Boooooo...
I'm still sick. My throat is on fire and I have no energy. I slept 9 hours last night and just woke up from a 3 hour nap. On the plus side, I had already determined I would take today off of work to go to the doctor for my shoulder, so that was nice. And I get to sit around tomorrow and watch TV! Hooray!
Speaking of the shoulder, the specialist thinks it's some tendonitis (inflamed biceps tendon). She gave me a gel to massage into the shoulder to help the inflammation, and she told me to keep taking ibuprofen twice a day for a week. I also have a prescription for 4 weeks of physical therapy to help strengthen the shoulder muscles to protect me from further injury. And I got my very first x-rays taken. I'll get a call if there's anything amiss.
In much better news, I had my first ballroom concert last night, and it was AMAZING. I love performing, and getting on that dance floor and knocking it out of the park felt incredible. It's definitely the best I've ever performed that routine and it was the best my partner had ever done, too! I was honestly more worried about him than I was about me, but he was excellent. I'm so proud of him! My coach told me she got LOTS of compliments about me, too, so that makes me feel awesome. So despite the aching throat and the weird-looking fake tanner and the press on nails that are making it hard to type all of this, it's been an absolutely wonderful weekend.
