Pinched Nerve

I have a bulging disk in my neck that flares up from time to time. Ever since the biopsy, where I spent hours on the table with my head turned to the left while they battered away on my neck's right side, I have been having twinges of pain. Today, it flared to a loud roar, shooting pain down my left arm and making more of my hand numb ( my index finger and thumb are always that way, even after extensive physical therapy).

To make matters worse, I ended up having to complete a large invitation printing/folding/labeling job that turned out to be double the number we thought, and that exacerbated the whole issue. I knew I had to conduct choir, but for the life of me, I couldn't figure out how I would survive. Those of you who have experienced pinched nerves will know just what I mean.

And after that, Drew was counting on going grocery shopping because of payday and the empty larder. Keep going. You can't stop. Figure out what will get you through and just do it. OK. Ice, anti inflammatories, laying down for a bit. And PRAYER! Dear God, make this pain go away!

How amazing that choir practice went well in spite of my lack of energy. Once the music started, I was completely and blissfully unaware of the pain. The relief lasted long enough to complete the shopping trip. Then I could go home and rest. I made Drew carry the groceries in.

I settled into a comfy chair, put my arm over my head, hoping for a decent night's rest. Tomorrow, I will find a chiropractor and see about getting this under control. Shoot, if it's not one thing, its another.
