Without saying anything personal since this entry isn't F-locked, I'm sorry to hear about the herniated disc in your neck, that sounds awful.

I understand being more relieved with knowing it's a herniated disc, it makes sense that there's conclusive evidence to the cause and not just a hazy uncertain possibility.

Lastly, this tag: i can whine in my lj if i want to. YOU MADE ME THINK OF SAFETY DANCE.
