I'm self-diagnosing here. My right arm, especially the elbow area, has been hurting for a few weeks now. I get shooting pains up and down my arm and have pain pretty much constantly. I bought some Icy Hot today and happened to notice an elbow wrap for people who have tennis elbow. Upon look up information on the internet, it can also be caused by using the computer keyboard and mouse. I have had an addiction to computer solitaire for sometime and I think I've overdone it. So now I have to really limit my time and hope my arm heals in time.
Today was such a beautiful day. Let the slop begin. I can endure the mud and yuck because the temps are warmer and the snow will melt. I know winter isn't over, but maybe - just maybe - Punxatony Phil was right. A girl can hope....
This morning I drove to Cedar Falls to go to Wal-Mart and had a bad experience there. Boo! If it weren't so inexpensive to shop there I think I'd quit. Oh well. Then I stopped by Jimmy Johns and brought sandwiches home for Mike's and my lunch. He had been at a meeting at the church from 9:00 to noon. I got home at 12:30. Then at 2:00 I went over to the church for the ladies' Valentine Tea. That was a nice time. Came home and at 4:00 Mike and I took Rowdy and went for a walk on the snow-covered trail. Walked for about 45 minutes. Poor Rowdy was a mess by the time we got back so we dumped him in the sink and gave him a much needed bath.
Decided to have breakfast for dinner. Mike doesn't like breakfast for dinner, but I was in the mood for waffles. Since I'm the chief cook, I decided. :) I also fixed eggs and little smokies. We watched an episode of the Gaither's and now I'm watching The Wizard of Oz while texting with Ben. Dorothy is in Munchkinland right now. Got to be careful of my tennis elbow though. Mike is resting his back.
Tomorrow is the last day of the weekend. So sad that it goes by so quickly. Hoping to go for another walk tomorrow afternoon, but Rowdy doesn't get to go. I don't want to bathe him everytime. Next week we have parent teacher conferences so I have to stay at school until 7:00 on Tuesday and Thursday, BUT I get Friday off! Yeah!!
You have been on my mind a lot today so it was nice to check in here and see an update.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got to walk, too bad for Rowdy his walks will have to wait ;)
I hope your elbow get's better soon, no fun to deal with pain.
Miss you - love you :)
I was thinking about you too! I was wondering when you were going to post again. I hear you about tennis elbow! My arm was hurting a lot there for awhile. I bought that arm thing and stretched my arm more. I believe it is much better, at least it quit waking me up in the middle of the night! Plus I think lifting weights helped me too. Either way, I am relieved the pain has semi-stopped, I must be careful too.
