X-rays, hanging pictures, and going in a circle

On Friday, I saw the chiropractor. He said my claim was approved, so he wrote me a script to have x-rays of my AC Joint.

After four weeks, the separation is visible. Shoulder felt good for a while on Thursday, but chiropractor made the pain and soreness still there after the visit.
Actually felt well enough to hang pictures on the wall.

I hate hanging pictures. I'm not OCD, a crooked picture is beyond annoying. I'm quite happy I started and finished the wall in a reasonable time frame.
On Saturday, we went to Carillon Historical Park for some reason after we had gone to Old Navy to spend SuperCash and Burger King. I rode the carousel twice with the girls. Jennifer rode twice with the kids afterward. Would have cost $14 if we weren't carousel members.

Beds and such

Jennifer fixed up the bunk beds she had as a child so that our daughters have more space in their room. She spent quite a bit of time painting and such. They were a rustic looking stained brown, now they are a more posh white and pink.

Took apart the day/trundle bed and the 3 in 1 crib/toddler bed before putting the bunk bed in. Had to cut slats since the plywood I had made Jennifer weary. Bought a new twin mattress.

Looks nice. Might have been cheaper to buy a new bunk bed... only because I bought a miter saw to trim the slats. I need the saw to complete odds and ends around the house, so it's not a frivolous purchase.

My shoulder is still being a pain. Work is still day to day. Boss seems to think chiropractor isn't a person who should be treating my separated shoulder.

Summer has made the kids be home and annoying, it seems.

Shoulder update

I've been on light duty, so my shoulder has been getting less strain upon it. Crazy to think I separated the thing doing something I've done many times. Aside from my shoulder popping, I wouldn't have thought of how I hurt my shoulder for sure. My shoulder didn't exactly hurt, but rather felt different. I noticed an ache. The ache was always a dull pain that spiked when I raised my arm. A body ache that lasts longer than a week is when I start to think something is more than a mere ache. I then noticed I had a red spot on my shoulder from my rubbing a bump. I didn't notice the boney bump as being out of place until I realized it was unique and not on left shoulder as well.
I sound silly, but the injury isn't something I would conjure having from pushing boxes on a conveyor belt. It's a football type of injury....

shoulder confirmation

Shoulder still bothered me after a week, so I started looking into the matter on Google.
Given I have a bump, I figured I probably did something to my AC Joint.
Got into chiropractor this morning and he said I was correct in my assessment.
Very mild shoulder separation, but I got a note for work to limit my pushing and arm raising.
I feel sad. Not sure why. Just tired, I guess.

stomach bug

I wasn't on road Monday or Tuesday. When I got home Tuesday, I vomited. I went to bed without eating. I awoke to go to the restroom around 3 or 4. Both my daughters had issues at that time.
I took off Wednesday. I took off Thursday.
I went in at my normal time on Friday, and felt ok enough to work, though my stomach still felt less than wonderful.
My night at work ended after I heard and felt my right shoulder pop. I wasn't in anymore pain or such, but I've never had the experience and figured it was worth mentioning in case something about my shoulder prevented me from working in the future, thus I needed documentation.
Not sure how much I weigh. I haven't donated plasma this month. I went 8 times in April, thus taking off as much time as possible until I get lured back.
I was around 170lbs.
I would like to drop under 150lbs. to be able to donate less volume.
My stomach bug has made me consider it possible.
My shoulder problem makes physical activity less than wonderful.
Temp outside has been hot the last couple days.
So much to do this summer. I need to prioritize my priorities.

a day off to think

Finally heard from my boss about my accident. I'm on probation of sorts and will have to write a letter about whether I want to remain employed.
I don't hate driving. I just don't do well when under stress.

vacation

I had an accident a couple hours before I was to start my vacation. I was almost done with my site pick-up when my powerpad froze. I went to move my vehicle to the dock doors only to find myself locked out. I was in trouble since I had everything I needed to take back to the staion inside the building. After ringing a buzzer and calling dispatch for help, I was now at the point of being late. I droved my vehicle to the other side of the building and found the security staff outside smoking. They were happy to open the dock bay for me, so I drove the half mile around to the other side of the building and as I was backing up to the dock, I grazed the tail light of a parked van, thus shattering it. Nothing horrible, really, given the lack of body damage, beyond shattered transparent red and clear plastic.
I was so already late, so the accident didn't really matter. I got my pick-ups and headed straight to the airport.
I shouldn't have been in such a rush that I didn't notice how close I was to the van I hit, but I was late and not exactly thinking straight.
I had time off and now I'm set to return to an extra long day.
A four day weekend isn't much when today J had to work and called me that she had a flat tire. Tire place is closed, so I shall call Monday to see if my tire can be fixed or needs to be replaced. Doubt I'll have time to get it done Monday between my morning being taken away from me due to a webinar I have to attend.
First world problems are annoyingly trivial when you consider how lucky one is to have a car and a job in the first place.
The vacation was just time off that I don't get to have when my wife and kids are around. We did a few things but nothing too vacation-like. Ohio is having an extended winter, thus being outside is not fun of late.
