Injury poetry!

I broke my upper left arm humerus on Sunday.

Here is a poem Lift/pasted from the divine Medicalese from my Harlem Hosp ER Report:

Impression: DX Humerus Left

Discontinuity of the cortex

Of the greater tuberosity noted

On the frontal view

May represent fracture

Of the surgical neck

No dislocation noted

Joint spaces maintained

No joint effusion

Soft tissues unremarkable

On a separate note:

Melancholy - a bitch... shadow?

Bring in the Light please

This is my role model for treating plantar fasciitis.

Rock back and forth gently, heel to toe, while waiting for a bus or a good idea to arrive.

Gone after 2 months.

The foot has 30 bones, according to several websites: 14 phalages, 7 tarsals, 5 metatarsals and 2 sesamoids

Not to mention 30 joints and 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments.

It's complicated, like everything else.

My story starts here...
