Pain in my....

puppetmakerThe drive to Knoxville caused my right shoulder to be very painful. The drive back didn’t help that. I thought I had it back in working order before doing my full weight routine on Saturday. Not so much and Sunday night was miserable. This morning it is more of a dull pain reminding me that it is there unless I move it a certain direction and then it is painful. Bowling is either going to be fascinating or impossible this evening.
I have learned over the years how to work around injury. I use to work through it but that only seem to make the injury worse over time. Now with various parts of my body with various injuries and aliments, I make efforts towards the goal that I can move the next day.
I think if I could go back and tell my younger self one thing it would be to take care of my body better. Don't assume that if your body can do something it should. And be nice to your knees, since you are going to need them later. Oh and protect yourself when playing to chemicals that will cause long term damage again not immortal.
Today has a number of things on the list. I think I will start with the kitchen and then work my way to the next thing and see how far I can get before lunch. I do need to do some writing today of the fictional kind. It can be a balancing act some days. Especially when I have to baby a part of my body that is not happy with me.
An anti-inflammatory is a must at this point. I avoid taking anything until I am at a point that I have to take something to function. Drugs and me have a strange history of working too well to, as I use it, not working well at all so I use them sparingly.
I don’t think the wet and cold outside is helping either. Not snow but rain however it is the cold rain that seeps into your bones and doesn’t let go.
Right now the cats are curled up with each other asleep. I think they have the right idea.
I am grateful for things that reduce the pains that my body has.
