Another bad night’s sleep. At some point I felt a screw driver was being jammed into my left shoulder. I tried all my remedies. An Excedrin followed by melatonin. Half an Atkins bar. Ice. Relation exercises. Deep breathing. Massage. I could touch it exactly where it hurt. For hours I could not sleep with this pain. Then I remembered one thing I hadn’t tried because I packed it away thinking I wouldn’t need it. My heating pad with a vibrator setting. I put it on my shoulder. It felt good (surprise), After a while I shut off the vibrator and just left the heat. Soon I was asleep.
I had set my alarm for 6:30 so I could participate in my Pittsburgh meditation group at 7:30. No matter how tired I am I love this group.
Afterwards I exercised, did PT exercises, showered, ate lunch, laid down with my heated throw for 20 minutes. Everything helped me get through the day. I’m still exhausted.
