Please send good wishes for healing my way.....

I'm on Day 2 of my neck being completely tweaked out and I'm totally bummin' and in pain. It's always been my "weak link" ever since I was in a car accident almost 25 yrs ago. Right now I have zero range of motion, I'm wearing my stupid cervical collar and I'm a vulnerable, emotional mess. :cry: Typing on the computer is distracting me from how incapacitated I feel......Last night I took a Vicodin and today I just might have to resort to that again. I HATE feeling so frail and pathetic....I guess there's probably a lesson in there for me.

I have a call into my chiropractor's office (they were closed yesterday, dammit), so hopefully I'll get in soon for an adjustment, which usually makes all the difference.

Until then, I could really use any and all positive, healing energy sent my way. At this point, every little bit helps.


Thanks,
Shine

Please, get better soon!

:hug:

My neck has been flaky lately too. You have my full sympathy.

:hug:

:hug:

I can relate and I do hope you get to feeling better soon.

:hug:

:hug:

All my healing energies headed your way, my dear girl.....

Peace and good feelings be yours, and quickly too.......

Let there be no pain for you any more, my dear.....

:hug:
I know this, too, shall pass....it just sucks while it's here.

Get well soon. :hi:

:hug:

I hope you feel better soon. :hug:

I really appreciate the good vibes.
:hug:

Let us know when you're feeling better, OK? :hug:

The Vicodin's kickin' in, I've had a nice hot shower and I'm off to my chiropractor in a few minutes.......

I'm so grateful, in the midst of it All.......
:hug:

'cause I'm sending them your way!

and welcome to DU, btw.
:hug:

gets you in there SOON!

:hug: <-- gentle of course so as not to hurt :)

The good news is: my chiropractor's office just called a few minutes ago and I've got an appt in about an hour. Thank god.

:hug:

Should I still take a Vicodin? hmmm...

Not if you have to drive there!!

I'm glad you're seeing the Doc!


aA

Don't worry, I'll take it slow on the 10 min. drive.

Thanks for your concern and caring friendship. I feel really blessed by this sweet cyber-community.

:grouphug:

:hug:
and welcome to DU, too, btw!

Here's a *gentle* hug from a fellow neck sufferer. :hug:

:hug:
Yeah, it sucks to deal with neck issues.

I Hope You Feel Better Soon ! :hug:

:hug:
I am thankful for your warm and friendly energy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~feel better soon~~~~~~~~~~~~~


:hug:

I'm hangin' in there...
:hug:

:hug:

This too, shall pass...

I appreciate the reminder, too. Everything changes....

btw, how are YOU doing today? I was thinking of you and wondering...

:hug:

My sleep paterns, what they were, were severaly interupted... I'll be back normal in a few..

It's amazing how resilient and yet, how fragile, our bodies can be.

I hope you're feeling better soon! Take care of yourself!

but, it'll pass....

Thanks for the good wishes, cfield, and welcome to DU, too, btw!
:hi:

:hug:

:hug:

:hug:

:hug:

I hope the Vicodin helps. :hug: Has the chiropractor called yet? :hug: Take it easy and maybe try some relaxation or meditation techniques.

Let's be miserable together, shall we? :pals: Sigh....

Yes, I saw my chiropractor, yes, it helped but I'm still incredibly sore and fragile. He wants to see me again tomorrow am. Yes, I'm still wearing my stupid cervical collar. Yes, the Vicodin is starting to wear off.......

Thank god I'm not on school carpool pickup today. Going out once already was intense enough.

Sending healing vibes to you, too, sister! Hang in there.

A shout out to you, Shrine. I'm glad you're seeing your chiropractor. My guy has someone who does accupressure massage and cranial-sacral massage. I presume you know about the first. With the second, extremely light pressure at exact combinations of pressure points along the spine creates magnificent letting go, deep healing and vital rejunivation. Hey, I do all I can for my best health.

Do you do any meditating? There are a couple of easy things you could do that would edify the building and support your other things that work.

Better days are coming.

