Got Stronger last night, but not a lot.

I've decided to start letting my shoulder recuperate.  It's been bothering me for almost four months now and that's way too long for me to be complacent about it anymore.  I need to start taking steps to let it chill out.  I don't know exactly what's wrong, my worst-case fear is partially torn rotator but I'm leaning away from that given the normal amount and frequency of pain (in both cases, relatively low).

     Step one is to ease off lifts that tax my shoulder, especially where the tendon moves over the joint, which is where the pain is.
    Step two is fixing how I sleep.  This one is much harder, especially given that I'll be, y'know, unconscious...I normally sleep on my stomach with my right arm up and my head resting on my forearm.  This keeps my right shoulder in a flexed position all night.  I'm going to work to make sure I start sleeping on my back, at least for now.  It's really unnatural, but hopefully it'll work and things'll improve.
     Step three is recommitting to an advil/aspirin regimen.  I try and try and try but never remember to take advil every night.  I'd really like to give my body a better chance at healing by taking the anti-inflammatory right before bed, then letting my systems heal while they aren't inflamed.  The analgesic properties are useful enough, I guess.
     Step four is keeping up with my pills.  The Centrum especially, though the flaxseed oil can't hurt.

Alright, that's my plan.  I'm still jazzed for GHHH.  I've been jazzed for days and now it's all i can do to keep from constantly thinking about it.  Every minute not spent on work is spent thinking about how I'm gonna play.  In all my visualizations (so much less creepy a word than fantasies), I neglect the weather, which will inevitably be cold and taking a toll on my lungs.  Hmm.  Well, no point in picturing myself in pain, I'd never be able to do it anyway.  Might as well just keep pretending it's the middle of June.
