Injury Haiku

I pinched a nerve [or something] in my shoulder / neck by just sitting up in bed the other day. It was very painful. It was even more frustrating than painful, because of the days of neck stretching, hot packs, pain and twisting from the hips to look at things that followed. It was particularly frustrating because of the trivial cause of the injury. There is no scar, no exciting story and it doesn't involve sport or wood chopping.

I composed a couple of haiku while cleaning the rooms the next day about my and Jodie's reaction to the event.

I injured my shoulder
Is it a heart attack, dear?
No, it's my shoulder

#$@%, !&*@!, damn, blast it
Do you need the hospital?
No, it's a tantrum.

So we have slightly different ways of looking at the same situation. In the light of day, I see that expressing both my pain and frustration, at the same time, in a hail of profanity may have lead to some confusion about the symptoms I was experiencing.
