I should be in class right now. Instead, I have a few less-painful minutes to publish.
A few weeks ago my neck around the shoulders began to ache. I chalked it up to a too-soft pillow. Changed pillows. Things felt a little better but still had some underlying pain.
Then, Tuesday morning I was cooking breakfast and a fly buzzed my right ear. I jerked. Then came the searing, white-hot pain that only comes when you know you’ve done something bad.
Felled for the first time in a long time, I headed off to the doctor. A pain killer, steroid and anti-inflam later and I’m still moving like Fred Sanford.
The drugs were my first option. I think I’m going to have to go with Option 2 (MRI) if things don’t get better over the weekend.
Meanwhile, I’m the only driver in the house because Susan had foot surgery. She’s ridin’ shotgun and lookin’ left for me, ’cause I can’t do that right now without gritting my teeth and making gutteral sounds.
I guess we need to teach Abby to drive sooner than we thought.
But on the bright side, I do have a few less-painful minutes to blog.

Geez, I hope someone gets this figured out quickly. I doesn’t sound like any fun.
Vicodin.Vicodin.Vicodin.
I’ve only been taking two a day jw, even though the bottle says four.
I’m going to go ice it right now.
Nothing worse than neck pain! I’ve been there….driving down the road and have to turn your whole body to see right or left. Ugh!!!
Have not been bothered since a friend gave me a tempurapedic pillow. It’s great.
I have neck pain regularly, those muscles always seem to be tight. Mom says she’s gonna give me one of the tempurapedic pillows, I need one!! Neck pain is the worst!!!
