This week's Friday Five:
- What shortcuts do you frequently take? I always take residential streets to work instead of main roads because rush hour is a freaking nightmare here. I also tend to use a lot of hot keys when typing on a keyboard.
- How do you make up for one of your shortcomings? I think my shortcoming is that I don't make up for any shortcomings...
- What does your favourite pair of shorts look like? I do not own a single pair of shorts. I am a pants-all-year-round kind of gal.
- What was meant to be short-term but lasted much longer than planned? So, two Fridays ago, I woke up from a nap in my computer chair with pain in my right shoulder. I thought it was just muscle pain from being in the an awkward position for too long and that it would go away by the next day. However, over the next three days, it turned into intense pain. I couldn't lift my arm past my waist without my shoulder feeling like it was tearing off. I couldn't do anything I used to be able to do with ease: put my hair up, put on a shirt, type on a keyboard, put my arm up on my desk to use my mouse, etc. My right (dominant) arm was basically useless. Went to the doctor and went to a physiotherapist, both of whom said I might have frozen shoulder. There was nothing else I could really do except try to do arm exercises and take extra-strength Aleve. I finally went to get an ultrasound done, and as it turns out, I have calcific tendinitis. With the help of Aleve and physio, the pain is completely gone now (knock on wood), but what I thought would last one night ended up lasting 10 days (and a full week off from work).
- Which short films do you especially like? I don't watch a lot of short films, but I really loved Bao.
That's a nasty pain!! Glad they finally found out what was the real cause of your pain and you feel better now.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend!
Thank you! It really was a horrific pain, and what really sucks is that there's nothing you can do to prevent it. :(
