Alrighty folks. If you've been paying attention, you will remember that 3 weeks ago, tomorrow, I was sidelined by a neck injury. It sucked, it sucked big time. The doctor said at least 3 to 6 weeks for recover. I was not happy. The pain sucked.
Fast forward...Tomorrow it will be three weeks. The minimum expected recovery time. And I have to say, I may not be 100 percent, But I feel a lot better.
I am pretty sure my bosses at work have already forgotten that the injury ever happened. I mean they don't seem to be allowing me to "take it easy" anymore.
Yesterday, my one boss asked me to completely rearrange the shop...I still struggle with lifting because my arm muscles are directly connected to my spine!!! Certain positions really hurt still. But I am doing a lot better.
I watched an 18 month old last night...that meant a lot of running around and lifting her up. By the end of the night, my neck was pretty stiff and sore, but I took one muscle relaxer and went to bed. Woke up this morning feeling pretty much good as new. So, yay!!!
Speaking of taking a pill, I didn't take any prescribed medication for it last week at all!!! Super huge improvement! I'm pretty sure that at my follow up on Tuesday, he's going to release me to full duty. I can't wait, that means that the following week, I will start working out again.
And the only reason I am going to wait a week is that my work schedule next week is pretty intense and crazy. Looks like it's going to be a 60 hour work week.
Well, I'll check back in after my follow up, but things are looking better!!!
