How do you feel today?

[Nav]

Way back in June I developed a pain in my right upper arm that varied from dull throb to hot needle and, stubbornly refused to go away. I saw my doctor and had a few x-rays, and MRI and a whole raft of painkillers and anti-inflammatories all to little or no effect. Entirely by chance, I registered with a new doctor when I moved house and he happened to be a sports injuries specialist. He noticed that my arms were in the wrong place (still attached to my shoulders, in case you were wondering, but too far forward) and referred me to a physiotherapist. The physio agreed with the doctor, saying that my right shoulder in particular was a biomechanical mess, and that my upper back was also out of line and very stiff.

So, after two weeks of exercises I actually woke up this morning with no pain in the arm. It's crept back in as the day has worn on, but those first four hours or so were pretty sweet.

Not great.
I seem to have developed a slight illness.

Which I have decided calls for hot chocolate and a Star Wars trilogy marathon.

And skipping college tonight seems sensible, because I don't think I'm well enough to drive safely. That's how I'm justifying it to myself anyway.

Yesterday they called an advanced care paramedic to work. I became exhausted, had a headache, and was clammy. Wasn't transported to hospital, though. Anyway, saw my doctor today and I now have to see a neurologist as there may be something happening in my brain.

That's frightening. Hope everything's okay!

Well, things are always happening in your brain. Just kidding man...that's rough. Hope it turns out alright. Take it easy.

When I wrote 'things happening' I realised that I was making an 'obvious' statement (as a neuropsychology graduate), but I had hoped the context of the sentence would clue people in.

Haha, I'm sure it did. I was just enjoying pointing out the obvious as a brief light note. You did notice my emphasis I hope?

Simple appears to be the signifying word here, Avatar.

Hopeful, thanks to Loremaster.

Well, given my excellent post about a certain spammer yesterday . .. . I'd say my response was significantly below my standards.

[Avatar]

It was indeed. Although I suppose allowances must be made for the fact that you're not exactly feeling on top form today.

So in all fairness, I'll overlook it...this time...

(When you include the fact that you never noticed that questioning the quality of your insult was the best I could come up with, I can only conclude you're off your game )
