My Everest…

“How are things today?”, my physio asks? Better! Told him I got some sleep because I had my nerve blocks.  So overall we are better!  He checks both of my arms ROM and he is pleased with it. We are back to full extension.  But there is still some discomfort with that!  I haven’t been at full extension since my fall a month ago.  However I myself have been limiting what I have been doing and not doing so he does his thing and makes my neck feel better all the while I am letting him know if I can feel things in my teeth or any other place so he can adjust accordingly.   He finds a spot where I am like it’s not great but it’s tolerable.   He likes this answer and runs with it. I do understand that sometimes we need to go into some level of pain but it needs to be manageable. 

The flare bear controls all over his watchful eye and he seemed to be ok with it, we made it, phew! OH Yeah sucker !!  Take that !  In return for trying to be sneaky you can now have a nice big migraine. Not sure if that was physio or the weather, perhaps a combo of both.  I took migraine meds that didn’t cut through the migraine pain until it went away around 8 pm.  I will also give you a gift of numbness (aka radiculopathy) in my arms & hands.   Oh the flare bear didn’t stop his giving.   Regarding sleep there won’t be any …. I couldn’t sleep on my L side at all R side was touch and go back was not having a party either so we actually stuffed my fists under my shoulders and slept on my front and my face which feels really weird when it’s all numbed up.  Moral of this story…..don’t ever try pulling a fast one by the flare bear he knows all, sees all and controls the big red button!!!!
