That sounds good too!

Can be a bit isolated at times but it works just great for me.  

Montfrooij Posted at 1-29 08:42
Yeah, so what is next?
After they remove the casting?

Cast is on the broken arm.  To allow the clavicle to heal properly I only wear a sling on the arm closest to the broken clavicle.  At least I get the arm cast off tomorrow.

I'm guessing you did choose this location on purpose?

Check. I see.
Hope that will heal somewhat quickly.

Awesome footage!

Indeed I did.  Once I knew I was going to sale my home on land I started scouting for acreage that had access to the ocean and took a while but I finally found exactly what I was looking for.  It's inland enough to be safe from tide surge, etc. but still close enough to be in the deep ocean water within 30 minutes.

I have xrays tomorrow to let me know how the clavicle is healing so I'm hoping for the best.

Sounds like a nice place!

Hey Peter! Cool impressions and nice footage. I think you composed the music yourself? Beautiful…

Montfrooij Posted at 1-30 23:51

It's my little slice of paradise Peter.  

Montfrooij Posted at 1-30 23:51
Fingers crossed!

Can't wait to get the cast off today.  Also, important to make sure the collar bone is healing properly.

Looks like it.
I've only been to the US once. Around Atlanta. It was an interesting experience.

The US has it's own unique features for sure.  Some foreign visitors like it and others loathe it.  After visiting 64 different countries I can say that I'm proud to be from the USA.  However, that doesn't mean that there isn't tons of room for improvement here.

Montfrooij Posted at 1-31 05:00

I'll try to remember to let you know the results later today.

There is a lot to like there.
There should only be a law against Mr T ever speaking in public again.
(plus some serious things that I feel could be improved, but if you live anywhere, you get used to it probably)

DowntownRDB Posted at 1-31 05:25

I'll ask if you forget

There is no getting used to hearing Mr T babble one lie after another.  Hopefully, all those pending charges will put an end to his run in 2024.  I also wish the media would not sensationalize everything the way they do nowadays.  Report it and move on.

Good news - cast is off and no more itching.

Great news - xrays show arm healed properly and collarbone is perfectly aligned and healing properly.  At least 4 more weeks of light duty.  

Montfrooij Posted at 2-1 03:56
And and and?

Cast is gone and collarbone is healing properly.     

I'm a happy camper.  Of course, will be much happier when I can get back to swimming and diving.  Have to wait 4 more weeks and get another xray before he will release me back to full duty.

Very true!

Some days I just turn the news off as it is just too much gloom and doom to put up with.  

Montfrooij Posted at 2-1 08:07
That is superb!

Needless to say I was a "happy camper" to get the news from the Doctor.  (Happy camper is probably another American slang saying but it means one who is thoroughly content or satisfied).

Montfrooij Posted at 2-1 08:07

Happy for you!

Many thanks Peter.

I have to admit, I only read headlines these days.

I can understand and I use that term too (probably borrowed from TV or something).

DowntownRDB Posted at 2-1 11:56
Many thanks Peter.

You're welcome. Hope the collarbone will heal quickly too.

Montfrooij Posted at 2-2 00:33
You're welcome. Hope the collarbone will heal quickly too.

Thanks for the well wishes Peter.  I'm still babying the shoulder in hopes of helping it heal better and sooner.  I'll admit though it will be nice to have full use of that shoulder once again.

Maybe that is what I need to start doing.  I try to look at things in a more positive way and all that media gloom and doom just brings me down.

Yes, anything that helps is good.
I'm no expert in this scenario, but I'm sure that there is a best practice (rest vs using)

DowntownRDB Posted at 2-2 03:54
Maybe that is what I need to start doing.  I try to look at things in a more positive way and all that media gloom and doom just brings me down.

Exactly my point.
I don't want to be worrying too much about stuff that is way out of my sphere of influence anyway.

Montfrooij Posted at 2-2 04:13

Yeah, the Doctor gave me a long list of do nots and a short list of does in the meantime.  He said he will send me to physical therapy when the time comes.  So in the meantime just rest and recuperate.  

Montfrooij Posted at 2-2 04:14

Not only out of my sphere of influence but definitely out of my control.  I just wish they would focus more on the great things going on and much less on the negative stuff.

I totally agree.
