Give yourself credit for anything you've done right!

  Last night, after two days of nearly total idleness, I did a load of laundry and installed my bedroom
  air conditioner, with lots of cardboard and duct tape to secure it for the rainy weather.  Well done. 

 

Good job.
That foam board you get in packing or the hobby aisle is also great insulation on the sides and cuts easily if the cardboard doesn't quite cut it.

  Thank you for the tip!  I will keep it in mind as the summer goes on.

I took my friend to the doctors AND hospital yesterday. I waited on my own for 50 minutes while she was getting treatment. Thankfully I had some pain meds with me - the hospital lights gave me a headache.

Afterwards, I visited my older sister at home. She had her gallbladder out a few days ago. She needs rest now. I got her a get well card. I think she liked it.

  After moping about my shoulder pain, I did some online research and regained my scientific curiosity.
   I now have a couple of plans in mind for addressing the problem.  Curiosity straightens out my head.

Took a nice walk with Carla today and picked up the roadside trash on the section that I have "adopted" as my cleaning responsibility.  Not as many beer cans/bottles as I normally find!  Put the recyclables in recycling and the trash in the appropriate container!

Could it be bursitis? My shoulder hurt for more than 6 months before I caved and went to the doctor. He sent me for an ultrasound. I had that and got told I had bursitis. After that it rapidly got better on its own. I didn't need a cortisone injection.

What are your plans?

  I have found a half-dozen or so conditions online that could be what I have. 

  I rescheduled my orthopedic appointment for a week earlier, and I am going to have the shoulder X-rayed.
  Also, this morning I am going to call my doctor and get an appointment for tomorrow, because
  I'm getting worse by the day and I can't wait till next month.  Maybe she'll order an MRI.   

  Glad your bursitis cleared up, how long did it take?

Does it help to have hot water running over it when taking a shower?

  A little, but not for long.  I figured out that I can wash my hair, put it in the bun, and put on
  my bra by bending over to avoid the painful reaching upward.  I van manage for now, at least.

Thank goodness I hired a pool company to turn that algae mess in my yard back into a swimming pool. Best money I've spent this season beyond the house itself.

Removed superfluous hair without turning myself into a hideous mass of razorburn and itching like I usually do. Either I've finally hit upon the ideal routine, or my skin is starting to toughen up.

Isn't all human hair superfluous?

I think about 8 months. It was pretty mild and the main time it bothered me was when I was at the gym and couldn't do any of the shoulder weights.

I've been considering trying hair removal cream, but I've heard it can damage the skin if used incorrectly. Maybe I should practice on a small furry rodent first, just to be on the safe side.

every side of the rodent is safe to test on.

Do place before and after pics please.
