Oh The Pain!

Isn't having gas great? I've felt the horrible pains in my back and a bit in my neck for awhile. But today, the pain in my shoulder is killer. Maybe ive just been over doing it the last 2 days I dont know. I decided to drive today. The dr told me to wait about 5 days to drive. Today is day 6. Im pretty sure the reason was to make sure I wasn't driving while on the lovely pain killers he gave me.

Anyway, I was feeling ok after being up for a little bit and decided to drive a few places. While at the Dollar Store, I felt like I was burning up. It wasnt hot in there, although its been quite warm outside. I kept sipping on my water. Finally I decided I needed to go out to the car and sit for a little bit in the AC. I was ok after awhile. Next stop was to Ross's. Walked around for awhile and the same thing happened. I found a place to sit for a little while and felt ok. So I got up and started walking around a bit again, and once again I felt horrible and started sweating big time! So I decided it was time for me to again go and sit in the AC. For some reason when I was in the car I was perfectly fine. But every time I went into a store, I felt like something was wrong.

Our final stop was the commissary to pick up a few groceries. I drolled as I went down every isle. Does anyone think I could take an oreo and soak it in milk untl its mush and then eat that next week during my "mushy foods" stage? Anyway I was doing alright and then the pain in my shoulder kicked in. Lord have mercy it freaking hurt. Nothing I did helped. I took up, I sat down, I walked around, I rubbed it, nothing! Finally Sean showed up. At that point the pain was so bad I didnt trust myself driving home. So we checked out and he followed me most of the way home until I felt comfortable enough.

The first thing I got when I walked in the door was my beloved gas-x medicine! I was really hoping I wouldnt have to take another pain pill today until bed time but being in so much pain, I gave in. So now, I sit on the couch with a heating pad on my shoulder which I think is helping. Hopefully Sean has a handle on dinner tonight because I dont feel like doing anything right now. I didnt realize just how much pain can take out of you. I think part of my problem is i havent had any of my protein shake today. Blah! I know I need to though. But an ice pop sounds so much more appitizing.

And if you're curious what I weighed in at today, check it out. I dont have to worry about meeting that goal on Monday. I weighed in at 350 today! Woohoo! Crazy to see this weight drop off so fast!
