OH NO! NOT AGAIN!

Unfortunately, yes.  I fell.  Yesterday morning.  I won't go into the gory details of how it happened, but while my shoulder hurt (still does), it didn't feel like a break.  As if I knew what a break would feel like.

So I went to see my chiropractor who advised me to go get an x-ray.  It turns out that there is an acute care center just down the street from my place, or as Cliff described it, just across the street from Baskin Robbins.

After the usual paper work, they x-rayed my shoulder.  (8 x 10 glossy prints available on request.)  Diagnosis?  At first they thought it was a rotator cuff injury, but then came back to say that there might be a slight break in the area of a previous break.  And it might be that slight break and rotator cuff.  Marvelous.  In the meantime I'm wearing that sling.  It doesn't hurt if I don't move.

Oh, let's find something funny --

GREAT COME-BACKS
