It isn’t every day I get to write about a literal pain in the neck but I injured myself while getting ready for work yesterday morning. To be clear, I wasn’t doing anything wrong or even taxing. I just turned my head to the left and immediately felt something snap in the right side of my neck. Pain immediately radiated down my neck and into the shoulder.
It was a busy day so I persevered but noticed the issue hurt more with each passing hour. My hopes that it would wear off on its own were clearly unrealistic.
This picture from Lake Alma is about as bleak as my mood yesterday afternoon.
Luckily, my chiropractor is great and they got me in right away. By the time I walked in his office, the pain was up into my temple and down my right arm. I shudder to imagine how bad it would be now without his care.
I feel better now. Not good. But better and I’m hopeful that some rest this weekend will help me heal. If not, I’ll go back next week and try again.
This week has been rough as I have struggled with a cough and a sinus problem. These episodes have gone a long way toward reminding me just how precious good health is. We don’t often recognize it till it’s gone.
Be healthy and happy, my friends, and be grateful if you are in good health.
