Willow ,'Lessons'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Thanks, sj.
So. Um. My right shoulder just cracked really loudly (my left shoulder, the one that's generally the bad one, does this all the time, but it's new for my right shoulder), and I felt something weird in my right bicep, and now that bicep feels like it's burning. Like, the muscle itself feels like it's burning, and the skin over it feels warm to the touch. I have no idea what just happened, but I don't like it.
Hil, does your insurance company have some sort of LPN on call that you can ring up and ask? I really hope it's not what I think it is, but then again, it would look *really* 'bruised' if it was.
Sooo. I went to book club meeting. It was at a swanky Mexican bar/restaurant. Normally I just get a water. But was easily talked into trying a Mexican Margarita by cute waitress. I took a couple big sips. eh. Not bad, not WOW! but I can drink this. Cute co-worker was like "oh, I've always wondered what they taste like, can I?" Um, Ya! Apparently that thing was pure booze. Me? No clue. Thankfully I stopped drinking it after that next sip. 10 minutes later. Ya. Felt it. Feeling it. Yum. Feels great, but glad I stopped, or no driving home for me. WOW! And that was only 1/4 of the glass, if that! So what's that say about my ability to drink? My mouth used to be an early warning for hard liquor. Apparently not any more! If I make it to the F2F, something tells me, I'm gonna be drunk off my ass.
It doesn't look bruised at all, but it does look kind of red.
If this is anything that can possibly wait until Monday, then it will. I so don't have time to deal with any new injuries this weekend.
There is a nurse on call, but since it's already nighttime, I know that the advice will either been Aleve and ice or ER, and I am not going to the ER tonight. I can do Aleve and ice.
And after looking at a muscle diagram, I think that's my brachialis, not my bicep.
Omnis, you're thinking muscle tear? That was my first thought.
OK. Got ice on it now, whatever it is.
And it can't be too bad. Because the universe isn't actually mean enough to injure my right arm when I've already got an injured left arm and I'm going on a plane by myself with carryon luggage tomorrow, right?
Omnis, you're thinking muscle tear? That was my first thought.Actually, with the burning sensation, I was wondering if it tore an artery or something. But then there would be internal pooling, and give a nasty bruising. Mind you, I am no where near a medical professional. I learned more watching House than than I've ever known, so don't go by what my Mexican Margarita'd brain was thinking.
Well, it's still kind of red, but no bruising that I can see. Well, OK, there's a little bit of bruising, but I'm not sure if that was there before.
sj, my condolences.
Hil, you got any spare slings? I'd avail myself of them for the airport and hope it engendered kindness. Or just ask for help at the counter. I'm one of those people that always helps out parents travelling solo with wee ones and folks who are visibly having physical issues, but if I don't see a cue, I don't know. I hope you meet a helper tomorrow.
So I am soon up to date on LOST. 5 seasons in a few months, right? I go to add LOST to the DVR. It's on the same time as LIFE. Not fair. Want both shows. t /whine
{{{Hil}}} That is completely unfair. Feel better.
