Farewell to Arm, ha ha

SLEEPLESS IN VANCOUVER

28/02/2016, 01:36, PST, Sunday, my place, 5°C drizzle , MOOD 40/60 in pain

After two nights of no sleep and considerable pain I finally took myself to Emergency at St. Paul's. They xRayed the shoulder and filled me full of pain killers and I got temporary relief.

Their diagnosis was that I had what they called something about a knot in the muscle called a pinched nerve which they couldn't do anything except proscribe painkillers and perhaps cortisone shots when I see my GP.

Missed calling Ian, (was in the hospital) and they want you to keep your phone turned off, Anyway, Happy Birthday Ian.

Talked to Heather in the early afternoon and she wants to make my 80^th a big deal. So will work on a guest list and possible site depending on how many RSVP. It was good to hear from her and Eloi and Maya and of course The Dude.

The pain is down to dull roar and I had a piece of chicken pot pie and a chocolate chip cookie and a glass of V8 juice and watched part of a hockey game, Ian's team beat Calgary and watched part of Foyle's War but gave it up half way through because I'd seen it before.

Put my head down and fell asleep only to wake up with a start when I rolled on the bad arm so took some more pain killers and wrote this blog.

my reward breakfast!
