Hello Mr. Vicodin

Well, I survived my surgery… So far. For the first several hours afterwards, I was under the effects of a nerve block in my shoulder that made my entire right arm completely numb. Now that that’s worn off, I’m in a considerable amount of pain while waiting for the Vicodin to kick in… And I’m hoping to avoid some of the more unpleasant side effects of said Vicodin.

Doc said I had an “interesting” injury, but he was able to make the necessary repairs without any trouble. I’ll be in a sling for six weeks, and then I’ll have several months of physical therapy. In the meantime, though, I’m getting a crash course on how to do everything one-handed, and I’d consider it a huge accomplishment just to get some sleep tonight.

Good times…
