My Single Mom Life

We have no idea how it happened, but it's definitely torn.
I have to keep it in a across my chest position as much as possible, he gave me a sling to wear to help but understands that I am a mom who has mom things to do. He said I definitely have to wear it over night though.
He then gave me a script for something stronger to help with the pain, and those Flector patches.
It's basically a NSAID, anti-inflammatory, that you wear on the skin and it helps with the inflammation.
I also got 2 trigger point injections directly into that muscle, which can take 2-3 days to start working.
That freaking hurt. hahaha
Nothing like a needle going right into the very spot the pain is in, and having a medication that burns upon entry, when you're already in pain.
W00t! Know you're alive man!

Then my friend who drove me there, took me to Walgreen's to get my script filled, and then we went to lunch.
I had the most awesome cheeseburger I've had in awhile, and then we came home and I helped her pay her car insurance online now that her computer is back up and running.
They had to come and fix her lines, and I cleaned out her pc with compressed air.
Man, it was filthy in there. Filled with gobs of thick black dust.
No wonder it was over heating and shutting itself off.

I'm home now and have stuff to catch up on.
My shoulder is still burning from that stuff he injected, and he was totally cool about the whole co-pay thing.
I told them yesterday I was broke, and so when he said he had to give me those injections, I told him I couldn't afford them.
He said it's ok, you can pay for it next time, which is next week.
I should have money by then. I hope. hahaha
he also gave me some spray on Biofreeze, which I also have to pay for next week.
At least he's cool about the whole money thing.
Other doctors would have laughed at me and said suffer woman.
No pay, no relief.
Yay for a cool doc!
