I Went To The Chiropractor...

...and, as it turns out, my chosen profession is attributing to a case of torticollis. The muscles are huge surrounding the spot, and all this is most likely been brought on by using a mouse. Sheesh. Who knew web design could be debilitating?

Apparently, this all got started in 1996 when I was in two rear-end accidents in Spokane within the span of 5 months. The first one wasn't that big of a deal, but the second one was a pretty bad accident, as the car got pushed probably 25-30 feet into the intersection.

What's interesting, though, is that, according to that Wikipedia article up there, this kind of injury can be brought on by an ear infection. I had an ear infection not too long ago, but it was in my left ear, and this pain is on the right side of my neck. Anyway, working continues to hurt, and I have way too much to do for this crap to be going on. I am supposed to go back on Friday to see if he can put my vertabrae at the top of my spine in once the swelling goes down in the muscles around it.

Oh, For Criminey's Sake...

I couldn't get anything done today. I was fine when I woke up, but, within minutes of getting out of bed, I had a pain in my neck that would not quit. I thought I was going to throw up from the pain of it. I had a friend adjust me, but there is still a problem. And painkillers won't even touch it. I may have to go see a chiropractor, and soon.
