I injured myself! Right before my trip

I get hurt sometimes in the weirdest ways.

I was up late last night scanning our credit cards (front & back), itinerary, etc. to leave with our 20yo ds that is staying home...just in case a wallet would get stolen or something. I had had to lift the scanner to a table since it is unhooked since dh is making new desks for the family room (for homeschooling)....that seemed fine...but after scanning a bunch (had to scan the tickets, the cute Disney characters on the folder, etc.)...suddenly a sharp pain went through my shoulder!

I was up until about 1:30am with it hurting...kinda falling in and out of sleep... called the chiropractor and he got me right in. I'm to ice it every chance I can get over the trip.

I'm supposed to be boarding a plane in just about 24 hours. My dh is not going to believe this...he will think I planned it...so I have a "doctor's note" saying I can't lift over 10 pounds...and he said NOTHING with my right arm, not even pulling a rolling suitcase. He said I have 2 teen boys and a dh...they can carry my laptop and the suitcases. I know dh will tell me to leave the laptop home...10 days?! I don't think so.

...and I'm getting a doozie of a headache...so going to grab my prescription meds for my head and hope I get rid of this soon....we gotta pack! Wish me luck on my dh (for once) having compassion...it's rare.
 
Oh no! I hope you get better ASAP!!!!

Have a great trip and take LOTS of pictures! (as I'm sure you will!)

(I know what you mean about the laptop, I couldn't be without mine for more than a day, let alone 10!!!!)
 
Thanks. Sitting here with ice on my shoulder when I SHOULD be doing laundry and packing...guess I'm going to work the boys today. lol dh surprised me and said he would try to come home early tonight and help out. I told my son what his dad said and he said "WHO did you talk to?" lol He knows about his dad's lack of compassion.
