Update on the injury

I went to the orthopedic surgeon today and he told me, after looking at the x-rays, that he thought I probably won't have to have a pin put in the shoulder or undergo any type of surgery. This makes me very happy. I got to replace my velcro immobilizer with a more traditional and functional arm sling. The good doc also said that in a couple weeks we'll check on the progress of the healing and then in about a month start some physical therapy. He did mention that there may be some permanent mobility issues with that arm, and while I now must give up my lifelong dream of playing in the NBA, I am glad that I can start driving and return to work next week.

Special thanks to all of you who left blog messages, phoned, emailed or simply sent thoughts and prayers my way.

On another note, I posted my first review on my new site. I have decided to try video blogging for this one - at least from time to time. I talk too long on it and played with effects to no visible advantage, but it was fun to try and do something a bit more off the cuff.
