Tennis(elbow), Anyone?

Ouch. Stupid snow. Stupid body.

We had 2 horrific snowfalls this year. One on January 9th where 3 feet of snow fell overnight and then another heavy snowfall that was classified as a blizzard due to the gale force winds, but the snowfall wasn't, or didn't seem, as bad as the January snowfall.

I have a long driveway. I do not have a snow blower. Not a good combination in these conditions. My right elbow was already sore after the Shovel-fest in January. February did me in though. It has become progressively more agitated and now, just flat out painful.

Luckily, I have a surgeon for a brother and a physical therapist for a sister-in-law. I have instructions from the later of the 2 and am trying to make sure I follow those instructions ~ especially since I do not have insurance right now!

I broke down and bought a elbow brace today too. It seems to help a bit.

Now...off to ice it!
