Schadenfreude Day
Today's Schadenfreude:
www.nbcnews.com/health/mens-health/rfk-jr-rotator-cuff-injury-treatment-shoulder-surgery-pain-what-know-rcna262741
RFK had to have rotator cuff surgery, the same kind I had a few years ago that turned my life into a misery for months and months. It's not a surprise, really. That video of him making an exercise ass of himself was almost certainly a strain on him. He's 72. Also keep in mind that video took many, many takes, so the exercise we see on screen is only a fraction of what actually happened. I don't know that his cuff was torn during the video, but it seems likely.
Anyway, he's in a sling. He claims he'll be back at work next week.
Ho ho ho.
It was three weeks before I was able to function well enough to work, and even then I was still on powerful painkillers. Everyone is different, of course, but if he's full-bore at work in only two weeks, I'll have to call it miracle--or everyone in the office is doing the job for him.
Cuff surgery is fucking painful, and when it isn't painful, it's uncomfortable. And when it isn't uncomfortable, it's inconvenient. He's in for a rough time.
I'm glad.
