You have got to be flippin' kidding me!

I have had a whole lot of pain in my elbow for the past three weeks but it became unbearable on Saturday. I went to the walk-in clinic and found out I have tennis elbow.  Or, as we call it around here, Shepherd's Elbow, Hay-bale-lifter's elbow or goat-wrestler's elbow, because tennis elbow sounds kind of girly. 

I am supposed to wear my arm in sling and take massive doses of ibuprofen and then maybe- MAYBE, mind you- it will clear up in 10 days.

This stinks for three reasons:

1. I am in a surprising amount of pain.

2. We are moving 75 sheep and goats from Massachusetts to New York on Tuesday.

3. Nobody can wear a sling and look even remotely cool.  And I have to give my talk-thingy on Friday!

I am so frustrated with this situation...
