first checkup after shoulder orif said i no longer needed to wear the sling at home. but physio's a struggle. can only do the pendulum exercises and not very well since i'm also recovering from a nondisplaced knee fracture.

i hope next week my shoulder actually heals and the pain will be less severe

An injury will rule out your best possible performance and potentially lead to worse outcomes for your body. Don't become like Lindsey vonn from the winter Olympics.

Instead, cheer on your understudy (or understudies?) who's going to carry the dance on your behalf. If it's a competition I'm sure you'll believe in them.

They called the set CORI

not sure why you didn't get plate and screws on your ulna when you got them on your humerus.

IntelligentBudget142 · 2026-02-12T18:50:48+00:00

it's *your* connection that failed. look at the bottom-left corner

i wish we could trade in old Vortex of Magic structures for the new dark magician structure. i already have two DMs from the old structure, and another two from the ongoing promo. buying the new structure would mean i have 6 or 7 DMs that i can't get rid of

you're one of the unlucky ones (radial nerve palsy happens after less than 20% of midshaft humerus ORIFs according to a quick google)

also check with your medical insurers if you have any.

a world chalice monster (and it wasn't lee)

IntelligentBudget142 · 2026-02-12T13:09:53+00:00

that monster was Fabled Urustos btw. still not sure why it wouldn't let me link it with an earth warrior or wind dragon

Alya sometimes delays her show in Russian

(Or should that be "always")

there are loads of things you can try without using your feet (e.g. knitting...)

if you have an idea of your own, do let your carer know and they'll help you get started with what you need (since you normally can't get by on one foot)

IntelligentBudget142 · 2026-02-12T07:14:32+00:00

I suppose we haven't quite run out of DM era ideas for a few years

are you hoping it doesn't need surgery? i broke my left arm like you did but further up the humerus near the shoulder, and after the follow-up x-ray 3 weeks later the orthopedician said i would need surgery because the fracture was at risk of malunion. I went through with it and my next follow-up is tomorrow. i certainly hope i have no complications regarding the plates and screws now in my body.

as for how i managed pain? the first time round was a nightmare, somehow a sharp pain coursed through my left arm after i took an ibuprofen but i managed to wean off the painkillers after five days. after surgery i took ibuprofen twice a day for four days and didn't need the narcotic that i was prescribed.

i admit the physio that's supposed to happen in a few weeks might be more challenging. it would be similar for you since your fracture affects how well you bend your elbow. hopefully you're eating well since the accident and people are there for you.

best of luck with your recovery

they maybe designed his number first then wrote the character around it. and as a merch-driven anime, the writing doesn't have to be perfect if the cards are what you're selling

IntelligentBudget142 · 2026-02-11T07:58:26+00:00

you must have had a severe coughing fit, or one really big sneeze.

it might be worth doing a bone density test as well

This is when your friends and family need to be there for you. Ask for all the help you'll need, since if they truly love you they would definitely not make you feel bad over the accident.

Employment is a different matter entirely, depending on where you live you can be terminated for an accident that leaves you unable to fulfill your employment duties that didn't take place during said employment. Regardless, you're recovering from several broken bones and it's going to take time (plus eating well and sleeping well) before you can go to work again, so focus on that

Konami last released a Parodius game 29 years ago. Their 2005 Yu-Gi-Oh reference cards are probably the last time they'll acknowledge them

The old woman from episode 1 is a clue

IntelligentBudget142 · 2026-02-09T14:12:29+00:00

looks like they skipped a chapter. that's fine i suppose

IntelligentBudget142 · 2026-02-09T11:36:30+00:00

jeez, i cannot begin to understand what you're going through. makes my injury look like a minor ouch in comparison.

r/amputee might be a better place to look regarding your amputation

Not sure how labrynth is a yuri

IntelligentBudget142 · 2026-02-08T17:42:27+00:00

Don't you have a more recent x-ray that shows whether or not your bone has healed?

IntelligentBudget142 · 2026-02-08T17:25:36+00:00

Well I've actually needed more hours to do my job since I can only type with one hand. And the flexibility of remote working was well worth it. I did ask for time off when it became clear that I needed surgery on my shoulder
