What's Going On In Our Lives

[Pyrotex]

Howdy fellow Hypografs!

In case I should disappear from these hallowed halls for a while, I want you to know what's going on. A few years ago, I tore my left rotator cuff, an important muscle/tendon in the shoulder.

 

Next Thursday, July 27, I will have surgery to repair my shoulder. This will require about 6 to 8 weeks of having my left arm immobile. Since I don't walk, this means I have to check into a full care facility until such time as the surgery heals and I can start using the arm. I can't guarantee that I will have internet access while in the "nursing home". But I will be thinking about all of you.

Wow man,

I really hope all that works out smoothly-

 

How did you rip that thing, anyway?

 

Make the most of your time in there . .

 

Honestly, 6 to 8 weeks in a "nursing home" sounds absolutely insane.

 

Always looking for more,

p.s. I doubt you read it,

but a few months ago I posted a dream in the dream thread in the lounge.

I had a seriously symbolic dream, where everything was alluding to what's going on in my life,

and You dropped from a tree.

You were crying, sitting there on the ground.

I informed you that we were dreaming,

that we can do anything.

You stood right up,

did a little shuffle with your legs,

and took off into the sky.

 

zoooooooooooom.

 

And I know it was you because I just did,

dreams are weird like that.

[TheFaithfulStone]

Seriously, Orb.

 

You are an artist of the word.

Wow man,

:lol: thanks! I really appreciate that.

 

I suspect that 40 years of pushing wheelchairs through gravel, grass and carpets wore out my r.cuff. Then a few years ago, while getting in my van, while hopping from my chair to the driver's seat, I "missed" and fell forward. Caught myself on my left elbow. Felt a "paper tearing" sensation in my left shoulder. Hurt like hell. Then faded to soreness, which never went away.

[TheFaithfulStone]

Best of luck Pyro.

 

Remember to post in Space Voyage before you leave! :eek2:

Pyrotex Update

 

I used the invasive power of the internet to locate Pyrotex and give him a call today. He is recovering from his surgery and should be returning home on the 16th. Aside from startling the man while he was trying to eat his lunch he is in pretty good spirits, and asked me to say hello to everyone.

 

So, from Pyro, to me to everyone... HELLO Hypography!

 

Bill

[Jay-qu]

Thats great to hear that he is doing well and be back to us soon :Alien:

[Tormod]

So, from Pyro, to me to everyone... HELLO Hypography!

 

Now that you know where he is...can you send him some flowers or something... :) He's much missed.

[Boerseun]

Yeah - that was quite clever move, Bill. If you speak to him again anytime soon, tell him I say hi and all of the best!:)

[Chacmool]

Thanks for the update, BigDog! Pyrotex is certainly missed around these parts, and it's good to know that he is doing well.

[Jay-qu]

Flowers are ok.. but are they a Pyro sort of thing?

 

What about one of Turtles Prints, that would lighten up the room even more, and it wouldnt wilt and die in a few days! Im prepared to chip in :)

[ughaibu]

Send him a stripping nun.

[Racoon]

Flowers are ok.. but are they a Pyro sort of thing?

 

:hihi:

 

Nah, my guess would be to send him a bottle of 16-year-old, the latest issue of Astronomy, along with a nice get well soon card.

 

Get Well Soon Pyrotex! :D

 

I did a very detailed report on the Rotator Cuff last fall.

And as Pyro alluded to, his condition was a result of everyday wear and tear.

 

The rotator a grouping of 4 muscles, and further stabilized by glenohumeral ligaments both anteriorly and inferiorly.

 

Due to its anatomical design, its frequently injured.. Imagine the glenohumeral joint like a golf ball sitting on a tee, and how unstable that is. :eek:

 

The muscles comprising the rotator are the Infraspinatus, Supraspinatus, Teres minor, and Subscapularis... The Supraspinatus is the most often muscle torn due to sub-acromial impingement as it originates in the supraspinatus fossa and inserts superiorly on the greater tubercle of the Humerus and is heavily involved with abduction movements.

(guess I learned something after all :confused: )

 

We'll wait for Pyro's return for a more detailed account.

Best wishes Pyrotex. This place ain't the same without you...

Ah...but of course. Is there some sort of whisky-o-gram anywhere??? :confused:

Excellent idea! Count me in!
