pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole multi colored collection of uppers, downers, laughers, screamers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge, and I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon.

Well, this be the update on my current condition. I'm currently sitting on my folks' couch surfing the innerweb in between passing out due to the drug cocktail coursing through my veins. Somewhere amongst the normal amount of drugs, there's a heightened amount of either dilaudid, sedatives, percocets, and/or vicodins. No worries, folks, its' all doctors orders... really this time!

My discombubulated shoulder aside, here's the skinny on the whole day's adventures. I'm hoping I can stay conscience long enough to get a complete thought out.

Sunday evening my shoulder popped. Its all been well-documented on my blog. There's a link in the profile I believe for those of you interested. I'm gonna see if I can photo the MRI's or Xrays for posterity's sake...

Woke up early this AM to go to church. A little too early. Went back to sleep, and when the alarm went off i reached across and this time severely dislocated my shoulder. So bad i called 911 and took a little ride...

Few things:

1. There is a shortage of hot nurses. But the one that did my IV's... @40 and smoking hot.... Dad thought so, too.

2. Dilaudid (sic?) is the SHIT! Within seconds i was tripping. I still hurt like hell, but i didnt care. Of course, HST was being quoted... "Buy the ticket, take the ride." "Devil Ether!"

3. They knocked me out with IV sedative to reset the joint. I didn't feel a thing but accdng to dad, it took them a lotta effort.

4. Surgery is almost 100% going to happen. When is the question. Appt tomorrow at 8:45 am to discuss.

5. Active cooking on the line on indefinite hiatus. Can't swing a pan properly. Cant swing a pan properly, then need to pursue new career path I guess

for at least the foreseeable future.

6. Until further notice, in a sling....

All in all... bummer. Carry on, Punks!

I can just picture what I would be doing in your case: Sitting on the couch with a massive stack of wicked movies, tons of video games (might be too uncomfortable to play with one arm in a sling though) and two MASSIVE bowls sitting on either side of me, one full of a variety legally-perscribed, multi-coloured happy pills and the other full of hot fudge sundae with all the toppings.

multidirectional shoulder instability. doc said that after a really traumatic pop, simply reaching for something could pop it out without warning. Sucks, eh? Wish i had a cool story like "This dude in the bar hit this girl, so i wailed on him and dislocated my shoulder, y'know?"

**The Monsignor** · 03-02-2006, 11:40 PM

I'd be willing to loan out my Mexican Jail story for the cause, dude... just lemme know!

**omisan** · 03-03-2006, 01:15 AM

Dude, that sucks!!! Here's to a speedy recovery and plenty of happy pills.

Do you at least get medical leave from work?

**Joker** · 03-03-2006, 04:20 AM

Hah, yeah, Omi. Medical leave as in when I get back I'll have a job but I sure as hell ain't getting paid for it!

AS for Mexican jails, Will, you may need that one, but thanks anyway! :D

That sucks man, im enjoying all my meds right now too.
I got 30 vicodins right now for a barfight I got into last weekend at mardigras.
First off when I hit the guy, I shattered my pinky knuckle on my left hand(makes it a bitch to type), the fat bastard I hit then turned and threw a glass at my arm shattering, and implanting a ton shattered glass into my left forearm. Thus releasing a torrent of blood from a rather drunk me. So an arm cast and bucket of dermabond later, Im enjoying my legal drug high.... Thouhgt i would let you someone else out there is feeling some pain tooo.

**The Monsignor** · 03-05-2006, 12:05 AM

Sounds like my Mardi Gras experience... I walked into a barfight... 13 stitches in my upper lip later, I have a permanent souvenier!

**Joker** · 03-05-2006, 12:21 AM

Amazingly, I've never been more than a black eye or a cut-up hand from the bar fights I've wandered into. But then again, I've inflicted a fair amount of damage. You guys would be amazed how many pieces a 22 oz beer glass from a TGI Fridays breaks into. (Cops kicked everyone out and shut the place down at 11:30 at night on a Saturday... wasn't our fault, swear!!)

**kingcrazylegs** · 03-05-2006, 11:04 AM

I dislocated my sholder about 15 years ago playing soccer, and it was certainly one of the more painful experiences in my life. I feel for ya dude. It still gives me trouble now and again. Hope all goes well.

**beergal** · 03-05-2006, 11:16 AM

and here i was thinking it was a proper drug story like the one my friend had when she got so high on coke she fell over and smashed her 2 front teeth in!

apc811 · 03-06-2006, 09:56 AM

well, guys I just got back from the doc.. he removed my arm brace and it looks like a mine field of all the little lacerations from the glass. The smell is horrible, but atleast I got the half-cast off. The end of my week off from work has come to a close at least for now. Tonight Im off to the Rodeo we will see what happens!!!!!

later

**bluepea** · 03-06-2006, 01:52 PM

What the hell? Is this Tpunk injury week or what? I just broke my damn ankle. Not going to hijack your post though. Sorry to hear about your job being on the line. Isn't it amazing how much panic you go through and yet there's nothing you can do after the fact?
