Yea For The Burn Out and Shadow Day!

I'm  feeling pretty good these days.  The bursitis burn out is complete!  I am so thankful to be able to use my arms!  I am so thankful that I don't have to take the pain meds any more.  They make me feel funny.  I don't really understand how people could enjoy the way they feel on these pills and become addicted, but that is another topic for another time.  Now I have been playing catch up on all the things I didn't do while I was becoming best friends with ice. 


On to Shadow Day.


 Savannah went to the high school yesterday for shadow day.  She got to shadow a guy from our ward for two classes.  She loved it!  She was so excited for high school before shadow day, now even more so.  She was one of the lucky ones that didn't have to do any work in the classes they went to.  She went to a Chemistry class and did nothing much.  They took a quiz.  Then she got a tour of the school.  Then she went to an English II class.  She loved it.  They watched commercials and discussed the literary devices used.  Everyone she met in the halls during class changes were so nice to her.  This got her excited for the Freshman meeting they will have next week.  She will get her 2014 t shirt, and get introduced to clubs.  I am sure I'll get to hear all the fun things, like curriculum requirements and the amount of money I'll have to pay in school fees, as well as schedule a time that Savannah and I can meet with her guidance counselor to pick her classes for next week.  At least one of us will have fun.

Waiting For The Burn Out

I have bursitis in my left shoulder.  Or so we think anyway.  I went to the doctor a little over a week ago and he informed me that bursitis can take up to 4-6 weeks to burn out.  My shoulder has already been hurting since the end of December. (Not Fun)  So now I play the waiting game.  Waiting for the bursitis to burn out.  Morning- no pain, afternoon- discomfort, evening- pain, take pain pills and become best friends with the ice on my shoulder, after dinner more ice, put on the patch for pain relief (love the patch), more pain pills if it is time and always more ice (did I mention how I love the ice?), try to sleep.  Repeat daily.


I don't think I have ever appreciated the workings of a shoulder until now.


I don't mean to complain, just tired of pain and feeling lazy. So I watch the snow fall outside my window and wait for the burn out.
