A** in a sling.

Arm, that is. Looks like I may have a torn bicep muscle. Find out after the MRI in the morning. I have a temporary cast that goes from my hand to my armpit. Just what I need entering the construction season.

Guess I'll go see if I have any of that all-purpose cough medicene/pain reliever left. I wonder how bad an MRI will be hung over....

What really stinks is that it is my writing/typing/driving/personal hygiene hand. You never realize how difficult some things are until you try them wrong handed.

I tore my right bi-cep years ago playing Rugby and like a *******, I never went to the doctor because I thought it was just a bad bruise. Only after about 2 months when the black and blue wore off of my arm and the swelling went down, did I realize that I had torn it. Needless to say , it was never repaired and I wish that I had done it. It is going to be a problem your whole life if you dont have it repaired, trust me.

I don't do that kind of work - I am an Engineer but my busiest time of year is coming up and this kind of injury could really put a damper on what I can and can't do.

Had the MRI yesterday - the doctor should have the report tomorrow and we'll see what he says after that.

I hope everything works out ok. I just finished 5 wks of PT for my back. Its much better & I'm ready for spring now. I work in construction & know how much work picks up this time of the yr. I do side jobs a lot this time of yr & I'd hate to lose the extra money.
