officially two-elbowed again!

[cimorene]

I went back to the ER today, according to what I thought were the directions of the previous ER doctor, but then, his English was pretty bad, so I might be wrong. I already knew that the hairline fracture in my left elbow was healing quite well because of the fact that it hasn't been too painful.

A different doctor was impressed by the range of motion and strength I have back already in the wrist - I didn't actually tell him about the quantity of illicit typing I've done in the past three weeks via contorting myself into a variety of ridiculous positions to put my keyboard within a foot of my neck, but I think it's probably been good PT as the original doctor emphasized the importance of using the hand and fingers constantly while the elbow was immobilized. So I am now entirely sling-free, and have been told to bend my arm a lot, and that I should gradually regain the ability to straighten my arm all the way out, but probably not for at least two or three weeks. It is still a little tender at times, so I am probably going to be trying to be cautious about the amount of typing that I do at first, but right now I'm just deliriously happy to have the sling gone.

(I already went back through all my last 3 weeks' delicious bookmarks, looking for the ones I left partially or wholly untagged because I didn't want to type at the time. It wasn't even a whole 100 bookmarks, yet I feel like I've read the entirety of the Captain America/Ironman AND Thor/Loki fic out there in that time. :( Dammit, movies that are recently out or not out yet!)

Hurray for mobility!

I can't remember, have you seen The Losers? The Chris Evens goodness is strong in that one. /bias

Have you gotten to elspethdixon's Steve/Tony stuff yet? It's not movie!verse, but her fic is what got me into the pairing in the first place.

I have read some of it, I think. I can't manage the long things that are all involved with aliens and end of the world and death and things like that yet, though, it's just... too many sharks to leap over at once. I have started several stories like that a few times, and quickly become too lost and/or depressed to go on. At any rate, though, I am fully aware of her works' existence and know how to obtain the epic ones, for if or when my last resistance breaks down!

[nods] I can respect that - 150k+ of alien invasion fic is... 150k+ of alien invasion fic. And most of her other stuff spins off from the Civil War, which, ouch. There's the Snow Queen fusion, but idk how you'd feel about the stylization (I don't know how I feel about the stylization). And now I'm rambling in your comments section, I should probably go back to work.

Yeahhhhh, the Civil War and the alien invasion stuff is a little boggling to me still. But I started off with way higher standards (or lower standards, since I just tried to avoid anything that talked about canon at all...) and gradually read more and more so I figure I'm sure to eventually get desperate enough for anything. Except established relationship. Sometimes I move on to a new fandom before I break down and read that.

As for stylization, sometimes I hate that but I don't remember looking at the Snow Queen one before, so that's something to check out...
