Of Slings and Things

Today is Day 21.
Looking at me, you wouldn’t see a man in desperation. But actually I am. Anyway, for the folks out there, I digress.

In my present state, the best thing to do if you are in temporary exile is, well, to make yourself comfortable. With some experimentation, I found two ways to live with my dormant companion - the appendage also known as my left arm.

                                 itself !

Second, if I’m in my castle, then a pillow supported by a belt becomes a nice support base while I’m still in my healing coccoon.





Here, in sunny Singapore, it’s Youth Day. Also, to you in the land of the big apple – Happy Independence Day !
