Aches and pains

I am discovering one of the rewards of living; the accumulation of aches and pains.

This was brought into focus over the past week by a sore throat. A colony of bacterial (I hope) has set up residence somewhere near my larynx. During the day it doesn’t trouble me but in the dead of night it seems to get worse. During my slumber the need to cough wakes me. It is one of those imposable to move tickly throat sensations.

I have also been carrying a shoulder injury for the past six or so months. It is not real bad so I haven’t bother getting it seen to by a professional. Many days can go past with out any problem but if I move my arm in just the right way the pain returns. As with my throat problem it is often just enough to wake me.

So this is a preview of my future. How grim.
