Put me out of my misery!

Its not bursitis - it's two enflamed tendons in my shoulder.... and yesterday i got the flu🙄
Like, the real flu, influenza flu.

Ugh

Ive lasted all year without really catching anything more than a 24hr cold.

Its one week or so from the end of the school year....and im here shivering. Everything is sore - even my eyeballs.

Ive commandeered the couch as my new base of operations, which translates to - the remote, a bottle of ginger beer and a box ot tisuses.

I feel like ive been put in a human rock tumbler.

Oh....and its nearly the middle of summer 🙄

Ahh, fuck me.
Fuck me twice 😠

Goes to show, you can think you have it all under control, and then Life goes : "hey....gurlfren & you forgot this!"

😠

Send tissues

Don't you have a bushfire to cuddle up to and sweat out the virus...
The timing sucks...

On a positive note....Summer has yet to start...the Solstice isn't until December 22.

@KiwiBird the bush fire came pretty close to my old home, but im on the other side of the river now.

Yeah, the timing is awful. The end of the year is so busy.
I should be on starting to pack up my building.
Annoys me i cant start.

But... I was also burning out working with a non functioning shoulder. The pain was starting to spread to my neck from being an idiot, and compensating.

So...its kinda like the universe gave me forced rest😏

I'm sorry Oogie, feel better soon I hope 🤗

OogieBoogie · F

@Bexsy oh i will.

Nothing like being sick to make normal feel great.

Feck and stuff, 100% ... but also, how bad are enflamed tendons?

OogieBoogie · F

@NudasPriest 🤗

They are pretty much like bursitis. They "grab" like bursitis pain does.

And theres no actual escape from it on the path to healing properly.... apparently😠🙄

Doc says: antiinflammatories,pain meds and rest - yay 👍
Physio says: work till first pain and then do my exercise sets - boo👎

Physio seemed more switched on

First I gotta stop going hot and cold, and id like my eyeballs to stop grating like sand in their sockets🫤

NudasPriest

@OogieBoogie Fingers crossed for a quick flu recovery.

@faery Arnica ?

I didn't know of that.
Ill definitely see if i can get some.
You just made me google it and it seems perfect.

Thankyou so much🤗

@OogieBoogie You're very welcome. It's some pretty good stuff. By the time your flu is better, it should have the tendonitis tamped down quite a bit, if not completely healed. It's pretty fast, if you use it three times a day everyday.

Feel better soon!
