oh the pain of it all...

I woke up yesterday with my shoulder hurting. A lot. After it wasn't any better today, I went to the chiropractor. Apparently, my shoulder was pushed part way out of its socket and it was pinching a nerve. So he popped it back in, adjusted my back and neck and sent me on my way. But before he let me go, he gave me specific instructions that I was not allowed to move my elbow above my waist if I could help it, and that if I had problems doing that he would have to tape my arm to my side. Well, as tempting as that was, I said I would be a good little girl and keep it on the down low.

This has proven to be more difficult than I thought it would be. Do you know how many times you reach for something with the wrong arm? Do you know how difficult it is to be a formerly two armed fully functioning individual?

And then I got to thinking, if he taped my arm to my side, how would I put on my shirt? How would I shower, and apply deodorant and wear a bra? I most certainly couldn't go to work without all of those things...Huh, maybe getting my arm taped to my body is more tempting than I originally thought... I could do with a week off work.....

Just call me gimpy....
