stupid old lady body.

it's a strained rotator cuff!!! (yes, beth, you were right.) i found it odd that of the three magazines in the room where i waited forever for the doctor, one of them had a cover story on arthritis and how it's not just for old people anymore. i avoided looking at it at first, choosing instead to read about athina onassis's legal battles. but that got old (plus someone had ripped out parts of the article) and i finally gave in and started the arthritis article. slightly terrifying in its attempts to be reassuring. it was good timing, though, since when the doctor came in and asked what was going on with my shoulder, i simply held the magazine cover up for her to read. now i'm off to physical therapy in a couple of weeks, which seems odd to me because unless you are in some sort of accident, isn't that generally for the more athletic type? i wondering if excessive napping and laziness can strain a rotator cuff. i need more advil.
