Taking Jim for Granted

Doesn't that sound like the name of a movie or something? Or perhaps just "Taking Jim" sounds better. Either way, I am taking Jim for granted.

The other day he said that I hadn't written anything about him on my blog in awhile which I thought was an attempt at some attention so I better do it and the fact that it is totally true. I haven't heeded him the attention that he deserves.

As you know, I've had a shoulder/neck injury so bad that at the Seahawks game last week I sat crying for two reasons, one they sucked and two I was in an intense amount of pain even on lots of painkillers, anti-inflammatories, and muscle relaxers. So in comes Jim's part in all of this. The doctor literally said "any time you can get a massage-do, it will help." So I took that as "any time you can get Jim to give you a massage-do." So I did. In the last 16 days, for as long as this has been going on, he has been whole-heartedly giving me massages whenever I asked or even looked in pain. Just another reason I love him. Oh and he makes me dinner a lot, oh and he prints things out for me at his office a lot, oh and he brings all my heavy bags in and out of my car, oh and he's freakin' adorable.

Injury Stops Training

So for the past week I have been in such intense pain. So much pain that I couldn't even lift my arms to wash my hair in the shower. I have done something to my trapezius so the doctor thinks. I think she is full of crap. She gave me medicine to reduce the inflammation but no pain medicine. Luckily I called my uncle up and he gave me a blessing and some prescription ibuprofen which has helped a little. I really am just shocked at how much I'm in pain. Seriously I'm in pain, sitting, standing, walking, anything. I'm just in constant pain and it had gone on for 9 days now. I can't sleep and I'm just frustrated. My muscle relaxers that I had from a previous injury don't even alleviate anything which makes me think it isn't a muscle injury. I am willing to try anything. But first, I just need something for the pain.
