Pic o' the Day #13

Me with one of the Peace Corps drivers. We first met during my pre-service training in the summer of 2004. Because the program in China had been suspended for a year, they cut the staff. He was working as a freelance driver based at Sichuan Normal University. I remember we talked about the Korean War as he drove me to the hospital to get physical therapy.

My shoulder started to hurt a little. A few days later, I couldn't move my arm at all. Dr. Hu, our wonderful medical officer, took me to see the doctor who founded the hospital and a moment later I was diagnosed with "frozen shoulder". I was concerned that I had an ailment that would afflict someone like Grandpa Simpson. You know, dropsy, dum dum fever, nervous blood, exoskeletosis, etc.

Turns out its a real condition. Dr. Hu brought me back for treatment for four days. I had to leave early from my Chinese class. After those four days, I was back to my old self.

Hope you are well.
