Thpt.

As a few people have heard, late Friday afternoon I took a bad step on a rock as I was trying to take a picture by Lake Tahoe and went for a slide. A call to 911 and an ambulance later, it was determined I'd dislocated my right shoulder. Getting that taken care of wasn't a problem--but being told that I had to keep my right shoulder immobile for a few days ("about a week") was. See, I have a manual transmission car. Driving one-handed would be difficult with automatic transmission, but impossible with a stick shift.

Fortunately, as far as such things go, Dusty Rancourt and Talisantia are staying in Folsom, about 90 minutes away. They took me back to their place for the night, with Tali driving my car, and they'll be ferrying me down to Tugrik's place a bit later today.

More later, when I can type in a slightly less awkward fashion. (Albeit only slightly, I suspect.) For the record, the inconvenience is more annoying than anything else--including the loss of my glasses.

I'm not quite sure to say. I'm very relived you're going to be okay though, but you should already know that. You're very lucky you were in a mobile phone "lit" area, but you should should already know that, too.

A little ASCII smilie can convey my relief, so I'll spare you one, this time.

What A bummer. I'm glad you'r ok. But, you are on an adventure. Maybe this was god's way of saying slow down and sight see a little.

Take care. If I'd know you were moving. Tacit did not tell me. I would have had a going away party for you. Maybe we can do that one day you come back to visit.

Anyway, be careful.
