I need a comfort tea!!! Yesterday we had our first real snowfall of the year and my car got stuck in the parking lot. I had to shovel my way out, and after I finally got settled back home I noticed my right shoulder was sore. I thought I was just out of shape and went on with my day. This morning it hurt quite a bit when I got up. I must have slept on it wrong. But as the day went on, it hurt more and more. The skin was warm and tender to the touch. I couldn’t tell if it was swollen or not. I called my doctor and was able to get in this afternoon to see her. (Gotta love it when that happens!) Turns out I might have torn my rotator cuff. When she said that I imagined a gaping 6 inch tear. But apparently it is a millimeter or less. She gave me a sling and a fancy gel ice pack and told me to take Tylenol for pain. I’m allergic to naproxin, aspirin and ibuprofen, which is a shame, because they do a better job at reducing swelling. So I’m drinking this tea because it’s a comfort. I’m feeling very sorry for myself tonight. Even knitting hurts. Sometiems life just isn’t fair, is it. Luckily,this tea is delicious.
This is You :-D

Bio
I love cats. I love alone time. I love sitting indoors on a cold winter night with a book or my knitting while drinking tea. I don’t have a sense of smell, so many of the more subtle flavors of tea escape me. Two of the things I CAN taste are bitter and sour, so any tea that has even a slightly bitter taste is nasty for me. And what others might perceive as pleasant tartness may be horribly sour for me.
I’m also a writer. I love writing, and a mug of hot tea helps me get through the hours sitting in front of the computer. Although I’m a comparatively new tea drinker, I’m jumping in feet first. Feel free to recommend any teas you think I might enjoy.
100-91 – Wowza! I want to keep this tea in the cupboard all the time.
75-90 – Very nice. It would be good to have this tea on hand from time to time.
60-74 – OK. Wouldn’t keep it in the cupboard, but I would drink it again.
45-59 – If a friend served this I would drink it to be polite, but it’s not really my cuppa.
Lower than 45 – Blech. It was too sour or bitter for my taste. Would not drink it again.

Aww, that sucks! Hope it heals up quickly.
Thanks! The doc said it could be a month or more. I’m pretty sure I won’t wear the sling that long. it’s driving me nuts! LOL
Ouch! Heal up fast!
