We got up extra early this morning, because the beau wanted to pick up an E-bay purchase in Bendigo, and he had persuaded me to come along by suggesting we drop into the Woollen Mills beforehand.
For some reason I woke up with much, much worse pain in my right shoulder, arm and hand. I can’t move my arm backwards, or twist in certain ways, and the back of my hand actually burns from time to time. I think it’s time for a visit to the osteo.
Anyway, I figured I could sit in a car for a few hours. It wouldn’t be painless, but if I stayed home I’d be tempted to do naughty things like knitting.
2 1/2 hours later we stop outside the closed gates of Bendy, staring in disbelief at the “closed on Saturday” sign.
“Crap!” I said. Then: “Crap!”
All I can say is, it’s just as well it was a ‘tag-along’ visit, or I would have been furious. THIS is why Bendy needs a website. They need a way to tell loyal customers when the shop won’t be open at times it’s normally open so they don’t make a freaking 5 hour waste of a trip.
In fact, they could have mentioned on their last ‘SALE SALE SALE’ brochure that the shop would be closed on the 16th. All it says is that the sale ends on the 15th.
Mutter. Mutter.
And my arm still hurts.
Get thee to a physio! I had a couple of appointments, and my hands are much, much better now. It sounds very much like you have a similar problem to the one I had- the muscles in your neck and shoulders putting pressure on the nerves in your hands.
By the way, it’s a little bit chillier than usual tonight. Guess which jumper I’m wearing?
Would that be… could it be…?
The Zhivago Jumper?!!
Wheeeeeee!
I agree with you on the shoulder/hand thing. With anti-inflammatories and a night’s rest things settled down so I could pinpoint that the shoulder joint is the source. The masseur wrenched it a bit before I could warn her it doesn’t have as much movement in it as the left one. I’ll be ringing the osteo first thing tomorrow.
Mutter mutter grumble indeed! I realised after the sale ended that I did indeed want some yarn… sigh.
Hmm, arm sounds yuck. I put my neck out lots and my chiro is my friend (literally. LOL). Comes from being Too Bendy. (but not Bendi)
Drabbit all orund. Make sure you organise with Tess when we’re meeting in Melbourne and I’ll buy you a chocolate or something as balance to the pain. I arrive 9 January – time is running out!
