Well, my Saturday plain sucked. Went down to the shop to put the final touches on the AI car. had it on the lift, installing the trans. Had the clutch cable already cinched up and that made the tranny impossible to get seated. So, I grabbed an aluminum ladder and climbed up to the engine bay. The tranny jack prevented me from lowering the lift. The ladder was a bit wobely so I figured I should get dow before I fell. Not two seeconds later, the ladder did just that with me 5 feet in the air. I grabbed for the car to hang on and proceeded to dislocate my right shoulder on the way down. I knew before I landed that it was dislocated. Took me a minute to figure out how to get up and over to the table to reduce the dislocation. Had it back in socket within a few minutes. Hung out with Michael for a few hours before heading to the ER, since I knew it was back in place.

History: This was my 5th dislocation, but sadly the first after surgery 14 years ago. I learned how to reduce my own shoulder dislocationafter #2 when I watched the Dr. in action.



Obviously racing is out for at least 6-12 weeks, assuming no surgery. If surgery is required, I'll be out 6 months.... I will be at Hallett to cheer everyone on... Yea!! Go Team!!

Just another lovely hand of cards to play in the exciting game of life.
