Morning, everyone! Here's hoping you're having a decent day thus far.

I got up early as the pain pills wore off. Plus, there is a 'knot' in my shoulderblade that is driving me nuts. Yes, I have bruising, too.

See you all later; I need coffee.

Is it too early to go have the knot massage out? It will do wonders or put heat on it

Husband has been working on it when possible. Heat....not yet. Have immobilizer on.

I finally got dressed, and the bruise is a nice purple like I expected; higher near the shoulder joint, and swollen a bit. I hope it goes down, and soon.

Here's hoping *you* get better, and soon.

I also hear about the folks. *Sigh*

Cat, get well soon... as possible. These injuries tend linger longer than desired.

Yea! Finally, stopped raining & blue sky above. Rain please stay away.

Hi Cougar,
Hope your arm is getting better!!!
When do you go back to the DR?

Hey Smiles, hope you got some much needed rest.

Hey kdog, ...

Yes Cat, I do feel your pain. We could start a "it hurts" club but that would be too pitiful.

I am not I repeat, I am not a sickbay commando! In the Marine Corps it was an insult to be labeled a sickbay commando when [whimpy] Marines would fake injuries to get out of assigned duties. I have documented MRI's which proves the validity of my stated pain. Plus, WE as nurses are taught to respect a patients statement of pain. :p

BTW, good morning :)

Pity party in that we got our day(s) at last.

I read the x-ray without help (I can't usually read 'em), and I deserve the 'party': This sucker is impacted some.

If pity party translate to convalescent leave then :)
