Times Up!

I went in for my first shoulder check today.

Doc said things were pretty ugly when he got inside and I am still at HIGH RISK  for dislocations and further problems.

He kept saying "chronic."

Whatever.

He then moved forward by telling me I would need to stay in my "immobilizer" until Thanksgiving.

With a stunned look I asked him if that meant it was a bad thing that I hadn't been wearing it for almost a week.

He shot me back the same stunned look and replied that yes, it was a bad thing.

I can have my arm out of the "immobilizer" for fifteen minutes TWICE a day.

T w i c e a d a y.

Do you know how hard it is to pull my underpants up over my fat right hip every time I go to the bathroom?

Do you know how hard it is to smoke AND drink coffee with an "immobilizer?"

Do you know how long it is until Thanksgiving?

Do you know that it takes me longer than fifteen minutes to blog and that means if I blog once a day it uses up my two fifteen minute breaks and eliminates shower time?

I have to go, I'm already on borrowed time.
