Lately I've been feeling all of "middle aged" and I'm not all that fond of it. How did this era of my life sneak up on me like this? One minute, I'm in my twenties and carefree and the next I'm almost forty and bogged down with life. No fair.
This summer I used my incredible depth perception skills to misjudge a step into my neighbors pool and did a beautiful fall right onto their jacuzzi w/ my rear end. After a few days of denying it was broken, I finally realized I'd broken my tail bone. 4 months later and it only hurts if I sit for too long especially on a surface like concrete. Otherwise, that pain has finally become manageable.
So leave it to me to hurt myself again as soon as I'm getting back to normal. Last Wednesday, I rearranged our file room at work. By Thursday afternoon, my right shoulder blade was killing me so I figured I'd pulled a muscle or strained something back there. Then Friday, whenever I would drink something - the minute the liquid hit mid-chest area - a pain would shoot thru me and cause me to cry out. I have a pretty good pain threshold so you have to understand that for me to cry out - it really really hurt. This shooting pain has occurred off and on since Friday. Usually when I drink something, sometimes when I eat something and occasionally when I'm doing nothing at all. I went to the dr. on Monday afternoon because the fact that it was getting worse was scarring me. I guess he thought it was a legit complaint because he sent me next door to make an appointment for a chest xray and an upper GI. Lucky me.
This morning I had them both done and am waiting for results. In the meantime, the crap they made me drink is upsetting my stomach and the way I'm having to sit to accommodate my shoulder pain and stomach ache is killing my tailbone!!!!!
I'm just a 39 year old mess of a woman. That is all there is too it. My feet ache all the time, now the rest of my body is joining in. My hearing is going, my memory is shot, and I pee on myself when I laugh. Who would have thought 39 was the beginning of the end??
I would just love to go for any length of time w/o pain in some part of my body. Is that too much to ask? Can't wait to turn 49 - YIKES!!!!
