Pushing through.

I somehow managed to hurt my shoulder yesterday. Despite my (now) daily walks around the neighborhood with stroller, or my attempt at eating better and cutting back on the smokes, I can not raise my shoulder above my chest. Apparently healthier lifestyle has little to no jurisdiction with the muscles inside of the shoulder joint.

It's been hurting for a couple of days now, but I'm one that believes the best thing to do for soreness in the body is to work it out and push through. So yesterday while I was pushing through at the park, I was holding Connor on my left hip, with the left arm and he decides that he wants to get down. The way he has decided to demonstrate this is to simply throw his entire body weight towards the ground, so naturally I throw up whatever hand is not supporting him and catch him. Moving him back up and into the "on" position.

Although yesterday when I caught him, something snapped. Something in my already sore shoulder. This snap resulted in me not being able to get open the mini-van sliding door without some significant pain or work the auto gear shift with my right arm at all. Everytime I tried it felt like my arm was having a contraction.

So I did the alternate hot-cold thing, took some Aleve and whined to Jorma when he got home, all making my arm feel a little, but not much better. So this morning it still hurts, Connor is coming down with a cold and wants to be picked up constantly... the thing about being a Mommy is you never get sick days.
