family vacation part 3...trust me
I managed to make it through
shuffleboard,
 renting wave runners,
walking the beach,
 and frolicking in the water park. 
 and the good new was
 that on our
little vacation
to
 cedar point
while at the water park
I was introduced to those
 fabulous
 to die for
  dip and dots
those miniature round balls literally melt in your mouth
they are so light
they just can't be fattening
 however
I can not find them anywhere near my house
but that's another story

and the bad news

I really did hurt my neck

big time

although
I did not realize just how bad

When we finally arrived home from vacation
and
my head was still attached
I was so thankful
my prayers were answered
dear God
help me keep my head when all those around me are loosing theirs

anyway
I mentioned my pain to my husband and he reacted as he usually does

you see
my husband
Joe
is a problem solver

he solves problems
and he is very good at it

has had a lot of practice
being married to me
so
his wife has a pain in her neck
so
lets fix it, says Joe
the very next morning
one of his guys

another story

showed up at my door
ready to work on my neck
I know what you are thinking
he put a contract out on me
lol


no
 this guy was
sort of a

chiropractor
 massage therapist
 holistic medicine guy
who sold vitamins

he came prepared with his own little massage table
told me to lay down

now remember
I had never met him before

and he was about to put his hands on my neck
 and do
whatever magic he does

 I laid down on my stomach on this little bed set up in my family room
and I was supposed to trust him to know what he was doing


blind faith
 in my husband
 is all I can say


So
I let this guy have at it

get your mind out of the gutter
he had his way with me from the shoulders up

Actually,
 although he was
as cute as could be,
he scared me to death
and proved to be a bigger pain in the neck
than I already had

 twisting and turning me every which way
I thought I was back on the largest wooden roller coaster in the world

handsome even cracked a thing or two
and I don't mean
 jokes
he was very serious

the entire time he was working 
 I was wincing in pain

don't worry
he said
it might get worse before it gets better
neck injuries take a long time to heal

well, that's another story

Hope the neck is better now though?

thanks
actually,I am in neck pain daily, some days are better than others..certain activities make it worse, like working on the computer for long periods, but I do it anyway then use frozen water bottles on my pillow and plant them in my neck just so, then I am able to sleep, (my hair gets a little damp...but its a small price to pay for a little rest...I do not take any pain pills, I don't even like over the counter stuff, althought occasionally I will take an advil or two or 3.
Sitting at a round table trying to have a conversation just kills!...that's why I always like to sit at the head of the table, Im not trying to take the best seat by being a pain in the neck, Im trying not to have a bigger pain in the neck
....watching a tennis match, or a volleyball or basketball game, sitting without back support(bleachers) looking up or looking down, or lookimg sideways without moving my shoulders is not to much fun...I have very active shoulders.... sometimes it looks like my head and shoulders are one unit...I do what I have to do, it might look wierd to other people, but we all have something, not everyone knows what each of us puts up with daily, we should all be much more tolerant with each other...who knows what that cranky person we occasinally encounter is dealing with...we need to give everyone a break once in awhile. Never judge a book by its cover or a neck by its head.
