bodies, ugh

Dislocated my collarbone last night while picking up a cutting board that literally weighs like 3 pounds. I am moithered to death with my body today, and will be sitting at my desk with my arm propped up today doing research instead of knitting a sweater, like I wanted to be doing. Yes, I have taken all of the anti-inflammatories, and I took a muscle relaxer yesterday to keep from stiffening up so much that I hurt myself worse in my sleep. Today is a lot better, but still tender and a bit grindy? Someone plz tell me I don't have arthritis in my AC joint.

Things I am ( researching: )

If anyone has any places to start with that research, or questions about it that would help me narrow down the research fields, comments and DMs are always welcome.

links post!

I need to get rid of some links, so some of these look interesting but have not been read.
