Kinked
I am one of those fortunate souls who have always been healthy. I rarely get sick and the only medical problem I have is a sluggish thyroid (which basically means I always want a blanket). I fix my thyroid problem by taking a tiny pill in the morning. NOT A BIG DEAL! This week, while laying on the floor (writing of course) I somehow kinked my neck. Today is day three of my neck kinkage. Bad enough that I actually thought I might be getting meningitis, I have spent the last few days doped up on Aleve and floating in a bathtub. It’s finally starting to subside a bit, but I’ve been so miserable. I couldn’t help but think about people who have to deal with chronic pain or illness. How do they do it without losing their hope or joy? I think they lose that battle sometimes. I don’t blame them, but I admire them for the strength they have been forced to find while I am whimpering over my kinked neck.
Superb blog post, I have book marked this internet site so ideally I’ll see much more on this subject in the foreseeable future!
