Short and sweet, I’m doing better today.
The longer version:
For those not in the know, I had shoulder surgery this past Wednesday to repair my collar bone. I also got a nice metal plate to cover the bone. [1]I can’t wait till I fly again. TFA came into town (on his birthday no less) to stay with me. He had already planned to be here however, he deserves a recommendation for sainthood after putting up w/my constant up/down emotions. That said, I can’t tell you how much better I felt having him here. He stayed with me thru the surgery and made sure I got home safe/sound.
I’m sad to say all of the friends who did sit around with me got to see my really cranky side. Not towards them mind you, and I’m by no means a nasty person but, anyone outside my immediate bubble was an easy target for my anger. I really am a big baby when I get hurt/sick.
Anyway, yesterday the pain was almost unbearable. I pushed my 4 hour limit all day long for taking pain meds. Moving was almost impossible and trying to function in any capacity was a struggle.
Today was much better. I was in about half as much pain and moving around did not send pain down my spine. I got out of the apt a couple times and even found the energy to catch up on my blogroll a bit.
I must say all the well-wishes from everyone has totally blown me away. I’m not yet able to type out replies to everyone but I want you all to know how grateful I am. The replies and good thoughts brought me to tears more than a few times.
The doc says I’ll be back at work in about 2 weeks but the working out will have to wait several months. I’m sad about that but it is what it is.
Ok, I’ve reached my limit for typing w/o pain, more later and again thank you all so very much for checking in on me and well wishes!

So glad you’re doing so much better. Don’t fret about the workout stuff. You’re golden.
And welcome to the Metal Plate in your Body Club!
Sorry to hear about your accident. Hope you have a speedy recovery.
TFA really is a sweetheart.
At least you’ll be able to make up stories about how you got the metal plate. I think the words knife fight, Secret Service, and Bush should figure prominently in one of them. As for the gym, maybe your doctor will let you do cardio. Not the same as strength training, but it’s a hell of a lot better than nothing.
OMG! Just checked in. So sorry to hear that you’re in pain. Hope you mend fast! -David (doxy63)
Hi Moby! Get well soon! Well, now you have a story to tell. Whether you stick to the truth or not is up to you, but you’ve got one. And, you’ve lived to tell the tale, that is what is important. Be well!
you’re looking good, my friend. here’s to many better days ahead. with your nice plate, of course.
Who else looks so sexy on the mend? Glad to hear you feeling better. Just don’t try to rush it. And if the pain makes you grumpy, then the pain makes you grumpy. Nobody can blame you for it.
OK I wasn’t going to mention it, but since LT opened the door on the topic…damn dude…you may be in pain but you look SO hot in the ratty old tank and the betadyne and seems like the cranky-er you get, the hotter you get. Just sayin. Be well Moby. I’m glad you survived. Jeeeeez. You couldaben killed, damnit.
I wish you all the best Moby!
