Embarrassing iPad injury

cheeseburgergothic.substack.com

So, I had this cold that sat me on my arse for a couple of weeks. Nothing Coviddy, just a plain old vanilla flavoured rhinovirus that really did a number on me. Probably because of last year’s lung surgery. (I imagine Ms Rona, if and when we finally meet, will be quite sporty.)

Anyway, after a fortnight of getting munted by this thing I thought bugger this, Imma have a day on the couch, lots of cups of tea, and see if that helps.

It did, a little. But I made the mistake of doom-scrolling Ukraine all day. More than ten hours on my iPad Pro. The big one.

The next morning I could barely raise my arm. I’d apparently done some slow, ugly strain to my tendon. Three weeks later it was still bugging the shit out of me.

I finally got some relief when a chiro grabbed a hold of a nerve bundle in my arm pit and gave it a tweak. Removed about 90% of the pain.

Note to self. Don’t do that again.
