For years I've had massive knots in my neck and shoulders and it finally got bad enough for me to do something about it. I've been going to the chiropractor and also I'm having a deep tissue massage once a week. Things are going really well and I can turn my head further than I've been able to in a while. We've also discovered that I have a lot of issues with my right rotator cuff.
Enter the super windy day.
Everything was going really well on Sunday and then we started to leave church. I pushed on the door with my right arm and paused for just a moment to think "Maybe you should use your Left arm. Naaaa.....it'll be okay." Well, it wasn't. With the wind pushing on the door and my not-so-good arm, it was just too much. I strained the deltoid muscle and a tendon. By the time I got home it was hurting pretty bad. I iced it and took a bath with epsom salts. It only got worse. By the time I went to bed, I couldn't move my arm from my side.
Seriously. And it seems so silly. I pulled a muscle opening a door! Good grief! But truly, I was in a world of pain!
My chiropractor worked a lot on my arm today and it's definitely better. I still can't reach across in front. But it's better.
Monday night is Katie's night to cook. Sometimes she fixes something by herself and sometimes I help her learn a new skill. We had planned on learning something new tonight. However, she was up all night with an upset stomach.
So between her being exhausted and my bum arm, we went out for dinner tonight. It was just one of those nights. We rarely go out during the week. But I'm so thankful we did tonight! And the restaurant had extra cheesecake that they needed to get rid of and asked us if we would like to have some. YUM!!
Now I'm back home icing my arm again. And watching the Rangers!
Yea for eating out. We did too. lol. It was just one of those days! Hope your arm gets better!
