I broke my left arm yesterday and dis-located my right shoulder - so it's very painful to type. The shoulder should heal quickly. (A doctor buddy was around and slid everything back into place right after it happened) So once the shoulder is good I'll be back. My apologies.

The doc put my shoulder back into place right there in the street and packed my arm in ice. I drove myself to the hospital in my other car, a 5-speed stick-shift. That was fun with one barely functioning hand. The rest of the gang tended to their motorcycles and the one I flipped.
Good news is I'm healing very fast. I already replaced my cast on my left arm with a fiberglass one. My right shoulder is almost fully healed.
Heal fast! The arm will take longer for the bone to mend, so don't push it and permanently damage yourself, we need you!

This morning I rolled out of bed and re-separated my shoulder again. I had to call a mate over, told him how the doc fixed it and he did the same thing. I'm told I should have it in a sling as well. How dumb would I look with 2 arms in slings.

Scroll down to the bottom picture... http://priuschat.com/index.php?showtopic=30902&st=93 You wouldn't look dumb at all, just a bit helpless, which you are whether you want to admit it or not Took me a month before I could put a shirt on (or take it off) without help. Take care of yourself and get well soon!
