I had to see my doctor today, I can not believe this is happening. He determined nothing is broken or out of socket. Thank Goodness. However I think that may have been easier to deal with. This, (extreme strain or sprain, with the possibility with a small tear) will take at least 6 weeks to heal.
I am leaving here in four for vacation. Just what I need.
Did you know I can't even turn the key on the tractor on? So no mowing before we leave, for sure. (or unless I am better, which I will be.)
I am supposed to make my hand crawl up the wall, at least three or four times a day, (my right hand, that is the side that is affected). I can't do it, I can only go about eye level then I yelp in pain and when I put it down, I yelp even more.
David hurts watching me try my therapy.
Dr said if I don't do it I can end up with a frozen shoulder and that is even worse.
I don't see how anything can be any worse.
I am doped up as he gave me stronger pills for the pain, I said NO, initially, but considering how bad it has gotten today I am glad he did it. Although so far no help is in sight.
We both laugh at our situation, he limps and I can not move my arm. We are quite a site.
As you may guess, I have spent the day looking at the curtains, on the rods, lying on the sofa, love seat and arm chair. I may as well forget about them going up anytime soon.
I told Dr Jack what I was doing he said, "OH NO" No overdoing anything.
I however think I may just feel like marking the spots for the rods. I shall see. I feel a little more useful this morning, could be the Vicoden.
Ya Think????
He maketh me to lie down in Green Pastures,
He leadeth me beside the stillwaters.
Psalms 23:1-2

Remember when I sprained my thumb? My THUMB! It was so stupid, I jumped across the bed to catch Gavin from falling and overextended my thumb...and had to wear this huge splint thing for a few weeks (AND I was pregnant!)
NOT FUN!
I hope you are feeling better soon. If you rest it, it won't continue to hurt after a week or so, just dull pain. Take it easy.
Sue you have to learn you are not as young as you use to be, take it easy. These old bodies does not corporate as they use too. A valuable lesson. I have learned a few and I can't do as I use too.
