Its been a doozy of a couple of weeks...but, again, its in perspective, my friends. My unexpected health issue is not trying to kill me and my world is the best possible one to be in if I were going to be in this situation. The physical pain is continuing to be mitigated by anti-inflammatory medication, as well as pain-killers. A few x-rays (which I still think is cool technology) and an MRI (cooler technology, still!) indicate deterioration in my upper spine and neck...no, I was not a head-banger, but I did twirl a lot at a number of Dead shows. This deterioration and arthritis is causing several discs to bulge; resulting in muscles pulling things out of alignment to the point that the natural, normal curve in my spine is straightening out. Not good. Added to this is pressure on the nerves in that area, which causes the searing, radiating pain. Plan of attack is this: an appointment at the pain management clinic this week to determine a course of treatment. Once that pain is wrangled, a hard look at diet and re-introducing better exercise into my life. My thanks to all of you who send me good mojo and sound advice, who just care about me. I really do appreciate all of it. If you give me a good thought, please remember to send up an extra one for someone else who needs our light.
