Wow. These days I haven’t been feeling so hot. I have a list of nagging injuries that won’t go away. Kind of feel like I was in a car accident. I hope I didn’t jinx myself by thinking that. Anyway, let me run down the list for you…
- Bum right shoulder (which I continue to aggravate by playing softball)
- Gimpy right ankle (the one that I sprained back in ‘05 and never let heal right)
- Pinched nerve in my neck (I’m not a doctor, but I’ve heard people described pinched nerves before)
- Sore lower back
- Achy knees
- Bruised chest (another one from softball when I forgot I had a mitt on to catch the damn ball)
So with all that, I think it’s enough to say “I’m hurtin’!”. And to add insult to injury (get it?), I am not sleeping very well, either. Everytime I roll over, I wake up from the pain from my neck and shoulder. Yeah, it sucks.
After a closer analysis, I realize that almost everywhere I have pain is on the right side of my body. Which means half of me is ok, while the other half is in agony. And of course this makes me half the man I used to be. Ok, enough whining. Let’s get on with the healing.
And don’t tell me to take some medicine. I’ve been popping ibuprofen like they were skittles. I am probably immune to Advil now.
