doctor, medic, nurse

another day passes, as the hourglass turns...

so today i got to visit the orthopedic doctor to check on last saturday's injury. ends up i actually broke (fractured, i mean what is the medical term?) my scapula in the oddest place. its at the interior portion that looks like a peninsula. but that's pretty insignificant. short story - the pain has been minimal until we tried to figure out what was wrong and twisted my arm in various directions as if to see if i posses some sort of windmill powers. good news is that it will heal on its own and i have no need for any surgery, brace, or other awkwardness. and it only takes 4-6 weeks to heal. the bad news is that i'm not supposed to 'aggravate it', which is kind of vague. so i ask the nice doctor: bike riding? answer: two weeks - i think one should be fine as long as i stay on the road and smooth trails. next: how about soccer - can i play that, its not much of a contact sport? answer: incredulous look followed by, isn't that how you got hurt? three to four weeks. so looks like i'll be inactive until after my UK trip.

other than that life progresses. i have rediscovered the clarity and focusness of organizing things about the house and other things i've been meaning to do. now all i have to do is follow up and get myself a new job; the current one bores me something fierce, and i fear i am loosing my motivation and edge.

tonight should be fun as james and i are to venture out to opal divines (a local pub) and finally participate in one of their scotch tastings. should be a good prelude into tomorrow, an all day meeting for one of my projects; which will consist of 6 hours of presentations to government folks. the job is phase 2 of the Dallas Veterans Cemetery.

wish me luck!
