Regulars' Table

[Selene310187]

Hi all, I'm back. It was a nice trip to visit friends and family back east... Oh, and my brother got married

I'm glad to hear that you had a nice trip.

That's wonderful! I wish your brother and his wife all the best for their future.

It did bring to light an issue I've been having with my ankle swelling. I spend way too much time at my desk, and I've suspected my gaming chair was the issue. I'm sure of it now. I ordered a new executive high back chair from Wayfair, along with an adjustable height footrest with massage. They should be here Tuesday. I'm ready to junk this chair. I can already feel the swelling beginning again, and I've only been home a day.

That reminds me that I should replace my ancient desk chair sometime. But other things are more important at the moment. I'll probably tackle this after I move into my new place.


I have now visited the doctor I usually go to (the other one was a doctor at the hospital). He diagnosed me with bursitis and calcium deposits in my shoulder. We agreed that we would first treat the shoulder with anti-inflammatory painkillers. The acute pain phase is now behind me. Overall, I can move my shoulder and arm normally again.

Tomorrow, I will receive the key to my new flat! I am really looking forward to it.
