A few weeks ago, I pulled my shoulder while loading some cups and saucers
onto a shelf at work. I told my boss, but it wasn't a huge deal, so I
just decided to let it get better. It hasn't. I have to find out tonight
what I need to to in order to see a doctor about it. Wish I had filled
out an incident report that day. (I still can't lift my arm over my head,
and certain movements (especially when holding something that weighs more
than a few ounces) hurt a lot. (And I can't sleep right, because I sleep
on my right side, and it smooshes my right shoulder to do that.)) Ooh,
parenthesis madness!

Anyway, I noticed that some of my friends are ouchy and/or grouchy today,
and I wanted to grump for a minute in solidarity. :-)

(I now have an ice pack. Yay for being on the floor with the clean towels *and* a functioning ice machine.)

Maybe they will let you do a retroactive incident report.

Ouch

Doc S. here. Do you still have our blue ice pack you used to keep some food cool a while back? If so, freeze it and use it. I often sleep on my ice pack so that might help since you sleep on that shoulder anyway. If nothing else it numbs it a little and might allow you to sleep better. And Ibuprofen - more than you like to take, I'm sure. It is worrisome that it's been a week. And fill out a incident report now, it's never to late to document esp. since you did mention it to your boss.

My body was more cranky than normal this morning. So I will add to your moment of solidarity for all the little (or not so little) grumpies of life.

it's been nearly a month. I keep waiting for it to get better. It's not getting better. I'll try the ice thing tonight. Thanks! *smooch*

Body shops for humans. That's what we need.

Eep! I hope the seeing-a-doctor thing turns out to be not too difficult, and useful...

The bosses I have had would have insisted you filled out an incident report immediately. That was one of the things they stressed to me whenever I was in charge of a property, Weird.
Anyway sorry your are in pain hope it get better soon.
