How many other idiots are there like me...

Thu, 12 October 2017 11:32

...who often sleep with their hands interlaced above their head so that when they wake in the morning it feels as through someone has driven nails into their shoulders?!

Please tell me I'm not alone...

Hi Derek,

I feel your pain! Once in my early 20s, I fell asleep with one arm under my head. When I woke up in the morning, that whole arm was completely numb. It was actually quite scary, until I regained feeling.

Hope you'll be able to swing your arms around like propellers real soon!

Raymond

I'm dealing with shoulder tendonitis

It has calcified . . . bright white on the x-ray. I'll hear tomorrow what the MRI shows. It's pretty uncomfortable :(

since I tend to do it with my right hand...not sure how I can fall asleep like that, but definitely painful when I wake up.

Ah yes, the "infantry position." But I thought you were Air Force? :-)

Isn't that the military equivalent....

...of the more commonly known 'missionary' position in which the Air Force, naturally, is always on top. :)

Giving interservice grief with a double (triple?) entendre is always appreciated.

Every once in a while I do...

And pay for it all morning with shoulder pain. My sleeping brain might be trying to punish me.
