Oof!

You know how I said yesterday that my shoulder was getting better? Well on the way in from the car yesterday evening I tripped in a small hole in the yard and fell forward. I saved my ankle by collapsing, but landed by catching myself with both arms. It could have been worse: I cushioned the fall by keeping my arms bent. But my shoulder hurts again

Oh, that sucks! I am no stranger to lingering shoulder injuries (and no fan of them either!) Although the nice thing about them is they force you to soak in hot baths with epsom salts. :-P

Hope your shoulder is back on the mend! Stay warm!

I did just that last night! Aaahhhh. Luckily I had just bought a new bag at Meijer. My shoulder is doing much better today. No pain, just some soreness. Yay!

You should apply cold packs for 20 minutes at a time at least 4x/day for 48 hours. I hope it gets better soon.

I thought about putting an ice pack on it last night, but went for the hot Epsom salt bath instead. My shoulder is much better today: no pain, just some stiffness. If it starts aching again I think I may pull out the frozen peas and the hot pad. It's a great excuse to watch a movie!
