Ow?
Jeez, how I’d like to post about something other than pain. Well, I guess I could. I don’t have to share.
I have no idea what I did, but yesterday, I woke up and my upper right arm was hurting a tad. By the end of the day, it was hurting a lot, and it circles around to the back of my arm, down to my elbow and them continued until it reached my palm. Then it snaked up to the back of my shoulder. If I keep it down by my side, it just ached. If I lifted it up, it really hurt. I had a hard time going to sleep with it. I’m very thankful that Mac went into work late so he could take Ada to school. I medicated and Icy Hotted and finally slept from about 3:00 – 7:00, and then again from 8:00 until a little after 10:00. It hurts less, but I just cannot lift it without more pain.
I know what I should not have done yesterday: go for a run, cleaned two bathrooms, washed, folded and put away 2.5 loads of laundry, made beds, unload and reload dishes and cleaned the kitchen.
Today I am doing almost nothing. I picked up Ada, and had to start the shift the car with my left arm. I loaded some remaining dishes and started one load, but will not put them up. I’m thankful that the kids said they wanted cereal and pickles for lunch. I can do that with one arm. I also just vetoed making dinner because even though I planned out a meal that I can make by throwing food in the slow cooker, I’d have to lift my heavy slow cooker out of the very back of bottom cabinet. With one arm. My left arm. Nope. I’ll order dinner or have Mac pick something up.
If it is still bad tomorrow, I’ll have to seek the advice from the medical community. I just don’t know what I did. Unless it is a back issue, say a pinched nerve, that is resulting in pain in my arm. I just really wish it hadn’t taken out my more coordinated right arm.
