I got so much done yesterday. I cleaned, worked out, worked on my essay, went for a walk, got some baking done. I mean, what else could you ask for? I was feel pretty good :-)
Later this morning, I started getting some pain in my left shoulder. Then it got really bad and started going down my arm, all the way to my hand. My mom thought it must have been from carrying a water bottle on my walk. Honestly, I thought that I wouldn't have to deal with that...........it wasn't THAT much weight. SO, I called my physical therapist and he agreed that it was probably from carrying a water bottle. The weight pulling my 'straight' arm kind of tugged on my loose shoulder. Usually, when it hurts or feels like the joint has slipped out of place in the socket, I can move my arm a certain way and it will pop back. It didn't work this time. So I'm not sure what happened to it: just what made it hurt.
The game plan is to ice it and when I go for a walk I need to make sure that my elbow is bent when I carry my water bottle. The act of accommodating with EDS!!! I'm not sure about you, but right now I'm thinking...........who usually has to worry about how they carry a simple water bottle?? At least it sounds crazy :P
As for a little update. My ankle still the same. My hip is a little worse. I have an appointment with a really good hip doctor for.................hmm.......well...........December. We are on the cancellation list, don't worry :-) I was officially discharged several weeks ago! And my physical therapist did say I could go surfing in a few weeks!! I'm SO excited!!! I'm trying to figure out what kind of braces I'm going to need to get.
As for tomorrow, it's a horseback riding trial and a 2nd art class in the morning. We will see if I end up sleeping the afternoon away :-) Tomorrow is my active day. I try to take one day off and rest between active days. It seems to work fairly well. I just need to still pace myself on the busy days and not pack too much stuff into them :-)
