I have a seatbelt-inflicted bruise on my chest about the same size as an iPhone SE. Colours are presently red & blue. In time, black & a sickly yellow will appear.

I have, in the loungeroom, a power board with 4 x 240 volt switched AC outlets. It also ha a pair of USB charging ports, rated for a total of 4.2 Amps. If both ports are used, the current reduces to compensate. So I’m using that to charge the solar, etc powerbank.

The solar, etc powerbank has a pair of 2.1 A USB charging outlets and a micro USB port for faster charging. It comes partially charged, at around 60% capacity. There’s also a diffused LED light alleged to last up to 60 hours on a full battery charge.

Today I collected a powerbank from a shop. As local stock was limited I bought online, electing to collect it from the local store to save postage costs. It’s a 15,000 mAh battery in a splashproof case. It also has a solar panel for trickle-charging.

One of the guys in the Men’s Shed group picked me up this morning and had planned to take me to the railway station so I could take a country train to the town 6 stations away where Mum lives. However, the maintenance man at the venue that hosts the Shed lives one town further down the line so I cadged a lift with him.
I’m home again, this time with Mum’s car, a 21 year old Hyundai Lantra Sportswagon.
Tomorrow I remove all my gear from the wreck then head off to a doctor’s appointment.

appointment made.

Massaging of tendon bunch nexus HAS reduced the pain from the pinched nerve in the shoulder.

Beside the armpit, below the collarbone & just above the bruise is a spot where the shoulder/arm tendons meet in a bunch. Past experience shows massaging that spot can lead to a reduction in pain from the pinched shoulder nerve. Trying that now.

In too much pain now to sleep. A nerve in my left shoulder gets pinched under such trauma as I experience in the crash.

I do. They're reliable, cheapish to buy & own, although the Hondas & Toyotas are made in Thailand now.
