I returned to Miami Beach on September 4th to get checked in by an American doctor, and also treated and possibly operated on (if need be). Turns out, as of writing this (September 7th) I have:
- A Broken thumb which may require surgery
- Three Broken Ribs
- An extremely achey shoulder, and while not broken, may have torn ligaments or a rotator cuff.
I will be going for a MRI on my shoulder and a CT Scan on my thumb September 14th to determine if I need anymore treatment. Right now, walking for any length of time or using my left arm is basically impossible. Traveling in this condition would be no fun, so I’m taking some rest.
But it’s not like my stay at my condo in Miami Beach will be without excitement. Hurricane Irma, currently a Category 5, but projected to strike Miami as a Category 4, is hurtling towards me.
I live on Ocean Dr, on Miami Beach, which is now a mandatory evacuation. Never have been through a hurricane, being injured and not knowing where to go, I’ve decided to stay and record this spectacle from my Condo. This maybe one of the worst decisions of my life if some of the models prove accurate (storm surge that will send Miami Beach back to the sea, winds that will tear the facades off buildings, power outages for weeks).
But only one way to find out. #Yolo.
