Wednesday, May 14: Urgent Care for Shoulder

Well today after a very awful night of no sleep and extreme shoulder pain, I managed to squeeze in two hours of real sleep. That pain was was exquisitely horrible oh my God I couldn’t sleep. Mary did her best to try to take care of my 

situation and I spread out on the floor just sleeping on my back buy I don’t sleep on my back with pain. Eventually, I crawled the bed around 10 o’clock and slept till 1:30 PM after I got up, I decided not to go to work 

and decided to try to find a new doctor, but they weren’t gonna be able to see me till July and I thought well, I’ll be dead by then if I don’t see somebody. So Mary gave me an idea of going


 to Jefferson urgent care right on 20th and Chestnut. I was seen in a half hour. They were very efficient I had they did an x-ray on my left shoulder. They found that there is no tear. There was a strained muscle the 

same one the massage therapist came up with he recommended. She recommended the same exercises and gave me a script for 600 mg ibuprofen 

and a muscle relaxing. That will be taken at night when the pain really kicks in so I picked up my scripts just now and I’m getting a sweater
for Mary. It’s now around 4 PM. Obviously I’m

 not gonna be going to Yoga for the rest of this week and probably not till late next week it’s the rate I’m going I don’t know. Well, I got back to Mary’s ate a 

sandwich hung out for a bit and then I took a nap before going to my 7 o’clock choir rehearsal for the pride concert. Rehearsal was fairly intense considering I went through like 55 pieces in 2 1/2 hours. Of course the room was really chilly and it’s still misty rain outside as of 9:55 PM. I’m not in great pain, but it’s like a throbbing presence in my head as well as my body. It’s just beginning I’m already sick of it! Anyway, I just hope I can sleep tonight that would make a big difference
