Jebus, some guys got all the luck. I recently snapped my arm in half(literally in half , no jokin'), just below the shoulder & dislocated said shoulder at the same time in a banister-sliding stunt gone awry. My physical therapist was a middle-aged man of few words. Basically, he would give me some exercises or hook up some electrodes & leave, returning only at the end of the session.
The only upside, I guess would be, that being Canadian, it didn't cost a dime -- & that my therapist didn't touch me... that wouldn't have been so "nice".
on the down-side, I have yet to find a way for MSI to pay for sex...
I don't think anyone truly "deserves" a 30% loss of mobilty in one's arm just for a harmless stunt (ok, not exactly "harmless", & perhaps "stunt" is the wrong word)... particularly if you're a guitar player.
I'm probably just testy since the band I was in at the time fired me because they figured I'd "hold them back" while I recuperated & went through therapy for 2 months. Nice guys...
...Anyway, I'm new to your site(via the Decembrist), but I like what I see. Truck on.
Yeah, it's nice to be touched. Beyond nice, though, I'm convinced it's a basic human psychological need. We're oh so recently separated from other apes, who maintain peaceful social structures largely through reciprocal grooming.
This reminds me of a conversation making the rounds at a party I went to a year or so back: "If you had to have sex with some animal, other than a fellow human, which animal would it be?"
Ogged was a very popular answer for straight guys.
Reminds me of the first time I went to a 'salon' instead of a barber. I got tipped back, shampooed, and then a scalp massage. It was all sweet until the bill.

Hope you feel better, but boy did you get just what you deserved.

Ouch. Insult to injury.

...just sayin', is all...

Oh man, I was just kidding raff. That "banister-sliding stunt gone awry" was so understated, I couldn't let it be. I do hope you're better soon.

No worries... I didn't mean to be harsh.
I'm probably just testy since the band I was in at the time fired me because they figured I'd "hold them back" while I recuperated & went through therapy for 2 months. Nice guys...

You might find us a bit lowbrow, coming from the Decembrist. But he'll never take the time to offend you personally.

Wait, I thought that you paid prostitutes, not for the sex, but to leave once it was over with.

Adam, famous folks pay them to leave, the rest of us pay them to stay a while.
