Part time today

Got up early to be able to work out my arm and shoulder so I could get ready for work today. Its always really stiff and sore in the mornings. Only spent from 8:30am to noon at work. My desk is taller than I thought and by noon my arm was so sore from holding it up.And I was feeling really sleepy. So I went home... only a half day but I guess that's better than no day. Its progress. I sit right outside my managers office and she can see everything I do and hear everything I say.. doesn't bother me (if that's what you were wondering!). I told her I was going to go home and why. Her comment to me was that she had been noticing that I was starting to keep my left arm down and do things with only my right hand/arm. She is going to look into getting our IT dept to install a lower pullout keyboard tray.. like the home computer desks usually have. I thought that was really nice. I never thought of it none the less asking work to provide it. So I spent the afternoon on the sofa with a book relaxing. I also had to take some pain meds when I got home. That disappointed me since I have been working so hard to get off them and it had been two days of no meds. However, I am happy to report that I can, with just a little soreness raise my arm up over my head. But of course that's later in the day when its been worked and stretched out. Seems like about 2pm or 3pm is when its feeling the best. baby steps.. one step at a time..
