I just want to give you guys an update—my shoulder has gotten worse. I thought forcing it to heal while still typing on the computer wouldn't make it any worse, but after visiting the orthopedic doctor, turns out it's pretty bad. The doctor advised me not to use or type with my injured shoulder at all! But hey, I can still type with one hand, so I’ll try to update tomorrow, lol....
My shoulder from the road accident is getting worse, and I can't handle the pain, so I might need to rest for one or two days at most. I'm sorry
