Pain In The Neck
Sad news from the world of entertainment yesterday with the loss of comedic genious Peter Boyle. Remember that there are only 10 shopping days left until Christmas.
I woke up early as usual around 5:00 AM in preparation for my morning ritual. As with most mornings I woke up with a decent headache but was trying to ignore it. The School Girl stopped me in mid-leg swing. Apparently, she hadn't slept much at all the night before and had been in excruciating pain. In the middle of the night her neck had pretty much seized up and she was unable to move.
She decided that she had put off going to a chiropractor long enough. Since we are one car down, and I was feeling slightly unwell myself, I stayed home to drive her to her appointment. We had discussed going to work late; however, the earliest she could get in to be seen was at 2:00 PM. It was official, we had a grown-up skip day.
School Girl spent most of the morning icing down her neck and I played with my sweet new cellphone. She did also get a chance to do a small bit of scrapbooking. Maybe with school being basically finished with, she could catch up from being over a year behind.
Two o'clock rolled around and we headed to the major hub of commerce and finance...downtown Lewisburg, TN. I thank God (and my parents) that I had my new MP3 phone because "it should only take an hour" turned into "my hair is turning grey because I'm sitting here sooooo long!" They took x-rays and she took a water massage therapy. I sat and listened to the new Chris Daughtry CD on my phone (thanks Green Machine) and smoked too many cigarettes. I also have to mention that the receptionist lady really creeped me out. She sounded like she was a member of the Lollipop Guild!
After over an hour they called me in and we got to meet the doctor. He pulled out the x-rays and put the photo of The School Girl's neck next to one of a "normal" neck. A normal neck is curved out towards your throat...the x-ray of The School Girl was curved in the opposite direction! Anyway, a crack here, a crack there and she was able to maneuver normally and all head pain had ceased. So hopefully after a few more visits the damage can be reversed. I think that maybe I will make myself a visit to get rid of all of my back, neck and head pains too.
