I found out this week that I'm really old.  I've developed bursitis in my shoulder.  It makes me feel like I'm 100 years old...eventhough I know that people of any age can get bursitis.  This is apparently the most common form of pain in the shoulder, knee, hip or any other joint.  It's just the inflamation of the fluid around your joint.  Man, does it hurt, though. 

My daughter broke her arm about a month ago and I think I've now complainted more about my shoulder than she did about a broken bone.  That's pretty sad.  So while I feel really old and I'm moving slowly...I'm also crying like a little baby. 

The doctor tells me that the best treatment is just to relax...I like that order from a doctor.  I'm going to use that as an excuse not to mow the lawn or edge the sidewalk or anything else that involves manual labor.  However, I will figure out a way to play Wii with my daughter while I recover.  Some things are just too important to sacrifice.
