Why I am a cranky motherfucker

footfootfoot · 03-05-2009, 04:08 PM

Why am I so cranky today?
Well, if it were 20,000 years ago I’d be a puma snack I’m sure.

Last year I tore my rotator cuff and in the space of four weeks I re-injured it about five more times. I stopped counting when it became what seemed like an everyday habit.

Since I don’t have health insurance and I can’t afford to have it fixed, I’ve learned to live for the most part without much strength or mobility in my dominant arm. I looked at this as a good time to switch careers from construction back to photography.

There are still a few unfinished things in the house from our big construction project of a few years ago and I’ve been chipping away at them slowly. Yesterday I was moving some drywall and, favoring my bad shoulder, managed to partially tear my remaining good shoulder.

Fun!

Now I can’t even put a shirt on by my self.

So what's your position on national healthcare?

It'll never happen in this country. You've got a better chance of seeing a schvartze elected presid- umm, never mind.

This guy is my brother in law, he's fighting the good fight:

I'd be cranky too.

Can you at least still hold a camera?

Yeah, but the question is can I hold it still?

Should have added that I feel for you foot. I tore my rotater when I started learning to play upright bass. But mine cleared up after nine months or so.

Pardon my asking, but how old are you? You might want to start looking for a job that includes health care.

I can tell he's never had to deal with a HMO, or he'd know 1 & 2 are gone.

holy fucking eyebrows!

Aliantha · 03-05-2009, 05:20 PM

I'm not sorry about ur shoulder.

(I am actually, but I'm trying to be funny)

Cloud · 03-05-2009, 06:59 PM

ouch. or a job that doesn't include shoulder rotating!

DanaC · 03-05-2009, 07:11 PM

Ouch Foot. That's horrible. You have my sympathy.

HungLikeJesus · 03-05-2009, 07:14 PM

I guess that's going to seriously limit your ass-kicking abilities, which explains this.

footfootfoot · 03-05-2009, 08:15 PM

Ed Zachary! and for the record I am 48, but my shoulders are like 197.

@ Dar, I have been self employed for, oh going on 25 years. I'm not even sure I'd know how to work for someone else.

"Time clock? Don't all clocks tell time? Is this some sort of web 2.0 stuff?" It seems grim at best.
