Shoulder ouch

So this morning my doctor told me I most likely have a torn rotator cuff and need to ice, rest, medicate, etc my left shoulder. All this due to very unexciting injury at work caused by transferring of a patient. Fine whatever. Coming to realize, however, that resting a shoulder is harder than it may seem. Particularly when shitty car has no power steering and wheel must be cranked to go anywhere. Also problematic because of my amazing ability to find and slip on any and all invisible ice slicks that lie between myself and where I am trying to go. This evening I was saved from FOOSH wrist fracture only by heavy kitty litter I was carrying (in uninjured arm) somehow yanking me back from unbalance state. Still fell and was covered with snow, but landed on soft grass as opposed to concrete sidewalk. Was embarrassed since I'm pretty sure my upstairs neighbours saw me fall out their window. Although...shouldn't they feel obligated to even poke a head out the door and make sure I'm ok? So embarrased, but also a little bitter.

how do i make this title smaller?

So in order to comment on Karen's blog, I had to make a Google account or something to that effect. Then it's like "Create a blog?" Hmmmm....maybe I should create a blog. Wouldn't people love to hear about my exciting adventures as an xray tech and general layabout? So here is the result. Now I must go comment on Karen's blog as originally intended, but I will be back.
