Sorry I have been so quiet lately...

I was in a car accident last Tuesday. Don't worry nothing major just really sore, especially my right (read dominant) arm. I was getting into the back of the vehicle when the driver, deciding I must be in already, started to drive away. I ended up doing a 180 degree turn, landing on my back. I am not even sure how I did NOT hit my head!

So off to the emergency room, again (second time in 2 weeks). Nothing is broken although the ER doc was concerned about rotator cuff injury. I still do not have much movement with this arm and still in considerable amount of pain. Considering I am in constant chronic pain, that is saying something. So off to the clinic today and see if there are any other suggestions. I am almost done my prescription for T3's and the pain hasn't let up. If I had been given a choice about staying on the percocet (sp?) I would have. Others point out that I must be doing better because I am on only the Tylenol 3's, like I said if given a choice I would have stayed on the stronger stuff.

I have been off work for almost a week and the boss gave me another week off, so 2 weeks off work already does not bode well for my new job.

Here's hoping that I will get a better idea of how to deal with the pain.
