So I haven't written in a really long time because I have been having a rough time and did not feel like writing. I still don't.
An update on the shoulder fiasco: after immobilizing my shoulder for 5 days I was still in pain. my regular physician referred me to an orthopedic surgeon who after examining me said I had 2 options, try physical therapy again or try a cortisone injection. Having already spent 3 months in physical therapy I opted for the cortisone. The injection itself hurt like a bitch, but the next 4 days were worse. I could not even move my arm without excruciating pain, my pain doubled that of the pain before the injection. I had to take 10 days off of work to let the cortisone do its thing. After those 10 days....I STILL HAD PAIN! So I went back to the orthopedic surgeon who examined me again and gave me three options: 1. another cortisone injection in a different spot. 2. An MRI. 3 An arthrogram (an xray where the inject the joint with die). I opted to get an MRI to hopefully discover what exactly is wrong with my shoulder. I get those results on Friday.
On top of all of that my car is not running, she won't start. And I had to kick out and replace one of my roommates. It's been a long painful couple of months.
