edenfalling | no writing today, on account of PAIN being kind of distracting

My right shoulder is still killing me despite my having done nothing today -- I have been doing things entirely with my left hand every time I remember, and have not lifted anything heavier than my hairdryer (and that only for about two minutes).

So I contacted a local medical practice and asked to set up an appointment. Since I did that via email, who knows how long it will take to get a reply. But at least I have started the process.

I also looked up sprained shoulders online, since I have no idea what else might account for my symptoms. (I am pretty sure it's not dislocated. That I think I would have spotted much sooner.) And I have to say, my squick reaction at medical diagrams is still present and accounted for. It's funny -- faced with actual blood and injury, I am perfectly sanguine, but faced with a sanitized diagram of the exact same problem? I flinch and get nauseated. (I have the same reaction to stuff I did while working for Pat, incidentally. Doing it was no problem. Thinking about it afterward? Ewwww.)

The mind and body are strange and mysterious things.
