Yeah, I'm having a week like that too, Lynda. Found out today I have 
dislocated a rib and rotated my humerus doing who knows what around here 
in the last couple weeks. You'd think I'd have noticed sooner but when 
you live with constant pain you kind of block it out. It's usually my 
husband who notices I'm extra crabby. My neighbor and friend went in 
last week for what she thought was a torn muscle, was diagnosed with 
bone cancer and came home yesterday minus an entire leg. Her husband is 
already disabled. All of us in our small community have been working on 
their yard and house to get it wheelchair ready. Another neighbor was 
diagnosed with prostate cancer this week as well. My issues are small by 
comparison so I really shouldn't complain.
