I’ve received four scam emails in the last week. Here’s one for your amusement/edification:

...on the "fun" I've been having, that's partly the reason I haven't updated for quite a while. (At least that's my excuse.)

After eight years of increasing pain in my left shoulder from what seemed to be tendonitis from an injury when I was still working, I finally got an MRI last week. It turns out there's a tear in one of the four muscles that make up the rotator cuff. (Surprise!) At least it doesn't go all the way through, or I might not be using that arm at all, instead of mostly just having a lot of pain after the fact. ("Why the hell did I do that...two days ago?")

I'll be seeing an orthopaedist this afternoon. I might need surgery (eeek!), but it would sure be nice not to have to live with this anymore.

For sarx_phagos, who requested "something cheap and tawdry...with exposed phallus."
