Disclaimer: this is a whinge.

I fell over on Wednesday, which turns out to have thrown an old shoulder injury out, and I've been in a lot of pain since, and I have hit the 'I hate everything point'. And I can't work out anything to make me feel better (the task I picked turned out that I'd got to the point where I last stopped hammering things in to assemble bookcases, so I can't even shelve books, which is definitely a one handed job. At least typing doesn't hurt because all I'm moving is my hands)

I'd give you a virtual hug, but I suspect that would make you feel worse. I guess you've tried all the common remedies, alternating hot and cold compresses, NSAIDs, and trying to get more sleep than usual?

[fred_mouse]

I'll take the virtual hug, thank you! Yes, hot and cold compress, the 'only when you can't deal otherwise' anti-inflammatories. 'More sleep' wasn't working, because working full time means getting up at a specific hour of the day, and pain means sleeping badly. However, two days of a three day weekend, and I can do a lot more than I could, and I've actually had two good night's worth of sleep in a row (I'm a long term poor sleeper).

Well, the only thing left is to give you a gypsy healing blessing-- (someone in my family insisted we have gypsy blood, and who am I to argue with my elders)...OHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, sending healing vibrations.... I hope you feel better soon.
