OUCH!

I hurt my arm tonight. I actually would like to saw it off right now it would feel a lot better. It really flared up at Jacob's football practice and our team medic checked it out. He thinks I've strained my rotor cuff. We went thru the what did you do today. He was even being humerous asking if I went shopping today and spent too much money and hurt myself carrying the bags. HAHA! We finally determined I did it taking the baseball equipment out of my car (which Eddie was supposed to do last night) and lifting my box full of stuff for football. (i'm responsible for this rolling box that has all kinds of stuff in it. It can get very heavy.) He says you have an SUV don't you? Yes I do. He then said did you just reach in for the stuff it pull it out and twist your body to put it down. Of course I did, why would I lift things the correct way and open the doors it's easier just to open the hatch and pull the stuff out! BINGO!!! There's what I did wrong. I lifted my nice heavy box incorrectly and messed up my rotor cuff. He told me to take Motrin and ice it. Luckily one of the Mom's overheard and said here take this it's the "good" ibuprophen. She is a nurse in the surgery ward at a hospital so she has the nice "high powered" ibuprophen. So here I sit arm propped and iced. Oh and no Eddie wasn't there to help me tonight. He was getting a new store turned over and had been gone since 6 this morning. He called me at 730p on his way home and told me he'd be there to help me get all my stuff in the car and load it for me. What a guy!!!! No wonder I love him so much. Now I just have to hope it feels better by tomorrow. It's laundry day and I have a ton to do and can't have this weighin me down.

If you wrap your bag of ice on your shoulder with an ace bandage you can be mobile. Or are you trying to get out of the laundry? LOL Seriously be careful...we ARE getting older and the parts break / strain more easily!
