The Raven's Roost

Anyway, I saw the doc today about my shoulder. She took an X-ray and thinks part of the issue is that there's a channel one of the nerves runs through that looks narrower than it ought to be. But for the time being we're tackling this with the lowest-level things first. I have a referral to a physical therapist, and a prescription for heavy-duty Advil. The PT will hopefully know some exercises and such that will restore my range of motion. In the meantime I'm supposed to avoid straining the joint with exercises or serious lifting. Low impact things like yoga are fine. The prescription won't be ready until tomorrow so I may just run back into town and get it, since I won't be out again until Friday.

Oh, and I'm supposed to try to avoid sleeping on my left side. That should be fun! I've only been a left-side sleeper my whole life. LOL.

I'd have liked the cool weather to stick around, but we're having unseasonably warm temps here and I had to go ahead and shut the house back up so I can run the AC. Meh. Maybe by Friday it will cool off again. Or Saturday, fuck if I know. I'm just grumpy because I feel personally victimized by the weather. *shakes fist at the sky* At least daylight savings time is over for now. I really just wish we'd pick ONE TIME and stick with it. I don't care what time scheme we use, just stop this flipping back and forth. It doesn't save electricity, it doesn't help farmers, it's just stupid and annoying. Actually it would be nice if we'd go to military time, but Murica will never do anything sensible like that. We can't even get the metric system.

Tomorrow or Wednesday I'm going to bake matcha and white chocolate brownies. I'll let you know how they come out.
