We are in Zurich. None of assaulted the parents of a 5 yr old boy whose parents obligingly entertained him rather than scolding him to be quiet while everyone else tried to sleep. It's raining. Of all languages I wound up using Polish to find an ATM... klar.

I'm beginning to think the fun never stops ( Read more... )

It's been busy, in case the lack of posting didn't give that away. I'm out of PT and mostly feeling better ( Read more... )

Rode Grumbles with new headlight bulbs (vast improvement). It was friggin' cold last night. Went to dojo this morning. It was fun. Went grocery shopping all over. It was tedious. Made dinner. It was unappreciated. Did some painting. It's unfinished. Did dishes and laundry. More tedium. Bedtime already; Snowflake's reminding me.

So, I'm back to work. I'm supposed to be on light duty, working at a reduced pace and limited to eight hours. My doctor keeps submitting forms but it's like a merry go round. What's really happening is that the postmaster is ignoring all the work restrictions and treating me as if I were at 100%. Today, I was given an additional half hour of work ( Read more... )

The PT moved my first rib. How? Well, he braced me, then shoved down through the trapezius, behind the collarbone, three times, until the rib was where it ought to be. I should mention it hurt like fuck. Then they electrocuted my hip, which was fine, and I even got a massage. But my shoulder still feels bruised on the inside (which it is ( Read more... )

Since my doctor sent me home, I've mostly been bored. After all, I can't ride, fight, fling myself down mountains or even carry excessively heavy items. I've read continuously, of course, but there's nothing I want to write. So I've cleaned, organized, duffed around at the stable and watched some disks I have ( Read more... )

I've mostly done small busy work the past few days just to keep from imploding in boredom. Some of us never grow out of experiencing instant boredom the moment we lack something to do. So I soaked and cleaned the balls of clay, then discarded the silt. I rearranged my desk and watched anime. I've done the state taxes, a chore since I can't save or ( Read more... )

Today was interesting because I had to go back to work yesterday since I can only call out for two days without doctor authorization. That meant, I worked with two injured joints, the regular job, not some form of light duty. The supervisor had me deliver an easier route, in that it was shorter than mine. But, it was still a ten hour day ( Read more... )

So, I took my doctor's restriction notice to work yesterday. For the record, it forbade me from prolonged standing, bending or lifting more than five pounds. Since my entire job consists of standing, walking, bending and lifting, the note should have said, "stay home". But the doctor didn't know any better and sent me to work, believing I could be ( Read more... )
