a good excuse not to get dusty

I've come to the sad realization that it's a good thing that I haven't pursued going to Burning Man this year because my right shoulder is still messed up. Even a slacker Burn, which I'd really like to do sooner or later, involves pitching a tent in a place prone to high winds, getting hundreds of pounds of gear and water into and out of a vehicle, and then tons of physical activity when it's time to pah-tay.

The Tickler was telling me to see my doctor about my shoulder, and that's looking like a good idea. I do seem to have lost some range of motion; putting a bra on without turning it hurts for a minute.

Oof, that sounds like an everything-deterrent, not just a burn-deterrent! Definitely get that taken care of... maybe Critical can be on your list?

I've had frozen shoulder. I wish I'd gone to a doc (and gotten into PT) sooner, although even my doc first diagnosed tendonitis at first. When it got worse, doc sent me to the PT who had treated him. It doesn't sound like your issue, but shoulders are complicated and can take a long time to heal. It sucks!
