about a month ago, i was sitting on the couch late one night, playing my guitar and one of the couch pillows was under the corner of my butt and it was annoying me. . .i reached down and pulled it out to the side and felt a little tweak in my shoulder. . .a couple of days later i developed tendonitis. . .that has since migrated south into my elbow and bicep. . .i'm fucking OLD.
i have/had a wisdom tooth on top, on the left side that doesn't have a mate on the bottom (never formed). . .because it doesn't have a mate, it keeps growing. . .about two weeks ago, it started rubbing against my cheek until it was raw. . .it became difficult for me to eat and i began to slur my speech because i was talking out the other side of my mouth. . .and i lost about 3 pounds that i didn't really have to lose. . .i went to the dentist yesterday, thinking that he would maybe grind it down a little and then we would take care of it after tax season (he's one of my clients for chrissakes) and he yanked it. . .ouch.
about 5 days ago i got a NASTY cold. . .i'm drowning in snot and my nose is flaky and raw from blowing it so much. . .i never get sick during tax season because (imho) i'm very militant about my diet. . .well, because of the tooth thing i haven't been eating right, so now i'm sick.
there are 13 days left in tax season and i am exhausted. . .i'm friggin' OLD. . .45 was much more difficult than 44.
this morning i saw a young man walking down the street with a bad limp. . .upon further inspection, it was obvious that he was missing some part of a leg. . .young man, buzz cut, veteran?? anyway, he looked like he was just out for a walk. . .maybe trying to get used to his new limb. . .it's a BEAUTIFUL morning for a walk, sunny, cool, crisp. . .and he was smiling.
now i feel like a complete fucking moron for wallowing in my tribulations. . .that is all.

You're not alone, hun. I was born with some congenital spinal problems and have been working on DJD since I was a teen. I have put my back (and neck) out doing the following: Tying shoes, looking over my shoulder, standing up from a chair, using the toilet (ah, there's dignity), sleeping -- on my bed, mind you -- vaccuuming, stepping on/off a step/curb wrong, oh, and washing my um, derrier in the shower ...
