Ravings of a Textual Deviant

My shoulder, which had previously been giving me grief, is much improved after a visit to the doctor. I have an inflamed AC joint, which is where the clavicle hooks into the shoulder. As much as it actually hooks in–the doc gave me a quick overview of the Anatomy of the Shoulder, and as the joint is actually held together by muscles, it does not actually “hook into” anything.

The practical upshot of this was a prescription anti-inflammatory, which is doing a wonderful job. I felt better almost immediately–which was quite a relief, as I was getting to the point of not being able to lift heavy things, like a glass of water. The down side of the ’scrip is that I can’t take aspirin with it…and that means I can’t take my migraine drug of choice. Tylenol just doesn’t do the job, and I went home early on Friday, trying to figure out a way to chew off my own head. I missed my Friday night D & D game because I didn’t even want to get out of bed, let alone attempt driving to the south side of town. I had a headche hangover most of Saturday, too.

But my arm works, and that is certainly a good thing.
