Got my bandages off on Monday. I'm now allowed to take the sling off if I'm just chilling around the house and such. The incision is healing well, but I'm gonna have a gnarly scar.

My gamers and I are having so much fun with the Justice League Unlimited TTRPG. Only a QuickStart version is out so far, and we already love it. Strong recommendation.

I wrote the script a ways back so that @k9art.bsky.social could work on it whenever he's ready.

So the nerve block didn't wear off as I was asleep. I woke up to the sensation of being numb. It finally wore off somewhere around two in the afternoon, which is both good and bad. It was nice to be able to feel and move my hand again, but then the pain kicked in. At this point, I'm handling it OK

Surgery on the arm apparently went well. The nerve blocker they gave me is still going, though I imagine it will wear off while I'm asleep. Thank you everyone who sent me messages of well wishing.

OK! Cardio clearance is set and everything is lined up. So next Thursday, I get to go have my surgery on my arm and actually begin the healing process.

One of my favorite memories associated with the Lord of the Rings took place the day I saw the Fellowship of the Ring on screen. Afterwards, there was a boy of perhaps 10, and he was reenacting Legolas shooting orcs at Amon Hen. No audience...just living in his fired-up imagination.

Met with my orthopedic surgeon today, and there's what I would call mixed news. On the good side, the brake does not appear to have been as severe as I thought. On the downside, he sent me for a CAT scan to get a more precise look at what's going on in my arm. So no firm answers on a path forward.

Death, your aim sucks. You could take someone whose passing would bring so much joy, but instead you take Dolly and Tim, and we have to mourn instead.

Two episodes in, and here is my spoiler free review: Lanterns is fantastic. I have been so excited for this show, and everyone and it is so good. The writing is really delivering everything I could possibly want.

With Dolly Parton, one thing I would say is that she was a true Christian, and I can mean it as a compliment. Unlike so many who simply talk the talk, she completely walked the walk. She was an incredibly beautiful person, heart and soul.

Well, I was holding off until I had more definite news, but alas, I must report that when I took my fall this weekend, apparently I gave my arm what is called a comminual fracture. Wednesday morning, I'm gonna go find out if it's going to require surgery, or what. i'm not thrilled about it, but…

Andy "Aethan" French @aethan.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

Yeah, the situation is not great. Not being able to use one arm is very frustrating, to say nothing of the pain.

I would die for him (and did, several times, as I worked on earning him.) I have never concentrated on grinding in this game so much as I did to get him. (And take this as a reminder that I play Lord of the Rings Online on the Peregrin server. You can find me [Carroll] and Crunchy there.)

OK, but seriously, the buffalo chicken roller at 7-Eleven is so much better than it has any right to be.

Because I don't have nearly enough projects, on September 23, I'll be leading a bunch of furries on Boston's Freedom Trail. If this sounds fun to you, and you want to join, drop me a line, and I'll get you an invite to our Telegram group.

Random question...does anyone have an image of a furry in Revolutionary War costume I can use for a group image for organizing a furry walk on the Freedom Trail?
