The detailed update...
16 years ago
I don't post here often enough for a number of reasons, the least of which is FA isn't exactly iPhone friendly.
Last year I started driving Big Rigs for a living... Its long work and while I managed to make FC this year, and have a good friend take a ride with me for a while, I havn't really had the time I used to for browsing through my favorite artists and socially networking through all of my watched artists comments and such like I used to.
In fact when I'm on the road, there are many days I don't dig out the laptop at all, only using the iphone for email and LJ. I've got an iphone app to update LJ and it works rather well... I wish there was a similar functionality for FA, perhaps through the WordPress API? I diegress...
Last month, on the 13th of Novemeber I got hurt. I didn't see the doc until 18th. I hyper-extended my right shoulder as a box took it behind my head and down after I had reached up to grab it. I have not driven since the 18th.
Yesturday, I went in for an MRI of that shoulder, and I'll find out on Tuesday what the news is. Right now the muscle strength in my right arm is ok for most normal movements unladen. I've got some loss of range of movement in the extreme ends. My physical therapist believes it will come back as a tendonosis in the point of my shoulder. My physical therapy is progressing well, but I have a lot of weakness around that hurt area with some exercises limited to just a few pounds of resistance.
I have the time to look up my old friends again. I've found a number of my old friends on FurryMUCK are still there and I enjoy time with them and remember fondly working nights in hotels. Money's tight just now as my benifit checks have yet to start arriving but I've got support and food and such so I'm not in a panic for that.
There it is in a nutshell... Unicorn's still lame.

Sorry that your birthday present might turn into a Christmas present instead. Did you get anything from the list you put up on LJ yet?
Yes, you can find me on FurryMUCK.
