The Bad:
The power steering went out on the van because the power steering belt came off. Apparently on Dodge Grand Caravans this happens when they get very wet. Nice to know...
The Irritating:
I took the laptop in to Schrock Innovations. They reinstalled the wireless card, found 277 Windows issues and 173 spyware problems. The laptop now connects to any wireless network I point it to and it runs faster.
And A Sore Arm:
My left shoulder has been giving me trouble since last Sunday. By night time I'd be in shooting pain at the shoulder, across my left collarbone and down my arm, and have to stop reading to Cassie and huddle on the couch. I figured I was doing something during the day to irritate it and by evening it had reached the point where it really hurt. But I couldn't figure out what I was doing that was different. This continued each evening all week until it occurred Wednesday morning. So following the advice of coworkers I made a doctor appointment.
Saw my internist Friday morning. She also is adopting from China so we had to discuss that for a few minutes. After she examined me, she decided to go with a conservative treatment and assume I did something to injure myself but don't even know it, like pulling a muscle wrong while slamming shut a van door. So for the next 7-10 days I'm taking three ibuprofen three times a day (for the muscle pain) and one Gabapentin at night (for the nerve pain). If I'm still having pain, then we'll progress to an MRI.
