Out of the blue, BOOM, tendonitis has made itself at home in my body. So saith the nice doctor at the Immediate Care office this afternoon.
Yesterday my shoulder hurt. It was uncomfortable, but not enough to concern me. And I was pretty distracted from my own needs, as you'll recall from yesterday's post. Yes.
But this morning I awoke in agony. So much so that as I tried to change my clothes my mouth involuntarily yelped and screeched and my tears afloweth. Something is really wrong. And it's Saturday. So that means a 45 minute drive to the Immediate Care.
A few torturous squeezes to my shoulder and tendonitis was declared the ailment of choice. How do you get tendonitis from not doing anything, I don't know.
So to the pharmacy (which we never go to except twice now in a week... Peter's ears are all good) for a pain-killer I'd rather not take and a Call Me In The Morning... but really wait 5-7 days... and don't call me, call the ortho guy upstairs whose number is xxx-GAME. Why would a doctor have the word 'game' in his phone number? Hoping I don't have to find out.
Should be interesting/scary to see how Paul styles my hair tomorrow morning before church. Oh man.
I'm a California city-girl living in a Midwestern town of 1,042. It's a small life, but one filled with love and purpose.
