Ok, so I should be done with the Slim in 6 program...but I'm not. I got 2 weeks of it in, and had to stop.
My job sometimes sucks. People think I just sit behind a window and push a button but it's a lot more than that. On a daily basis at work, I slid patients. We use this plastic surfboard thing, slide it under their sheets and pull them over to the table. It fucking sucks.
I don't mind sliding people who really can't move, but 90% of the time it's because they're lazy. There I fucking said it!
Mid May I injured my sternum. Costochondritis is inflammation of the cartilage around your sternum, and it hurt like a mother fucker. I couldn't sit properly, laugh, forget sleeping. It sucks. No matter how I moved, it hurt. Once I started feeling better, I started getting active again.
Low and behold, another injury. My neck and left shoulder have been fucked up for almost 2 weeks now. My scapula still doesn't feel right. Sometimes my AC joint pops out of place, and I have to get it set back in. I've had this problem for a long time, but didn't think it related that much to my scapula. Apparently it does. It's hard to describe what it feels like, but the spine of my scapula hurts, I can't really rotate my arm without cringing. It's like when you break something, and you move it just right and have searing pain up or down it. I've barely got sleep in the past 2 weeks, I feel like I'm falling apart. This blows. I'm not a whimp either. I've broke my arm, both ankles multiple times, and have had to set my shoulder back in place myself. I walked on a broken ankle for a week before I decided to get it checked out, I thought I sprained it. Nope. I was stuck in a cast for 8 months.
I swear, by the time I'm 40 I'm going to need a spinal fusion. I have a limited amount of people around once my shift goes into evenings, so getting more than one person to help out is a challenge. This week at work is going to be interesting, I'm not sure what I'm going to do.
While I'm technically out of commission for who knows when, I'm still eating right and portion controlling. I set myself to a goal of losing a minimum for 3lbs/week. It's not that hard to do, I've done it before. Just have to stick with it!
