Side-Route

The smell of herbs and spices mingle in the air as mother pushes about peppers, onions and tomatoes in a marinade for shish-ka-bobs. The dog is smacking her lips together licking her hair face from her recent supper endeavors and searching the neighborhood from her high window perch for bunnies and kitties. Eggs are bouncing about in boiling water, slowly cooking from the outside in and a finch is singing loudly calling for its mate in the tree just outside. The Skankaroos are blaring from the computer speakers, mom can hardly stand still as her feet find the beat and the rest of her body follows suite.
You've probably all heard lately about the adventure I've been on. As most know my shoulder was injured in December from a "sledding" incident that was lacking a sled at all and instead in its place my back was used. And instead of sliding down the hill as planned, my shoulder dug into the hard snow and I did a few somersaults backwards. 3 months of Phsyio and I thought I was set to go...however my shoulder decided otherwise. The evening before Tuesday was an evening of hell.
I woke with an pain I'd rarely felt before, never with my shoulder. After lying there for who knows how long I rolled out of bed and went up to my mom in tears, being taken into emerge for a 5 hour wait. By the end I couldn't take the drugs he prescribed as I have an intolerance to Codine. So after another painful 3 hours of dozing I got up in hopes I could go to the walk in and get different pain killers. It wasn't until 5.00 Tuesday that I was able to take some after the x-ray technician made me do an aerobics class and blood had been drawn from my purple veins. So I took the night off, lying with a throbbing shoulder and fish swimming in my vision, high off narcotics.
By Wednesday I was bored out of my mind lying around and watching television. A phone call and a trip to the walk in had me pumping iron into my system and waiting patiently for more results.
How is it now that it's Friday? A worlds difference. After lying around like a floppy voodoo doll with my acupuncturist pushing needles into ever muscle possible and popping anti-inflammatory's constantly I can safely say I can move my arm quite well. Whether that'll last, who knows? An MRI has been scheduled and my fall Russia trip has been suspended as I don't have the money to cover all the expenses. Further updates shall come within the next week. Thank you for the prayers.
Peace.
