a pain in the neck



Yes, my neck, shoulders, and back STILL hurt. I drove over 2 1/2 hours to our other office yesterday, drove another 2 1/2 hours back to Northampton (sitting in traffic and eating jellybeans for 45 minutes of it), and drove over an hour into work this morning. Stating the obvious here, but all of this driving is not helping. Neither is this sitting at a computer thing right now. I'm seeing the osteopath again tomorrow, but now I'm at the point where I'm almost afraid to go. I'm so traumatised by the week of pain I've experienced after seeing her last Friday, that something in me says that tomorrow will lead to more suffering. This just proves my point that exercise and seeing medical professionals are bad for you. Okay, so I'm exaggerating slightly. Not about the pain, though - I'm having a hard time holding my head upright, and I've not even had a single glass of wine. I think it's time to go home, soak in a bath until I stop feeling like bursting into tears or passing out, and prop myself up on some pillows and work on my laptop from home.
