How Old Am I Again?

I went to the doctor a few days ago. I've been putting off this appointment for months. Maybe years. But I didn't just admit that.

Yeah. I'm not sure when it started, but I avoid going to the doctor as much as possible. I feel like they're going to find something wrong with me regardless. I had some issues with my blood pressure a couple of years ago, but it's looking good now!

I'm high strung, remember?

Anyway. I've been having left shoulder pain for the last 5, count them, FIVE months. It started the day that I started my job. August 1st.

So, I mentioned it when I went in last week. The doc feels pretty sure that I have a torn rotator cuff. Google that. That's something that baseball pitcher's get. 

Um, yeah how did that happen? I know exactly how it happened. So? Now what am I supposed to do? I can't not work, but the movements (lifting babies and sitting them on my left hip) is what caused it in the first place. 

Stressed.

It's really painful, and I'm supposed to wait a month before starting any physical therapy. 

I need a new career. 

I'm 25. I shouldn't feel like a 70 year old.
