I've been under the knife 7 times in my life(mainly as a kid for my cleft palette & lip).  The less one can get by without surgery, the better, though, sometimes it's just plain necessary.  Glad to hear you don't need it!

Quick one-armed status update. Went for my first follow-up appointment yesterday and the orthopedic surgeon confirmed that I had 3 shoulder fractures, but was also happy to report that I still won't need shoulder surgery.

I go back Monday to get the staples removed from my lower back and to see how my surgical implants are doing.

I have no words to really express my gratitude to you fine people. You're my family and I'll always love you all.

And now for something c0mpletely different....  Been playing Dragon's Curse this afternoon.
Bad. Crack. Must. Play. Over and over again.

Did I miss something? What's wrong with the totally awesome Dragon's Curse?

Aw I'm so sad to hear that, PD. God bless.

Good to hear you don't have to get shoulder surgery. I've had surgery on BOTH of my shoulders. I'm fully functional but I'd dread having to arm wrestle someone. When I think about it I can feel the affects of it but normally it's fine.

Along with your gall bladder too? God bless ya, joejoe.


I can't bend over til my Dr says so, and yet, my shoulder is killing me the most right now with the exception of my energy levels. Detoxing off of a few weeks of pain meds blows but I'm stopping the opiate train now while I still can.

After months of shoulder pain and being told I'm fine and the bones are healed I went to get a 2nd opinion. Turns out I still have two fractures and I have what is called floating shoulder. Looks like I get to go under the knife a week from Friday to have screws installed

The Doc said he has never seen these two breaks at the same time and I'll be out of action for about 4 months. The actual sucky part is I have to wear a giant sling, even in bed, for 6 weeks. I'm gonna have such a hard time getting comfortable at night. Just an FYI

Does it help when the Dr tells you to bend over?

Sorry... couldn't resist...

Glad to hear that at least you've found a doctor who can finish fixing you up!

The real scary part is watching a person's face contort when the doc asks for his backside to "open wide"

Oh man I didn't think about that! I would hope so since my hand will be resting at my stomach.

TFV?

TFV?
Thunder Force V.  :)

Hopefully you'll be able to. Can't let that boredom creep in. There's only so many books one can read before a game break is needed.

Don't worry, touch pad games (phone, tablet) will work with your nose. Plus, you might be the first person to complete Monument Valley with only your nose (or penis, but I think it needs to be semi-hard for more precision/best results).

Sorry to hear to Matt, that sucks! I've sometimes thought about getting a motor bike for short trips when I need to pick something up quick, but then there's getting caught in the rain, and oh yes, the result of an accident or missing that big ole pothole you should've avoided works differently than if you were in a car... :/

Suddenly the iconic scene from The Matrix has a completely different subtext!

Also, if you would like, I can share a list of "nose-friendly" games that are available for iOS/Android.

Q: Who needs Oculus Rift when you can play Temple Run with your nose?

A: Nobody.
