#shoulder

0 posts0 participants0 posts today
This is a large scalemail pauldron. It hangs off one shoulder while wrapping under the opposite arm for support. It is composed of anodized aluminum scales, starting with uncolored scales with black trim at the top, then changing to fully black scales partway down. The scales are attached to a strip of chainmail which holds the piece to the body. #chainmail #chainmaille #scalemail #armor #maker #crafts #aluminum #pauldron #shoulder

“AHS pays $4,833 for a #shoulder replacement, while private facilities under ASI were negotiating rates as high as $11,243,” the union representing paramedics and other health care professionals said, citing the Globe report. “Similar overcharges exist for #hip and #knee #replacements, with #private #health #providers consistently charging over twice what it costs #AHS to perform the same procedures.”

1976 Don't ask me why I smoke.

The image is a vintage photograph of a man with a mustache and shoulder-length hair, wearing a patterned shirt.
He has a serious expression on his face.
There is a text overlay on the image that reads "DON'T ASK ME WHY I SMOKE."

The doc was so nice. He said it sounds like it may have slipped out of the socket and some folks are flexible and double jointed (that’s me) so it can sometimes go back in without damaging anything… x-ray was clear. I took an mri later this evening, so, we’ll see what they find. Sounds like he may prescribe PT. He wanted to see the mri results first though. #healthUpdate #shoulder

"For one hundred and ten long years, this body has had to #shoulder the burden of my brain. I wonder how long the next one will last."

"It's still experimental, of course, but our research indicates at least two centuries. Please, lie down here and try to relax."

"Will it hurt?"

"No." It had the sound of a lie.

"Well, it can't hurt more than I already do. How long will it take?"

"Not long. This may be a little cold." It was.

Darkness. A pinprick of light.
