Today I'm going to be boring.
I will be sewing that next round table topper, which is looking so lovely I might add. I added another little detail to this one.
I might go down to the gym, and follow it up with a soak in the hot tub as well.
That will depend on how my BSA is feeling. Last night it was really, really sore, to the point where I literally loaded up on painkillers when I got home from WW. BSA= BACK SHOULDER ARM.
I'm sick of typing it all out. Get used to BSA. 😊
I do wish now I'd made a Dr's appointment with another doctor when I went down there last week. Now I'll have to wait until we get home from Australia. Derrr.
12.43 pm, and I'm finally sitting down again.
I spent the morning doing some exercise, then I came home and did some work on preparing for our trip. Wrote lists. Found stuff, etc.
I still need to go to SPARK and sort out International Roaming, and inform the village admin that we will be away. That's for security reasons.
Lacy got some amazing news today. She has been doing relief milking for a while, and is LOVING working on a farm again.
Today she was employed to do AB (Artificial Breeding) as well over the next month. She is thrilled to bits to finally be getting off the benefit and actually working full time. And of course the best part is she's working on a farm, around cows, which she just loves so much. After the month of AB, she will be back to relief milking, which is spasmodic work. But still work. She's so PROUD of herself, as are we. WELL DONE LACY.
Sorry the BSA is still a bother. I've almost made it through my sciatica problem with 2 Tylenol Arthritis pills in the AM and 2 in the PM. Plus wearing 4% Lidocaine patches around the clock. It's been a long 3+ weeks. I hope you can find some relief soon. Ky Girl
ReplyDeleteIs there a chance of getting to see ANY doctor before your trip? It seems like a real bother. Do you have any "walk-in" non emergency type situations?
ReplyDeleteDid you lift any of those bags stones? Yesterday could it be rotator cuff?
ReplyDeleteHow well do you tolerate tramadol?
It’s a grungy pain killer but makes some very very sleepy.
I take Celebrex it’s an rheumatoid/osteopath/arthritic/pain relief it is a game changer for me otherwise my shoulder and left hand would literally make me cry with the constant pain.
No I didn't lift any stones. Lacy did it all. I hurt my shoulder lifting a shelving unitvwhen we moved house. It's been getting worse since May. Constant pain, aching all the time. I'm picking it's rotary cuff as I have every single symptom of it. Still waiting for an ultrasound.
DeleteIgnore typos! Rotar cuff
DeleteIf it is a full tear, and it sounds like it might be, that’s surgery, total immobilization, lots of physical therapy, almost a year recovery.
DeleteI had mine fixed in Sept 2020, luckily my husband was working from home. I needed a lot of help during the immobilization part. It was a very long time before I could dress myself. It was a really long time before I could drive again.
I made a full recovery. I followed instructions very carefully.

Gosh that sounds awful. I hope i don't need surgery!
DeleteIf it is a sizable tear, it is surgery. If it is a sizable tear you want surgery, that is the only fix.

Tramadol is awful, I can't take it at all. I was prescribed other medication when I needed pain relief after knee surgery. Did you take out travel insurance? I never, ever travel without it for exactly cases like this. You absolutely should have had a scan (they are not expensive!!)... why wait for public care when you could have booked a scan straight away. If you'd gone back to any doctor they would have sorted something out. Sorry to sound angry but I am... too much procrastination over what seems to be a very serious issue.
ReplyDeleteYes we have travel insurance. Yes, I should have gone to a dr. Yes I should have just paid for an ultrasound. Yes. *sigh* Tramadol used to work for me, but it's not really helping with this pain. I will probably go to an A & E clinic now.
DeleteCongratulations Lacy. That's awesome news and I bet more fulltime work will come from it. Enjoy.
