This is me for most of the week.\u00a0 Sunday night I was writing at a desk and stretched back, like I have before thousands of times.\u00a0 But, for whatever fluke reason, this time a nerve in my neck was pinched.\u00a0 I had sharp neck pain, muscle spasms down my upper back and under my shoulder blade, and transient right arm numbness.\u00a0 Hoping it would go away after a night’s rest I went to work Monday morning.\u00a0 But it only got worse.\u00a0 I left midday and went straight to my doctor.\u00a0 She provided a note to excuse work, an Aleve regimen, and prescriptions for Vicodin and Soma (a muscle relaxant).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Luckily I already had three days off mid-week, so I really only missed one afternoon of work.\u00a0 Since then I have been on my back in the basement with an electric heating pad.\u00a0 I had to miss dance rehearsal Tuesday, although Amanda video chatted me from the stage so I could give some pointers.\u00a0 Yesterday Ben drove me up to Bailey so I could teach.\u00a0 It was hard for me not to demonstrate full-out, but the kids really stepped up and learned quickly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jack has been super cuddly.\u00a0 Ben has been a dear taking care of me.\u00a0 I can’t really complain about the rest.\u00a0 As illnesses go this one has a fun treatment.\u00a0 My netflix and DVR queues are empty now.\u00a0 I drove to a staff meeting today and experienced only aches rather than full on pain.\u00a0 I hope I’m healed enough that finishing my two shifts Friday and Saturday won’t be too strenuous.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sorry, boring post, I’m sure.\u00a0 But I felt like documenting it.\u00a0 Here’s some photos from Sunday, where I spun some yarn before the injury started acting up.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/a><\/div>\n

And here are photos of me playing with Jack at the Tattered Cover, courtesy of Amanda.\u00a0 I haven’t synced my phone for photos from my folk’s visit yet.\u00a0 It was really fun to see them.\u00a0 We ate well, did a lot of shopping, and Jack was showered with attention.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
