Thanksgiving: Not Quite What I'd Planned
Here's a rundown of my Thanksgiving:
Wednesday: wake up with "crick" in neck; progressively more pain; go to chiropractor; find out I've sprained a neck muscle in large part because my muscles are tense from being stressed (no, really?); get through another hour at the office then home to sit on the couch where I must remain carefully propped and not move my head or I start crying.
Thursday: better but still on the couch; over to Mom's for about 30 minutes to eat Thanksgiving dinner; back to the couch.
Friday: feeling much better; over to Mom's to alternate between sitting on her couch watching TV (better cable) and sitting at the computer working on a final project for class.
Saturday: relapse; back on the couch full-time.
Sunday: feeling much better but have learned my lesson and stay on the couch.
Monday: back at work with ice pack and ibprofun; so far so good (it's been a whole 45 minutes).
