Pain and Suffering

Yeah, another upbeat entry from yours truly. :-/

I have had a lot of pain in my right shoulder and the side of my neck. Like it hurts to turn my head kind of pain. I have been blaming it on sleeping wrong, but since I don't know how to sleep right, something is gonna have to give.

Though I am still recovering from my fall on the stairs last week, I decided the dogs HAD to be walked today. It was getting pathetic watching them walk through the house holding their leashes. So S and I decided to take the two for an afternoon stroll. Most of the walk was uneventful. Near the end, however, we saw a man approaching with two small dogs of his own. Knowing Maggie's anticanine tendencies, we started to cut through a common area to avoid the little dogs. Man decided to do so too. Maggie literally pulled me off my feet and drug me to try and get to the interlopers. Eventually my greater strength (weight) halted her forward progress. When I stood up, my other ankle hurt. It is 6 hours later now and it has continued to get worse all afternoon. I can barely get around even with crutches.

I'd complain that I can't catch a break, but I fear I may have.

  1. But at least she saved you from those interlopers. Good dog, Maggie.

    I hope you didn't really break your ankle. Cause, um, that would, uh, suck.
