Tumble and crash in It's a Suhaila!

I didn’t pay attention.

Last Thursday at judo, I was involved in a spar with a fellow club member and ended up getting into a bit of a tangle, and fell over at an awkward angle. Things didn’t seem to bad at the time, a few aches but nothing major but an hour later after I got home I really started aching. Didn’t sleep well so ended up trying to get in to the doctor here on Friday, instead I had to speak over the phone as I couldn’t get an appointment. And my mum is the receptionist there too… so she could have tried to squeeze me in but no.

Well it turns out I have likely got a tear in my shoulder muscle as I am finding it hard to lift my arm. I did end up going in and had a simple sling to try and ease it, and I got sent for x-rays in case anything was chipped or broken, I haven’t heard back yet so can only assume it hasn’t.

Bit disappointed as it means I probably can’t do judo for a few weeks now, it even hurts to play my flute, so that’s two of my favourite things I can’t do. I can still cook which is good as on Wednesday afternoon I’m having a few friends over after college and I am doing dinner (I’m nice like that) as my sister comes home from university and my parents will be away to collect her, so as I have to get my own dinner then I am doing so for my friends too!

To help my arm, I am sleeping with a pillow my my side to lift the arm slightly at night and also to stop me rolling over on it and going ‘OW’ which happened th first two nights.
