No running for me this morning.  I'm planning on taking Melanie this afternoon.  I have either pinched a nasty nerve in my right shoulder/arm/neck/head (all of those are killing me), or I have dislocated it (the shoulder).  I haven't been able to kick this headache for the last 24 hours.  But, on a positive note, Melanie must have realized my head hurt because she was an angel last night.  :o) 

 

*** Added:  Melanie and I just finished 3.5 miles.  We ran to Red Mountain Park, ran around it 3 times (sharing the park with the Red Mtn HS Cross Country Team), and then ran home.  It was freaking HOT.  90 degrees! yuck!  I had to come home, it wasn't fair to Melanie to stay out much longer.  But she did have fun.  She was clapping and making happy noises.

How did you hurt yourself? Did you dislocate your shoulder in an arm wrestling competition; swinging on vines like Tarzan or tossing and turning in bed?

Oh I am so sorry! Yeeouch! Are you going to be able to get to the Dr. today? I was thinking of asking you for Bethany's chiropractor's number because I had a kinda similar thing happen on Sunday. REALLY tight and painful shoulder, neck, and probably the worst headache I've ever had in my life. (Are we just really in synch, or are headaches contagious?)

Rubbing it out and releasing the tight knots has helped. My poor hubby has been spending at least half an hour on it every day.

BTW I can tell you now that the Sat. long run is not going to happen for me this week. I've hurt my foot somehow and it is REALLY sore, even if I just walk on it.

I have no clue how I hurt myself. Maybe I slept on it funny. Brandon thinks it's from holding Melanie. I usually hold her with my left arm though. I do hold her with my right arm if she is in her carseat/carrier thingy, but that's maybe once a day for me (picking her up from the sitters). The Tarzan thing sounds like more fun.

Brandon cracked my back (gently) yesterday in hopes that he could remedy the problem. It helped a little bit, my back felt better (I didn't even know it hurt until then), but not my shoulder. I hadn't thought about going to a dr. though. I'm a Dr. whimp.

For that type of thing, I used to NEVER go to the Dr. until I "broke" ny neck in Yoga one day. I went to the chiropractor and I was better SO fast- like hours. I really recommend it! It's not from holding the baby :) GEt brave and go. You'll be glad you did. :)

Yes, doctors are your friend :) Don't make me send you the list of regrets the Monte's have from putting off doctor visits!

The sooner you go and get better, the sooner you'll be back out there, blowing through 10-milers like they're nothing :)

I have only been a chiro once and I was sick for the rest of the day. I'm scared!

From marion on Tue, Oct 21, 2008 at 12:21:33

The first time I went it made me sick too. Now I love it, but I go for specific injuries. If you can find a good sports medicine chiro, you will be VERY happy! Take Rachels advise- don't wait too long. ;)

Oh, I am so sorry!! What is it with us, we are all falling apart all of the sudden!

Take care of ourself, whatever you decide to do!!

From Camille on Tue, Oct 21, 2008 at 14:55:32

I know, we are all falling apart! What is going on?

Marion - I hate to say "I'm glad you got sick from the chiro", but I am happy that I'm not the only one who has had that experience. It makes me feel a little more normal. Brandon has promised me a massage from a local massage theorpy place that I (for reasons that I can't explain) haven't taken him up on yet. Perhaps I'll take him up on it now and see if that helps.

From marion on Tue, Oct 21, 2008 at 15:11:47

The Dr's wife said that it happens a lot to first timers. The adjustments must "release" some "junk" that makes us ill ;) GO ANYWAY :) The massage sounds WONDERFUL!!!

From Camille on Tue, Oct 21, 2008 at 19:40:50

hmm, that's good to know. So, I made an appointment. :o)

From Kelli on Wed, Oct 22, 2008 at 14:15:09

THAT IS HOT!!!! And to think, by yesterday afternoon here it was like 40 degrees (with he wind). BRRRR

Way to get out there and get it done! Hope you are felling better soon.
