Global Edition # 23 - the "ouch" edition
here is where i try to work out the good and the not so good stuff that
happened in the past week. facing the bad (and sometimes even the good)
is not easy, but it's something i want to do. here goes it.
A LOT of hard this week. What with my shoulders (both!) locking and having one of those birthday things, it was tough going...
The Not So Good Stuff
Being zero-armed
So on Thursday both my shoulders decided to stop working, and my upper back went into spasms. I knew this could not be good, at all, but I did not call for help until Friday. A LOT of ouch.
Physio
On Saturday I went to the physio clinic and a really nice and competent girl checked my shoulders. No long-term damage to tendons or muscles YET, but a lot of work needed. I have homework (to stretch every hour, among others) and I have to go back probably once a week for a while.
Monies
Lacking a lot of it at the moment and having to spend on physio. Oy...
Birthday
Yep, another year clocked. I don't feel good on my birthday, or the week before or the week after, but I try to play along. This year I even went out to celebrate. Of all the people invited, 4 came out to play with me, and that brought up all sorts of stuck for me. Still processing that, so won't say any more.
The Good Stuff
Change
I was offered a new position in work, a lateral move that meant I would change team. The offer was taken immediately!
The Boy
He is a wonderful man, the perfect husband for me, and made my birthday more than bearable :)
so this is it from me. do join in the tradition if you feel like it!!!
