So I went to work today and worked about a half-day. It was good to get back after two days off (I tend to get antsy even if I'm sick at home, I NEED to work)everyone was very sweet to me and helped me lift and reach for things ,etc.

Thursday night Tommy, my knight in shining armour again, called his sister-in-law who is a massage therapist and she gave me a back massage. I can totally understand why people go to these people to relax! I didn't really get to relax myself because of my pain, but i can understand it. She felt me up basically and said she knows that I have a rib out of place. (A RIB OUT OF PLACE! WTF!) I have no idea how I managed an injury like that. Anyway she showed some concern about that and my neck vertabrae being scrunched and swollen so she referred me to the chiropractor she works with. Today I had the chiropractor appt and i feel like she took me into a back alley and beat me with baseball bats but she did take xrays and I meet back up with her on Monday to see what's up with those. She suggested an MRI but is gonna wait till she looks at xrays first. She thinks because of some loss of strength and feeling in my left arm and hand that I may have done something to a disc. I am not sure exactly what an MRI is but it sounds like bad juju to me.Cross your fingers that it's just the rib and that's it.

The good thing about all of this: because Tommy and his family kick so much ass the massage was free and the chiropractic appt was free! I am blessed.
