Congratulations Makkal! You are the proud new owner of a torn
rotator cuff!
Yes, I started surfing again and tried my luck with some
fifteen foot waves. Not only did I wipe out several times, I’ve managed to partially
tear a tendon in my right shoulder. Of course, after I did that, I popped some
extra strength pain killers, hauled some material, hung out with friends, and
then went on a patrol.
Only after I climbed out of the pod 14 hours later and tried
to wash my hair did I realize I was seriously hurt.
The nurse at HQ gave me a painkiller and anti-inflammatory
and told me to not use my shoulder much. After it heals, they want me to do
some physical therapy designed to help
strengthen the area.
I told the guy that I thought the problem was that Ishukone
brand arms are heavier than what my original body was used to, but he assured
me it was because I’d caused ‘acute trauma’
to the area.
Not that I’d expect an Ishukone citizen raised in an
Ishukone station educated in an Ishukone medical school and working for IRED to
think the arms might be at fault.
