We are on a break!
Remember back in the day when Ross and Rachel were dating on the tv show “Friends?” Remember when things weren’t going so well for them and Rachel told Ross they should take a break? Remember when Ross took advantage of those words to sleazily hook up the cute girl from the Xerox copy shop?
This is nothing like that at all!
After more than five years of cortisone shots, I decided to have surgery on my left arm. That occurred yesterday. Supposedly, I won’t be able to move my arm for at least a week. Then it moves into a sling; followed up by a few months of rehab exercises. I know each person and each situation is different, but everyone I know who has had this rotator cuff/bicep procedure vouches for all of this. Wonderful! F’ing Wonderful!
So, here’s my thinking…it’s hard enough to write, type and edit this with two working hands; I can only imagine what it would be like with one. Instead of spending hours trying to do it, I’m going to be like Ross and Rachel. I’m going to take a break.
For at least a month, I’m going to avoid laptops, iPhone apps and notebooks. No writing! I’ll try to focus on the recovery process.
That’s my news. Nothing too earthshaking. Gone in March; returning sometime in April. I wanted to let you know in case you missed me and were wondering where I went. Now you know.
That’s all for now. Stay safe out there. See you on the other side of March.
Oh by the way…were Ross and Rachel really on a break?
