Shoulder Progress



Although this isn't my shoulder, my Xray looks similar. In fact, the clavicle, the bone on top sticking up there, sticks up a little higher on me. Things are healing well and quickly and happy to report. On Sunday I was wondering if I'd ever be able to lift my arm again. Today, I'm typing with great fury and even drinking whiskey with my right hand (got my Templeton Rye in a Tennessee Squire tumbler. Raise em up and take a sip for Roy Ritter RIP).

If there's one thing I've managed to do in the last 5-10 years it's learn from the mistakes of my friends. I don't do shots (well, except for that one time in Ames last year which is a perfect example of why I don't do shots. I'm not embarrassed about the dancing, but I don't like puking). I don't go to strip joints and lie about it. I have never cheated on my wife. And I listen to doctors orders. Regarding the latter, it proved beneficial for my vasectomy, so I'm hoping for the same results on my shoulder.

Gotta hit the gym though. If I had to guess my weight increase, I'd guess it at 20lbs up from summer time. Not cool.
