A few weeks ago (right after the November elections), I awoke with severe pains spreading from my left shoulder all the way down through my fingertips. Granted, I am at the age when otherwise harmless sleep seems to have the ability to inflict great pain, the remedies aren't always so easy to deal with. After a morning in the hospital and a variety of scans and images, it appears I have a bulging disc in my C-6 cervical spine - which explains a lot why I am in so much discomfort.
So armed with new MRI's, I have undertaken daily physical therapy in order to "settle down" my inflamed nerves. PT helps, but it is is not an easy route. Pain must be managed and addictive drugs are to be avoided. So here I spend my time traveling (sitting in a driving position "burns" my shoulder) daily to PT and hoping every evening is easier to cope with the the previous.
To the many that have raised concerns about my being "absent" from many social media sites, I appreciate your concerns! It is always nice to be missed. I hope to be "back in the saddle" again within the next two weeks. In the interim, be well and stay focused on real facts and news versus fake news and talking points and I will focus in on taking the appropriate time to heal. Have a great week!
