I didn't go to work today.
I woke up this morning with a very sore elbow, so sore in fact, that I couldn't even move it. I attempted to get in the shower and was overcome with pain. A wave of nausia hit me and I was laying on the floor, cradling my right arm and wondering what the hell was going on.

I went back to bed to lay down after having a few advil. It gradually eased the pain, but the giant golf ball on my elbow failed to go away.
The boss is off in Minnesota this week so I had to be in. Thank goodness for VPN.
I logged in and used the Avaya application to control my phone remotely. Any calls I made or received appeared as if I was right there in the office, so minus a small subsection of people who actually knew where I was, it appeared I was there just like any other day.

I attempted to get an appointment with a doctor, but no one had any room today. I don't actually have a doctor yet, just got my new health insurance, so didn't really have anyone who could squeeze me in. Nicole was worried, and I was curious, so we went to the emergency room.

It turned out that was the right thing to do considering the implications of letting it go without treatment. The doctur said it was bursitis, an inflamation of the tissue around the elbow. He kept asking how I hurt it, what I hit, indicating it was normally some sort of trama that caused it. I had gone to sleep fine, and woke up in pain. I have no clue how it happened.

So here I sit with a perscription for an antibiotic and painkiller. I can't play games, and am even now feeling sick sitting up and in front of the computer.
Time to go watch some more TV.
