I've arrived at my cousins place out west that I'm catsitting at for the next month. It's one of those soulless rabbit warren new estates but the house itself is actually really nice (they supervised the build and did a lot of rectifications) Cat is fairly happy with her own company but still appreciates a human to dish out the wet food..
Despite a second physio visit my neck and shoulders are still feeling awful. Flat out of money until i get paid tomorrow night, but on top of buying me groceries of my exact favourite brands and leaving the house in a very clean and cozy state, my cousin and partner have very generously left a $500 gift card. What a lovely feeling. Going to use that on a massage this weekend. I'm disgustingly exhausted ...
For some reason the new new estates with 0 trees are just the fucking worst hey. I’m in a 2000’s estate and yeah look it’s not great, but at least they had the forethought to put in some feature trees.
To be fair it takes time for the trees to grow. But the endless colorbond monument and the tiny trees struggling because the developers didn't give a shit, and the eaves just about touching each other...
I am appreciating the quietness though, I'll say that much
No idea if I pinched a nerve. Honestly maybe I did but the physio keeps going on about stress and I'm like yeah I know that's an issue but I think something specific has happened here
You can sort of hurt yourself from bunching and hunching up your shoulders for an extended time like I have done or leaning one to one side unnaturally.
I’ve done a pinched nerve twice. One time I stretched in bed and felt the twinge and intense pain. It’ll slowly get worse over time and you won’t be able to move much due to the pain as time goes on.
Needed strong anti inflammatory meds for both occasions.
Did you feel anything or remember anything like a sharp pain or twinge between all the pain came to be what it was?
:( great I guess I might have to deal with this for a while. Friend is taking me to a sauna room tomorrow, hopefully it helps. And yes, well spotted. She's not allowed outside but it's on her just in case she does a runner while the door's open (or I can't find where she's hiding...) She's not a fan. Clunky
Neck and shoulder pains are so horrible, ugh! Those rabbit warren estates are soulless at night. I grew up near one and I went to parties as a teen where I was actually grateful for hearing cold chisel. Keep us posted.
I won't lie, I'm kind of glad to be away from the hustle and bustle and to sleep to the sound of total silence. That said, I can see how one becomes house bound here. There is nothing within walking distance and zero things to do.
