beansideWe made it to the weekend!! I have a whole lot of nothing but TTRPGs planned, so I'm content. I'll have to run out to the grocery store for coffee creamer, but that's about it.
Yesterday, I was not a happy camper. My shoulder was hurting like a sonofabitch, and the Ibuprofen wasn't touching it. So, after considering whether I should wait and go to urgent care after work, I decided to set up one more video visit, this one with a Hopkins nurse practitioner. I was a little nervous, because the appt with the other NP had gone so poorly, but I was kind of desperate, because I was having a hell of a time focusing. So I set it up for my lunch break.
She was so nice, y'all. She was very concerned that I don't currently have a PCP, because "you'll need one for the preop." Somehow, I'm getting a feeling that this isn't going to be a cortisone shot kind of injury. When I asked about pain relief, she did not act like I was asking for black tar heroin. She immediately offered me Tramadol. Which honestly is all I wanted. I don't think I could still work on Lortab or stronger. Jess kindly picked up my prescription and within an hour the shoulder pain had eased to a dull ache instead of full blown pain and spasms. And lo' I actually slept last night!! From 11pm til 8am, mostly straight through. It was glorious.
I'm getting a little worried about the ortho appointment. It seems like this may be more serious than I thought. I mean, I knew it hurt like hell, but I may have actually fucked myself up but good. I'm a little concerned what he's going to say.
So fortified with some mild drugs, we played Frostmaiden last night, and it went well. We broughtpoisontaster back into the fray, and said goodbye to another player. Many tears were shed as her character was spirited away by the goddess of the dragons to be held hostage in her hoard.
Okay, I'm going to go get myself dressed to go get my groceries. Everyone have an excellent Saturday!
