worse, my blogging--will be impeded. Sigh.

that sounded extremely painful.
(i sat here for 2 minutes and have got nothing to say, i mean, you can't say, hang in there buddy, or what's a fun sling?)

Well done, single-handed post. Keep hunting and pecking under the influence of whatever drugs are working.

It was a tough week for our blogger community. Hang in there and heal quickly.

You never had a problem typing with one hand while the other one was 'busy' before, so I don't see why you have to stop blogging.
I sooo agree with Jimmy!

Since I walk by your house daily (but not in the stalking way)I would be happy to get you anything you need. Just call me or email me and place your order.

I guess that's a different kind of ordering in than what you are used to.

I have lots of DVDs if you want to borrow some (all my DVDs are not horror movies).

I hope you are feeling better soon.

Poor baby. One time my brother tied a towel around his neck like a cape and jumped off the dresser like superman, and when he landed he dislocated his shoulder. I laughed for a week.

teh, you are such a prankster! And that story was about you last month, not your brother when you guys were like 5.
