What a pain in the neck. Posted Saturday, December 8, 2007, 9:48 PM, GST by Dawn I injured my neck somehow. I woke up yesterday and my neck hurt really bad. I took an 800mg Motrin and it seemed to feel good enough to get on with my day. I was having muscle spasm on the left side when I would move my head a certain way. Anyway, I felt a little better so we went out to finish up our Christmas shopping and take care of Amiyah抯 social security card. The Social Security people have been giving us the run around big time, but that is another story. So we are out doing our thing and my Motrin wears off. Now I hurt worse than I did before I took it. We had to go to Navy hospital to take care of some paper work for Amiyah, so I thought I might as well go to the ER while we are up there. The drive up to Navy was torture. Every time Hank made a turn or hit a bump I would have a muscle spasm in my neck. I was in tears many times. I went to the ER. I was given more Motrin and prescription for Valium. This was the only meds they could give me because I am a nursing mother. I have never had any serious meds except for during childbirth so this was a first for me. I waited until bedtime before taking it so I wouldn抰 have to worry about being tired or Amiyah having to eat for a while. I slept with a heating pad on my neck. I felt better this morning, though I am still very sore. The muscle spasms have stopped for the most part. I don抰 have a cool story for why this happened. I guess I am getting old. The hardest part was not being able to do anything. I am not a sit around kind of girl. I do like being lazy at times but on my terms. I feel behind now. Most moms know what I am talking about. If you are out of commission for a day or two, you fall behind. Life seems to come back at you with a vengeance. Ashlyn is still sick. She is doing ok but her fever keeps popping back up. She has a stuffy nose, so I know she has a cold. She is still her same old self. Hank and I bought Guitar Hero III for the Wii. It is fun. I suck at it. So far Hank rocks. He is playing right now as I type this. Well nothing much new around here. I hope all is well. UE, I will try to have Jordan email you soon. I have been bad about a lot of things lately. Thank you for remembering Jordan抯 birthday. I think I saw Aunt Jean post about his b-day also. Most of our family forgets the kid抯 b-days. It is nice when people remember. So never be shy about posting. We appreciate that people are reading my blog. The fact that you all stop by and say high makes my day. Jenny and UE: I saw your post about Alyssa抯 recital. Thank you. I shared them with her and she was delighted that her family had stopped by the website to watch her. She is very proud of herself.
