One week of pain and no sleep

Mon. I stopped in at a produce place to pick up some rhubarb. I went to move my arm and winced. The lady grabbed my arm and pressed a place in my elbow. I thought I had a pinched nerve, but it turned out to be a compressed nerve. I had been rubbing in the wrong spot. The lady is a physical therapist. She said I had to rub it out. After a week I can finally open my arm straight. The pain has kept me awake nights. It's been interesting trying to carry my 7# light for work.
Sat. I volunteered at Noah's Ark. It is a wildlife refuge. Some of the animals wander the grounds. It was the most peaceful I've been in more than a year. I was sitting on a bench talking with another volunteer when she reached out and held my arm. She said, "You're safe." This is quite a thing to say with the wild ones roaming free. She said that there was a snake behind me. I took one giant step for K and looked behind me. There was a 4' snake calmly making his way across the trail. We babysat it until it went into a hollow in a tree. All animals are safe at this place. I'm going back in 2 weeks.
Fri. I attended a senior event where I asked every booth person if they knew of a marketing position open. I got some interest. The assisted living opening is still available.
Take care,
Hugs,
K

Very sorry to hear about the problem with your arm.
I hope your pain is alleviated by now, Karen.
I hope your pain is subsiding....!! Nothing worse than that sharp sensation nagging at you all the time, especially when you're trying to sleep!
Well, I don't know about being "safe" with a snake right behind you!! I'd be outta there mighty quickly!
