Accidental summary

 Basically except for limbs, the upper half of my body is all broken.

================================

Thank you.  Lemmesee, acupuncture, knitting kneedles, K1P2, sounds easy Grasshopper.

================================

In the meantime, I’ve got a shitload o oxycontin, a pair of sliced-off race leathers, 17 bags o frozen peas, a Kindle, first season of Arrested Development and a trailer hitch I installed that didn’t fall off :o)

================================

Heal fast and do whatever the fuck you want to do!

================================

Ventilator and all the power tools.  Some dodgy moments where my Ma and Peper thought I might go the way of the dinosaurs.

================================

Up until the bucking though, I was having a balls-out blast on the Shen.  Bessie got a little squirrely in the corner, I thought I’d gas her a bit to upright and stabilize but “I must have used a little too much force.”  (Bob Dylan, Blood on the Tracks)  Even during the shimmy I thought “this is fucking great!”  Felt like Casey Stoner driving it out of the corner on that enraged-bull Ducati o his.

Ah, thank you for not being all chicken-soup-for-the-xxx-soul

================================

looks like a pile o pick-em-up sticks compared to the innocent left side.

================================

i dodged any organ damage bullets this time, but since my right ribs have shot their wad, they can’t repeat their performance again.

================================

Did some interesting reading today.  Got my x-rays on CD from shock trauma.  The films make interesting reading.  I found I cared about the characters.  Some contrived elements, like the titanium plate seemed a little external to the main plot, but overall i’d say it works.  Not much foreshadowing, but definitely a rising tension.

================================

Results:

  Winchester shock trauma

  pneumothorax, ventilator

  UM shock trauma in Balto

  plate in left shoulder for broken humerus

  broken right clavicle

  broken right scapula

  7x broken ribs & punctured lung

================================

I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker,

And I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat, and snicker

(t.s. eliot)
