gah, injury

[leere_form]

okay, so i got my shoulder fucked up today in judo. the guy i was playing with threw me with a side-sacrifice throw just as i was coming in for a hip throw, which landed me hard directly on my right shoulder. usually i fall pretty safely, but i was too committed to turn out of it

Ugh... I get over an injury just in time for you to get hurt. That sucks man, and I wish you a speedy recovery, just remember the two "I"s of injury recovery:

- Ice
- Ibuprophen

They're there to reduce swelling and soft tissue damage, which is the slowest part of any injury to heal (broadly speaking).

heh, i have indeed been using both "I"s in abundance.. thanks for the well-wishing!

No problemo!

Oh, and elevate when possible... may not be an "I" and may be kinda redundant with a shoulder, but just don't, uh... like... uh... sleep hanging upside down or anything. Just make sure that shoulder is above heart level.
