I probably shoulda stayed in bed this morning, except I can't because today is SOP packet day (they should've gone out yesterday, but too much other STUFF was going on yesterday).

The reason I probably shoulda stayed in bed is that apparently I landed fairly hard on my left upper arm last night, so that hurts. Then my left elbow went CRACK this morning while I was putting my shirt on, and now that hurts too. So I'm sitting here with a sore arm, waiting for people to get back to me so I can shuffle a lot of paper out of here in a hurry.

ETA: Why isn't there anything out there by way of braces, etc. for elbow/upper arm/shoulder? They're all elbow/forearm sorts of things. What I really need right now is an elbow brace that will keep me from hyperextending the elbow as much as usual, and also something to keep my sore upper arm happier.

Unfortunately as you probably know, the typical treatment for upper arm and elbow problems is to put you in a sling and bind the arm to your torso to prevent you from using it. Not helpful, I know, but unfortunately it seems to be the only effective answer for upper arm problems.

Another old complaint: probably a lot of what's wrong with my arm where I landed on it could be made happier if I had a deep enough bathtub to soak it in.
