Our YMCA closed the pool we swim in 5 days a week for 4 weeks
In a foolish light bulb moment,
MS came up with Home Style Exercises... KNOWING I am almost 70, KNOWING I have arthritis, which is why I do the pool only and not the gym...
MadSnapper took her daddy's cane, and played at weight lifting and did a big long stretch (see above) and felt something SNAP.....

| the way my shoulder felt |
Urgent Care says intrascapular pain in plain English sprained/strained muscle that was swollen and pressing on nerves...
that would just not STOP..... neck, shoulder all the way to the wrist, down the back. PULSING SHOCKS OF PAIN..... could not lay, stand or sit to get relief.
Meds and drugs and heat pads and 2 weeks of very little sleep....... my pain is from a 10 to a 2 on the pain scale.
Now I have a sinus infection ... more drugs... more money... etc etc plumber bill
$300...AC bill $100....blah blah yada yada
I can type for short periods of time, as in five minutes at a time..
I have 12 left over posts in drafts which will help me start back slowly.... very slowly.. but I don't know when I will be back...

just good to hear from you! have been thinking of you and missing you - and sending good thoughts your way. hope all is on the upswing...
Oh so good to hear from you. I missed you as everyone has.
So sorry to hear that gloom and Doom
problems.
We think we are young perhaps in heart and head right but our bodies tell us with arthritis and our age.
Who are we fooling. Only ourselves. I have been there done that.
I cannot do the things I did last year even and the year before.
I was shocked. I thought it was only the golden you know what we have not the aches and pains.
I thought retirement was Traveling, dancing still swing the golf club. Long rips to the mall till we drop. To have dessert. Not even that now.
You take care my Sandra and I know when you come back.
We will get some laughs as usual.

I am about your age and can sympathize, here you were being clever and trying new exercises and OUCH. Will the pool be open soon? I exercise in a pool too, and then 5 minutes in the jacuzzi. Be well soon.
I know you will be FINE! It just takes time for ones our age.
I'd say take it easy but it sounds like you have to!! I do hope you will mend well no matter how long it takes.
Best,
Bonnie
Ouch, ouch! I hope you feel better soon, and I hear you on those bills... Take care!
Wow! Hope you'll be on the up and up soon and very soon. Take care.
Heal well and take your time. See ya when you feel better.
Just take your time and don
't push yourself. Forget commenting till you are better. I just like seeing a post from you now and then.
Take your time ~ we will be here waiting for you.
I do hope you feel better . that can't be fun !
Oh my gosh Sandra - that is not good - I didn't realize that you were hurting so bad. I can't even imagine the pain in your shoulder. And now sinus. You are having a rough time! I hope you feel better soon Sandra.
I really have missed your happy posts. Do take all the time you need to heal properly.You are in my prayers.
Been missing you and hope you are soon without pain once again.
It's good to see a post here, but I'm so sorry you are in so much pain. I hope you find relief from it soon and also for your sinus problems. I'll be praying for you! Take care of yourself.
So sorry, sounds so painful. Take as much time as you need, you know we are not going anywhere! ((HUGS))

It's good to hear from you. Too bad it's bad news. Get lots of rest and heal and I hope to see you return to form soon. Take care!
It takes time to heal your body. Take care and take rest!
No worries we see you when we see you and most importantly take care and be better soon.

I was so happy to see you in my reader this morning. You've been missed. No one tells corny jokes like you do :)
Like previous commenters, I was both happy to see your posted update, but sorry to read of the pain you have been suffering with. Of course, you should rest and take care of yourself and blogging will still be here when you feel well enough to return.
Don't worry about when you will be back sweet Sandra, you just take care of yourself and get all healed up. We will be here when you do get back. So sorry about all the bills on top of your pain and suffering. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers sweet friend. Hugs
Have been missing you and your crazy blog posts.. So sorry you have had so many problems... Prayers and love for YOU.
Hugs,
Betsy
Just concentrate on getting better. We'll be here when you get back.
Hope you feel better soon. I've been keeping up with you through MC.
I've been thinking about you! I hope you get all better very soon!
Bet you popped something back in place when you heard the snap!!!! I have been thinking of you. You take care and get better. Prayers being said. Miss you!
I was thinking about you this morning and was going to send you an email to see if you were feeling better. Then I decided to check here first. Good to see you back even for a brief visit. Take it easy and keep things slow. Get well soon.
When it rains, it pours. Big, big bummers on the shoulder and the sinus infection!! Take it easy and get better. Thinking about you!
Oh no, you poor thing. I have had that muscle give me pain, but nothing like what you have. A friend, and massage therapist, fixed me up real quick. She knew right where to press and give me relief. I hope you are back to yourself soon and find relief somehow.
The Blog World is NOT the same without you!! You have been missed and I am so sad you have been in such pain! Prayers for healing health......
Oh flippety heck! What a time you're having. Sending healing energies your way, and a hug :)

No kidding, we've all been missing you so much!! Continuing to pray that you can get more relief and healing. Yikes. Sounds like MS's gym is a failure. I'll stay away from that one. ;-) I know it's not funny. But you know...

A new header, and so pretty!!!
Please take your time and don't over do anything. I am so sorry this happened to you and I have missed you a lot. It is good to see you back, and good to know you know to take it easy.

So sorry to read about your troubles so bit late but I really hope you have a speedy recovery.

Oh no!!!! I am playing catch up tonight. I have been wondering where you were. I knew you had hurt your back again but didn't know you hurt it worse. I'm so sorry all of this is hitting you at once! I will pray that you get better! My wrist have been bothering me from typing up some legal documents for my dad! lol
Hugs,
Angela
My goodness..so sorry for all the trouble! Pray you will be feeling much better soon! I miss you! :-)
