I have had a stiff neck since Bill and Maggie's wedding.
Over two months ago! While I managed to make it through much of the night maintaining a medium to strong whisky drunk without embarrassing myself (much — or that I know of), it seems I drunken passed out in bed in some sort of odd position that left me unable to move my neck much for a week. Slowly, it got better, but about a month ago, it plateaued. I used to be able to push my chin up to crack my neck — no longer! It can’t stretch that far. Peering over my shoulder to see oncoming traffic or catch a fly ball can be a surprisingly painful experience if I didn’t take any ibuprofen or stretch earlier that day. Even sitting on the couch in the same position for too long can cause it to stiffen up a bunch and I have to stretch to be able to turn my head again.
In short, I am old and Bill and Maggie owe me a new neck.
THE WORST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN.
This is not a superlative. The link below is the WORST. THING. I HAVE EVER. SEEN. This, ladies and gents, isn’t the new 2 Girls 1 Cup. It makes 2 Girls 1 Cup look like little girls in pretty dresses riding unicorns.
Doctor said I need a backiotomy
Ugh. I’m going to my primary doctor today to get a referral for Novacare who, hopefully, will fix my back. It’s not getting any better and I spent a good deal of yesterday laid out on the floor trying not to move.
I had being old.
I'm getting a hot stone massage today
From this place:
About a month and a half ago, the first game of softball of the season, I ran in on a ball from the outfield and tried to swoop down, get it, and quickly come back up with it for the throw. My lower back kinda twinged and it hasn’t been the same since. I’m very reluctant to try a chiropractor as my skeptic’s nature puts me at odds with their unscientific “healing,” so I’m going the massage route first. I figure if it doesn’t help my back, at least it should be pretty nice and relaxing.
