Tendon Damage
Posted: Tue Feb 11, 2014 9:54 pm
So, a few weeks back I got tossed around in the turbulence and hung on to my board despite the ocean's best efforts to separate us.
Massive pain in my left forearm.
Finally went to the doc who sent me for ultrasound.
It seems I've torn the tendon from the bone.
Operator asked me how much less force I could apply in my left arm. I reckoned it was no different to the right so she tested them (more about that below) and agreed. She reckons all the muscles are compensating and they must be in pretty good condition to do that.
I'm booked to see my doc next Monday but it seems likely we'll just leave it as it is.
I can still grip things, lift things and flex my arm, with just a bit of discomfort.
Now, more importantly, the ultrasound operator was HOT.
Blonde, maybe 30 -35. Blouse undone just enough to see a bit of the swell of her left breast.
When she tested the strength in my arm, she put my hand down on her thigh with her hand on top of mine and told me to push. I pushed down. No, she said, push against my hand.
So I did.
I wonder if I lost my negatives she'd have to do it again?
I had naughty thoughts.
