And if so, just your co-pays or try and pro-rate you health insurance premiums?
Wasn't even that dramatic or traumatic dagnabit!
New Years Day I didn't have any competing priorities so I split and stacked about 1/4 cord (which involves splitting, putting in my garden tractor trailer, driving up to the deck, stacking on deck), and moved about 1/2 cord from a pile of split wood I won in a raffle -- put in trailer, drive up to deck, toss onto deck, after I had half a cord piled up stacked it.
Felt fine afterwards.
Friday had a crick in my neck at work, but nothing major.
Friday night hugged a date goodnight and went home with a spring in my step, still felt fine other than my neck crick.
Half hour later went to go to bed and holy hell this hurts from my neck, around my right shoulder, and down my right arm.
Monday I started a new job (yeah, boss at the old job made me work Friday after New Years...once I told him I was hoping I would have everything wrapped up Wednesday so I wouldn't have to file RI income taxes for one days wages in 2015...and he was smiling about it! "It's not too late, you can just show up here on Monday...")
And all week I suffered from lack of goodnights sleep, I'm having to use heating pads and ice packs in the office. Bored to death in the evenings as I just sit in my recliner resting alternating heat and ice.
Finally broke down and went to the walk-in clinic on Sunday morning and got a referral to Physical Therapy.
Had my first PT today which was *awesome* -- most likely it's just a knot in my muscle at the bottom back of my shoulder blade that's swelling and pinching a nerve. Which can be aggravated when you're doing a lot of turning your torso and lifting -- you know, like you're stacking firewood from a pile.
Still a small chance it's a vertebra out of alignment.
They did electric stimulation on my back for 10 minutes, and I was pain free for the next six hours. Hurting a little now, but far better than most days since the third.
And I get to visit the PT folks twice a week for the next month.
If we only count the co-pays it's still cheaper than oil
