The trick to remembering stuff is journaling. At least in my experience. Often I’ll do something or something will happen and I think, that rings a bell. I’m glad I have my blog for most of that.
Speaking of my blog, I haven’t been around much. To be honest, for the last couple of weeks it has hurt too much to do any extra typing. So I’ve had to finally live up to a sad fact.
I’m human.
And sometimes I just have to take care of myself.
So I’ve missed the last two weeks of my own prompts. I did manage to get the words in from those two weeks into this post already. Did you notice?
Everything is just a little overwhelming at the moment. No one thing is pushing me over the edge, just a lot of little things are pushing me over the edge.
Imagine an army of tiny mice shoving me towards a cliff.
That’s me.
And tiny mice.
So the cortisone shot went well. My shoulder’s not perfect, and I still can’t sleep, but it’s better.
Maybe the mice are keeping me awake.
Yeah, I need sleep.

I agree with Pam, 100% you are worth waiting for. I hope your shoulder feels better soon. Are they suggesting anything else like Physical Therapy?

Thanks, Dan. I might go back to PT. It’s expensive, though. One of the things not covered here.

It was expensive here, too. The last time I went it was $53 a season but my copay was $40 🙁
I setup a couple of stations here where I can continue to do mist of the exercises and stretches.

$75/session here. No insurance for me, though a lot of companies will include insurance for that stuff when they hire you here. Alas, I have no job.

Have you tried sleeping while sitting up? that might relieve some of the pressure on the arm.

Yes, but then I end up with a stiff neck instead. 😛 I don’t have a comfortable chair. May have to get one. Thanks for the suggestion, John.

Facing reality of difficult times – hard – can relate to an overabundance of little things becoming a heap to deal with on a daily basis. I hope there are better days ahead waiting for you to enjoy.

Cortisone shots are very painful. Shoulder pain is also hard. I get acupuncture on my shoulder every two weeks and it keeps me sane. Good luck with your recovery. Sending gentle virtual hugs.

The shot was no more painful than the shoulder, just a different kind of pain.

Sorry about your shoulder. I had shoulder replacement surgery at the end of May after more years than you want to know about of pain. I hope you’re able to get some physio after your cortisone shot. Best wishes.

Pain Sucks™. It can keep us from all sorts of things. And getting over pain is draining as well. So even if we’ve been pain free after a long time with it, we can still be dragging. Healing takes a lot of energy. Sorry you’re feeling punky. :::hugs:::
