Torn Rotator cuff blues I didn't get much written last week, but in my defense last Monday on the way to work I hit a pile of wet slippery leaves on my bicycle - at which point the bicycle gave up any responsibilities it saw itself as having - as to remaining vertical or even attached to the ground at all. And my right shoulder drove into the concrete sidewalk a somewhat unresilient surface at about 15 miles an hour. This is at that patch of road where New Hampshire ave. sweeps down hill onto Piney Branch. I have been able to do very little with my right arm since then. It does not lift, it does not bend in many of its former directions. It aches if I type more than a sentence or two at a time. My sister Ellen, who is a nurse, tells me this sort of thing takes six to eight weeks to heal. I intend to write more short length posts for a while. The previous post (below) was about two thirds finished when this happened. And was something of a bear to complete. Especially that last part where I go over it move worlds and phrases from subject to predicate and vice versa. Arrange commas randomly, to make the whole seem more rational than it actually is. I've often forgot what I was trying say by that point. 11:20:49 AM    comment [];trackback [];
