So I’ve been neglecting you guys over here. It’s not personal, believe me.
Last Tuesday, I thought I’d hyper-extended my elbow. No real biggie; I’ve got really loose ligaments (which is why going to the gym is so vital; it’s what holds me together!), but a visit today with the sports med doctor I adore didn’t go so hot.
It’s not a hyper-extension. It’s a mild dislocation, and I’ve been doing it repeatedly since February, when I went out and shoveled all that snow we got here in the Western side of Mars. And… there might be some serious ligament damage after last week’s stunt.
I’m supposed to head out to the Lori Foster weekend tomorrow, but I can’t spend five hours outside of my spiffy new sling. I mean, I CAN. I just got the sling, after all, so it’s not like I haven’t been toughing it out. But it HURTS, guys. It’s not worth the five hour drive and the pain that it’ll bring. Not when the sling helps so nicely…
So that’s the saga. More as I know it, which will be next week, in fact, when they take a better, deeper look inside. It might be a summer of not so many posts around here, but let’s deal with that hurdle when we get to it…

Ugh! I know it’s tough to be encumbered by the sling, but it sounds like you know it’s worth the inconvenience in the long run (assuming the immobilization will get you on the road to healing).
So sorry to hear this news; hope you’re feeling better soon!

I’ve been clicking around trying to find out what’s going on… I am so far behind. Sorry to hear about the pain! Naughty you for going so long… but then I saw something on FB about an MRI… geez, hon, take care.

No rides available? Bummer, but it really is more important that you take care of yourself.
