Floor Diving!

During the bed assembly project for artistic_chaos last night, I did a little floor diving. I lost my balance while standing in the midst of all the cross rails of the bed frame. I pretty much launched myself away from the bed, because that just didn't seem like a good place to fall. I ended up falling on the smooth floor (better than the bed frame) with my right arm stretched out above my head. My right shoulder felt a little sore last night, but it didn't really seem like a big deal. This morning I woke up with my shoulder hurting with most movement, so off to the doctor I go this afternoon. More later when I find out what they say.

Floor diving update

Hint for all you young people: Keep your arms properly engaged in their sockets or you will regret it later in life!

The doctors said it was highly unlikely that I did any serious additional damage to my shoulder. They think I just tweaked it hard enough to agravate the busitis that I already have from an old dislocation. They said to give it 7-10 days and come back for X-rays if its not feeling better. They didn't want to do an X-ray today, since I just had a shoulder X-ray series in October showing that I have a pinched rotator cuff.

Maybe this will be the straw that finally gets me to pursue treatment for my shoulder, rather than just ignoring the period bouts of pain that I get.
