You lazy slob stay home and take as long as you need...the full Monty, to recoup. Your health is definitely, without doubt, hands down bar none the most important thing. I took a fall down a flight of stairs taking out the garbage, my arm going through the banisters balustrades on the way down, garbage bags flying all over the place. Guess I was shock but believe or not, my main concern was, did the garbage spill out of the bagsjeez, Id hate to pick up after that, the injury was painful enough to go to the hospital to get x-rays taken. The doctor in attendance says, no breaks or fractures, I take a few days off work then go back shoulder feeling sprained. Thought maybe I can work the kinks out using work as exercise. 3 weeks into the injury and my job, my primary care doctor insists I get an MRI. I do, fractured shoulder and a torn rotator cup shows up. But arm was feeling better at that point. The fracture had healed on its own and although the rotator cup doesnt bother me, I forget when embroiled in my work but a sudden move instantly reminds me that the rotator cup is still torn. Moral of the story, just because you feel a 100% doesnt mean you are. Take as long as possible to fully recoup.
