I woke up yesterday with a stiff neck.  Since then it has been very difficult to turn my head in any direction.  I took Naproxen (a muscle relaxer) in hopes that it would help.  No such luck for me.   I did not sleep well at all last night so I stayed in bed until about 10:00 a.m. today.

I remembered that I had Vicoden in my cabinet from last year and bee-lined my way to that bottle.  I ate a little food first to prevent an upset stomach and then took one pill and prayed that it would take affect immediately.  Well, there was no immediate relief, but what did happen rather quickly was the feeling of nausea and subsequently the vomiting began.

This is ridiculous.  My head feels as if it weighs 50 pounds and I am failing at balancing it on what feels like a pencil sized neck.  Ahhh, and this too shall pass!

My Auntie and Victor were so kind and brought me over a nice hot meal and freshly squeezed lemonade.  I just love Victor’s African cooking!  So now my tummy is full and all is well except for the pain in the neck.

NR:  I should not fail to mention that while struggling to get up and about this morning, I noticed that I have greater range of motion at my left hip.  I was so eager to exercise today but decided against it and figured that rest is best today.

I’ve been a couch potato all day.  Watching television and playing Words with Friends with my opponent up north. I figured out how to finally win with her…. take VIcoden!  HaHa!
