State of the CJ

I'm behind on a lot of stuff. Quick update.

1. The orthopedic person moved a bunch of stuff around, determined (as best I can tell) that all my muscles are technically speaking still attached at both ends, noted that I'm quite weak in that arm in various directions, noted that yeah my collarbone is SO not where it belongs, and hinted that it's possible there isn't much to be done. ("We don't repair those unless it's a posterior displacement. It's thoracic surgery." Yeah, say no more. "We usually don't repair a torn labrum in anybody over forty." Gee, thanks, just shoot me now.) She's sending me for an MRI to see what's actually going on. But that'll be delayed a bit, because

2. Work is busy and soon I'll be going to Pittsburgh for a week. YAY travel during covid, ugh. I will be super careful and I will test before returning so as to give myself a chance of detecting the "infectious person gets on transcontinental aircraft" case.

3. Rob had eye surgery yesterday. It's so cool. Also disgusting, but hey. Now he can see. On that side.

Back to work for me. Be good to each other, folks.
