I have always been amused by top flight footballers, athletes etc who are benched by physical aches and pains. I know that is mean because they do practise very hard and must put their bodies under a lot of pressure. As a much less fit person than I used to be ,I have no right to judge.
However, for months now, after a minor incident, I have tendinitis in my shoulder: That has meant unbelievable pain and restricted movement and worse still any repetitive movement means increased pain. Although the pain is no longer literally breath taking: sometimes I have not been able to breathe when I made a sudden movement, it still disturbs my sleep and restricts my hobbies.
Why am I sharing this on my blog, because I miss doing something with my hands. A few days ago, I was celebrating no painkillers for days and only a slight discomfort at night so I cut some board to make mini books for a Christmas decoration. I know it is January but when the muse hits I like to go with it.
Now the ache is back, I don’t want to go back to the pain meds but I am so bored. BORED BORED BORED. Should I give in and take some so I can ‘work’ or should I listen to my shoulder which is obviously majorly pissed off at me.
In case you haven’t guessed, I am trying to make a Christmas tree from books, inside a glass bauble.
