SMASHUP

I got to walk Franklin alone this morning. We usually all go together on Sunday but John had some chores.

Out on the end of Palo Fierro, Franklin took a left turn without telling me. There were those two nasty dogs who bark at him every week and their window was open for once. He went running for a face to face.

I was doping off and got pulled in his direction, tripped on the curb and fell left side down on the grass. My sunglass even flew off.

In good Franklin fashion he was immediately at my side wondering what happened.

I was pretty much wondering the same thing.

It knocked the wind out of me.

I got up slowly, checking body parts. Nothing broken. Nothing coming apart. No blood.

I got myself together and finished the rest of the walk pretty well.

As time went on, the left shoulder, most of it, began to complain loudly. It is kinda bunged up.

RICE

Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation.

So far it is ice and aspirin. It is already elevated and I am not sure how I would compress it.

I have movement all around but it is not pain free.

I am giving it some time.

No sling—yet.

I will consider going for advice if it gets worse but right now it is sort of under control.

We shall see what we shall see.
