- I knew it wasn't muscle by the way it felt. I know muscle pain. Seems to be the thought right now is that it is a pinched nerve. Xrays, some type of electrical treatment that feels pretty good, and an adjustment were part of the lineup for the appointment.
- Does it feel better? Some. I have better range of motion of my neck. That is good!
- I am sending thoughts and prayers for those in the path of Tropical Storm Hanna, that it only brings needed rain.
- I feel like I have been way out of the loop with folks, especially with the blogs I visit. Work has consumed me. It's a good thing in some ways, but like I said in a previous post, my desk looks like a bomb has detonated. I know my GOOD PEN is missing, so there is a good chance it will be unearthed there.
- Married daughter is preparing our house for a baby shower this afternoon. House will definitely be tidier than it has been in quite some time!
How was your week?
Glad you're getting some relief for your neck. I hope it continues to get better with the treatment.
We're taking it easy today and going bowling with some church friends later in the afternoon. I'm so glad it's Saturday...even though last week was short with the holiday, it seemed like it would never end!

I am glad you have some relief. Sore neck is a bad thing! It has been a bit noisy the past few days as we have a big air show in town with the Blue Angels. Fortunately the dog is not scared of most loud noises (but hates church bells! All indications are that Rusty is a Primitive Footwashing Baptist, I don't know if they hold with church bells.) It was a bit rainy when we went to the Methodist breakfast this morning, and foggy by the coast. It's still a little cloudy and I think we're supposed to get quite a bit of rain tomorrow from Hanna. Spouse is going into the last week of rehearsals before Music Man opens Sep. 12 so I won't see much of him evenings and weekends. I hope you get a moment to catch your breath and clean your desk this week, and find your Good Pen!!

Ow! Pinched nerves are the worst. I had to wear one of those Ubangi neck stretcher thingies a few times for a pinched nerve in my neck.
Massage really helps. As do moist heat packs.
Hope you find your pen. That's annoying too.

I'm glad your neck is feeling better. And I know what you mean about feeling out of the loop with blogging folks. Darn jobs--I love mine, but they do suck a lot of time out of life don't they?? :)
I do hope you find your good pen. It's funny how the good pens are always the first ones to grow legs and walk off!

I haven't had any time to check in with my blog friends either this week. I hope that you find relief for your neck pain. I've been struggling with some side effects of a new medication --- and one of the symptoms was pretty severe pain in my lower left abdomen. If it had been on the right side I would have suspected appendicitis. My desk is still relatively clean ---- but not for long.

Nerve issues are terrible, I am sorry for that but glad you are seeing SOME type of relief. Been praying for healing...
