for the last two weeks i have been sporting a sore shoulder. i thought that it was a pinched nerve, but at this point i have no idea. when i wake up in the morning i can barely move my arm. by the end of the day it is better, but still really sore. i can type and mouse and drive, but the rotation of my arm hurts like hell. i have a doctors appointment on wednesday to have someone look at it (and get my first physical in some years).
but i didn't post that to bitch. i posted that so that i could talk about how much being in pain (and having to adjust to not using your primary arm) can mess with you. my father was in a car accident a few months ago and broke his collarbone. his arm was immobalized for several weeks and he talked about how that drove him crazy. i am already favoring my arm, my posture has changed to take stress of that side of my body. i am already using my left hand more. it is strange how quickly your body adjusts to things like this.

Sounds as if you need an ergonomics audit for your workspace. See if your HR department will spring for one. The actual injury you describe reminds me of when I tore my right anterior deltoid, so a visit with the doctor is probably in order. Best to you.

Forgive me, but I never thought I would hear you talk about your lawn! Does this mean you are a "real boy"? Glad to see you and Melissa are doing well. Toss me a line sometime.
By the way, I'm not old, so you can't be!
