Am I the only one who starts blog updates and then never finishes them? Am I the only person who gets annoyed by myself? No, not you annoyed by me. You annoyed by you.

I went to the doctor for my shoulder. It was too painful. I called and begged and they let me come in. The doctor did a bunch of tests. He did these "maneuver" tests where I had to do these resistance things with my arm pushing against his hand in all different directions. Then he had me get x-rays on my shoulder and chest. After all that, he said he had no idea what was wrong.

I will admit feeling a little disappointed. He is referring me to a neurologist whom I have to wait 6 weeks to see. Maybe the new doctor will be able to figure it out. He also said something about an MRI and physical therapy as a possibility for the future. Joy.

I have finally figured out how to sleep at night. Ibuprofen and a heating pad to the rescue. Oh and the Boppy. I hate going to sleep because I am so scared it is going to happen while I am asleep. That is the worst!

Trevor and I are starting to go through all the boxes in the garage and finish unpacking. There are so many boxes just full of junk! We have lots of boxes of stuff ready to go to the DI. This week Trevor is getting a tool box too, so maybe all his tools won't be scattered all over the place and we can start to have some order out there in the garage.

  1. Hi. I am glad you are figuring out how to sleep. That is awesome that you are getting the junk out of your life. :) And I am jealous of your steamer. In that order... :D Just think how quickly we could steam all the white shirts and slacks we use around here on Sunday mornings... Imagine if they all had suits . . . Man I am gonna need a steamer!

  2. HAHA!! Alyson, you crack me up! I totally do that with posts, I write them, then realize they are just annoying/stupid, so I usually delete them. I actually have a few saved as "draft" posts, but I have NO intention of ever posting them...I guess I should just delete them.

    I can't believe you still have to wait so long to get your shoulder taken care of!! Don't they know that you are in pain?!? RUDE! I hope you get to feeling better soon!

    Oh...awesome about the steamer...I want one (I hate ironing!) :)

  3. I start tons of posts that never get finished...or started! They're all in my head and I don't have the time to get to the computer and write it down!

    I hope you figure out what's going on with you shoulder!
