Well, after spending some time writing about mobility issues and products for our new US Mobility web site, it seems I am now conducting some real empirical research!! Frolicking on the bed, I managed to strain a muscle or tendon in my neck, and collapsed in acute agony. I am now suffering with absolute limited movement, to such a point that it is painful to even move and go to the toilet!!!! Poor old Nick is trying his best to ease things for me, and make me comfortable……..but I feel a right useless noggin, and look a right site! Unable to purchase a neck brace, we have improvised with a large towel, tied around my neck with one of Nick’s ties. For my heat treatment, we have filled a plastic water bottle and sheaved it in a sock. This is then stuck in the right side of my neck-towel.
I spent most of yesterday lay on my back immobile staring at the ceiling going a little (more) crazy!! Having too much time to just think is not really what I need, or want, however luckily I managed to prop myself enough that I could hold up a book and start reading again. AT LAST I have finally finished Fahrenheit 451….an accomplishment at least!
Nick even took to completing re-organizing our room at 10 pm last night in an effort to move me out of the direct line of the cold air form the air-con.
Today is a much better day J Although still suffering somewhat, the chronic pain has eased and I am capable of much more movement.
