I see Shades of Black, and Purple Too o/~
Alright. Here it is, four days after the wreck. I decided I’d better take some pictures of it. Doubt I’ll need it for any legal reasons, but I also never want to have to go through this again, and looking at the pictures will remind me that yes, it did happen and I’ve been given a second chance.
I also got a fresh reminder of the pain, this morning, as I woke up outside of the 8-hour window for my pain meds, and yes, Virginia, there is pain on my left side. Yow. 
Funny thing is, I hurt behind my right shoulder blade now, likely due to compensating for not using my left shoulder and arm too much.
All things said, though, it could have been so much worse, and I am hopeful that once a couple of weeks to a month passes, I can slowly start building my strength back up. I’m just going to have to listen to my body and keep reading as much research on injury rehabilitation and PT as possible. Sadly, I can’t afford to go to PT myself, so this is something I have to be extra careful with.
So, how’s it look? Warning: Not pretty, my dears. Look at your own risk. (Pictures taken 4 days after wreck.)
Glad to be here, dear readers. And wishing you a safe and happy Holiday season. xx

It has been painful, but things are healing up, I can tell already. Thank goodness. Another two weeks or so, and I might even get to start strength training.
