A Pain in the Neck

I've been suffering with occasional pain in my left arm for as much as half a year now. I finally did something about it in late February; I went to a chiropractor. She gave me treatments three times a week for about two weeks and then sent me to get an MRI. The MRI confirmed her diagnosis, a herniated disk between C5 and C6.

She sent me to a surgeon who told me I'd needed surgery to fix it up. Meanwhile, I scheduled an appointment for a second opinion that won't be until May 23rd.

That doctor's assistant told me that I should try a cervical collar and Ibuprophin immediately and to get in to see my family doctor for a prescription for a muscle relaxer and some steroids treatment.

We'll see how all that goes. By the way, if I seem cranky, it's nothing personal.

Where Am I?

It doesn't matter where I am as long a I live in the ever-loving arms of God.

I'm inspired to write here, but I'm about as sure what to write as I am about where I am in my professional life. Perhaps your comments to this blog will spur me on to something worth reading.

Let's see…

Is there anyone out there?
