Last weekend I did a foolish thing and attempted to unstuck our riding lawn mower after a wheel came off the ramp into the shed and the mower couldn't back up.
I managed to move it using wood I had laying around like a lever, but in doing so I fucked up my shoulders and neck. On top of that I have been sick, low apatite and a cough. Yet on top of THAT, kid 2 gave us about 4 hours of sleep last night.
I'm dogging it. No fevers at all, so not sure what I have, but probably something from either daycare or work (students are back, with all their summer germs).
Here is hoping for better sleep tonight.
Sounds rough comrade, hope you recover soon and your kid catches up on sleep tonight!
Thanks! I've been doing stretches all week and I think most of my neck and shoulder pain has subsided. It doesn't help I sit for most of the day. I've been trying to do some light walking too. Seems to help.
Sounds like the right approach. My wife is a PTA if you want me to ask her for any exercises/stretches that might help, though I know it's harder for her without seeing the injury in person.
Its all good, appreciate it though!
May you find the one position that doesn't hurt while you're getting to sleep and also doesn't cause you to hurt when you wake up
Lol I've been sleeping with one of the squish-mallows the kids have and it is somehow better then the two pillows I usually have.
I fudged my shoulder up too, but I think it was from looking at it wrong or something. Or I’m just getting older.
Hope a good night’s rest fixes yours!
Brutal, hope you're pulling through ok
Neck pain and shoulder pain are basically gone. Hopefully that means my body can focus on dealing with this virus I have.
There is a stomach bug that seems to be going around where you get either a low grade fever or none at all but you are basically in and out of the bathroom doing the number 2 and vomiting for the next 48 hours. We all got it last weekend and had to just let it ride.
Hope you get well soon.
Ironically enough, I had a 102.2 fever last night, and woke up with a 101.4 fever this morning... Took some Tylenol, and it knocked the fever right out, though. I was sweating like a pig when the fever broke, really gross. Turns out a co-worker is also sick too, we're both out today.
