Elbow is much much better. Collar bone has pretty much stopped hurting. But the pain in my rib cage is still pretty challenging. For some reason I was better on Wednesday and Thursday -- but I must have overdone it because on Friday and today I was pretty miserable. I've got the heating pad folded under my left arm up against the most painful spot, and I'm still taking 2 extra-strength Tylenol every 12 hours, and I'm trying not to lift anything or stretch upward with my left arm, but since my right arm doesn't work all that well, it's rather difficult.
But I did have some good luck today: I made $170 off Whole Foods. Here's what happened: Yesterday afternoon I bought a package of small tomatoes at WH -- a brand I especially like that is actually more expensive at my local supermarket. This morning all the tomatoes in the bottom of the container were molded. So I took them back to Whole Foods, and they gave me a $4.99 gift card. I did a little shopping there -- another container of tomatoes, some organic strawberries that were on sale, and a few other things. When I checked out, the cashier asked if I wanted the gift card back or wanted to recyle it, and I said recyle. Then he ran the card through, and got a sort of surprised look on his face and said: I don't think you want to recyle this card because there's a $146 balance on it. I was stunned. I explained that it was only supposed to be $4.99 -- and I would go see the lady at the service desk who gave me the card. Guess what? -- I got to keep the $146 card! The clerk at the service desk explained that this was a recycled card, and someone had apparently turned this one in with $170+ on it, and it was now my good luck to keep. I am SO thrilled. This has been a really tight month, and with the proteins I have in the freezer and the staples already in the house, this card will get me through the next two weeks. What a gift! I never have this sort of thing happen to me, so now I'm going to buy lottery tickets tomorrow.
