I know, I know, I should be stoned for not having posted for so long. Or maybe banned from sweet treats...which is worse?
So what's been shaking? In March we went to visit R's fam for a couple of weeks. Of course, I brought my camera and promptly forgot to take pictures for the entire visit. I'm awesome like that.
Something SUPER exciting happened, something that makes me squeal like a girl. I. HAD. SURGERY!
Why is this exciting, you ask ?
Well, for those of you who either don't know me or just don't pay attention, I was broken. All wonky like. Since 2004.
I was the passenger in a rollover car accident. We went down a hill and slammed into a tree. A redwood tree, right where I was sitting. The driver & two other passengers were fine ( a little whip lash, a couple of stitches). I came out with a concussion, broken clavicle, six fractured vertebrae, compressed vertebrae, multiple lacerations and a wound that resembled ground beef more than the back of a shoulder. Yummy, huh? Just be thankful I don't post photos. The bone injuries never healed, and I've been walking around with a broken clavicle and nerve damage since. Awesome, right?
I finally get myself insurance that covers the previous injuries (hooray!!) and find out that one section of the clavicle is pressing on my lung. So, surgery! This is incredibly exciting because, ideally, the bones will heal properly, fixing the nerve issues and back problems. I didn't just slouch, I rolled forward. I looked horribly shrunken, and could barely lift my tubby lil 20lb terrier.
If all goes, I will be able to lift my arms above my head with no problem, lift things, and (glee!) go swimming again. Not to mention have better posture, and oh yeah, no worries about puncturing a lung if I get into a fender bender, or trip over my own damned feet. It's a miracle it hand't happened, honestly.
For now I'm incredibly pampered by the R, well medicated for pain, and have an amazing new laptop (thanks, Babe!) to keep me occupied. Oh, yes, also, I'm looking into starting a business! Can I get a yee-haw?
Sorry, TX is seeping in....
I'm still working on official-like designs & inventory for the shop. When it's all ready, I'll make a fuss.
Enough shameless promotion? I think so.
As always, thanks for reading. I"ll try posting more pics later, when I have a functioning right arm n all.
