I am going to rename Tuesday official complaint day. On Sunday we left the flat in Wolves at 9:30 am to catch my 10:00am train to London. Long story short the trains were cancelled/delayed due to a track incident. Thank God Adam Stone was with me and knows trains like I know the 405! He got me to a different train station and on a different set of trains and down to London I went. Train-taxi-express train later Im finally at Heathrow at 2:00pm Terminal 1. Big problem arises when I find out Air New Zealand is now in Terminal 2. Now Im running with a very heavy suitcase and bags about the mile distance to terminal 2. Get to the ticket counter and of course its the first day they are there so the computers are not working. Finally get checked in and sent through security which of course Im now pulled on a random in Heathrow security. I beg the agent to let me go because im about to miss my flight and she nicely tells me, that she can take all day if she wants too. 15 Minute walk to my gate and I get there just as they are boarding the plane. 10.5 hour flight home which I proceed to fall asleep on the plane right away. Woke up with amazing pain in my shoulder which I figured was due to sleeping all crunched up on the plane. Got up and moved around thinking it would pass and it just got worse. 4 Paracetamol later and it was still hurting! 10.5 hours later we land at LAX...get bag and realize I can barely use my left arm. Bus to Van Nuys, get my car and drive home..walk in the door at 10:30p.m. 18 hours of travel and im beyond tired. Woke up Monday morning and didnt feel much better. At my doctors today to get my weekly shots and the nurse notices I cant move my arm too well. Im sent over to the orthapedic who then sent me to the hospital for X-rays . Im greatful there is no tear but seems I have a great sprain. Going to be fun working as a hairdresser as this will be painful for weeks according to the doctor. Im pretty good with pain so I wasnt too freaked out when he came to give me the cortisone shot I needed to get through this. Wow am I an idiot! That pain is seriously unreal! So that is my Tuesday rant! In the big picture I have nothing to complain about, this will heal but sometimes its nice to complain!
