Some years back, when i was in sunny California, i slept in the "wrong" position one night. No idea what constitutes "wrong" cos i definitely slept soundly all through the night. But i woke up with this excruciating pain in the area around my left shoulder blade. it was so bad, i could barely get out of bed, roll over or bend over. i couldn't even laugh, cos it would hurt so much just to twitch. The pain lasted for a full 5 days before it went away.
Yesterday i woke up with the same feeling of dejavu. i thought to myself "omg! i have done it! AGAIN!!" i got out of bed after whining for a full 10mins, while hao-e tried to help me massage the area. that was useless of course cos he'd drop off to sleep after a few seconds and i would have to wake him up again. little did i imagine, i couldn't drive. i was in the driver's seat starting up the car, good, not much pain. as i stepped on the accelerator and went up the driveway, i could feel tears welling up. pain pain pain.... just couldn't do it. stayed home instead.
it's not much better today. so i'm gonna stay home somemore. i could be home the whole week... what a waste. a friend called up concerned when she found out i was in pain, her solution was to go to the Emergency Dept to get an x-ray (!). but i figured it's only muscle ache, so i'll just stay home with bengay today and hope that the pain subsides very soon.