Yes, I meditate, but not in a formal way. I'm lucky to have a great chiropractor who is also an accupuncturist and knows a lot about healing.

I know this will pass, since everything changes. I really appreciate your positive vibes and the nice energy you bring to the lounge.

:hug:

We're all working on the building as I figure it. Ours and what's in the space between us. :hug:

"Shine"? Just checking....:) Cute, clever.

On the other hand, maybe it's just a typo, but since you did it twice, thought I should check. Funny.... :shrug: Whatever.

:pals:

Apparently, I'm addressing you in ways known and unknown. I'm sure it has some relevance whether it's clear or not. :hi: :)

In fact, I've been trying to consider the symbolic meaning for my neck issues. I'm pretty outspoken, by nature, so I don't think it has anything to do with a repressed communication desire.....I'm thinking it has to do with taking on too much, "sticking my neck out", so to speak. I need to be more aware of setting limits to what I do and not thinking I can do everything.

There's also value for me in letting myself feel emotionally and physically vulnerable, as uncomfortable as it is. I don't have to be strong all the time.

You're right about being vulnerable which we all are and about not having to be strong. I find that support really powerful in that it allows me to be more confident in what I do, not having to worry about getting things just so. In any case, is there anything that's giving you a pain in the neck, so to speak, these days? Is anyone trying to ram anything down your throat? Is there anything you're afraid to get nekked with? :)

and feeling overly responsible for it all. Pretty unrealistic, but there ya go. :eyes:

I'll get through it. Thanks, again, Metta, for all your good energy. I surely do appreciate it. :hug:

Yeah, being responsible can be a real burden. It's like death by 1,000 cuts. Hey, everything passes. Go well and be well. :hug:

If you don't mind me asking ,what meditations do you do? I'm thinking that you'd have fun with a simple centering and purifying ritual that had healing variables thrown in for good measure.

Hey, ... for the greater good of all concerned. We're all working on the building as I figure it. Ours and what's in the space between us. :hug:

help not be in is even worse. Many, many healing vibes on their way. :hug: <<<<That was a really gentle hug. :hi:

The good news is, I got to see my chiropractor earlier today, it helped a bit, but I'm still incredibly sore and fragile. I'm seeing him again tomorrow am. I'm so grateful, in the midst of it All.....

Thanks for your good vibes. You're a sweetie...
:hug:

:hug: Neck pain is horrible - that's the surgery I ended up having last year after about ten years of worsening pain. I'm so sorry, sweetie - I hope you get to the chiropractor.

I know how you feel about feeling frail - I HATE feeling helpless or weak. It makes me very anxious and uncomfortable. :hug:

Get better. We have a date. ;)

I'm going back to the chiropractor tomorrow. I've been taking it easy in the meantime...I must say, Vicodin has been serving its purpose well!

I'm soooo looking forward to our lunch! I'll be better by then, I'm sure.

:loveya:

I'm sending all positive and happy thoughts your way, you are always so positive yourself. Take care. :hug:

I really appreciate your caring thoughts. :hug:

BTW, did you see the new HP movie with your nephew yet? What did you think? Just curious....

:)

because it doesn't have that far to go. :hi:

Had to boost it a bit to get it over Mt. Madonna, though.

PUSH!

I have felt really blessed today by all the good energy streaming my way from this wonderful cyber-community.

:hug:

I LOVE my chiropractor.. I feel like hell the next day but then its all good after.

I hope you feel better soon! Take the pills if you need them, even if its temporary, you'll get some relief.

:hug:

Thanks sooo much for your caring thoughts and good energy. I'm going back in tomorrow for another adjustment. I'm feeling incredibly sore and fragile and the Vicodin is definitely helping.

I took a loooong nap this afternoon, too, which helped. The kids have been great and basically taking care of themselves....

:hug:

BTW, pls keep me posted on your eye situation, OK? Best to you, as well...

love prays and good thought coming your way

I am taking it easy. All the prayers and good energy are definitely helping. Thanks for your kindness and welcome to DU, btw! :hug:

Does your user name mean you are into history? Just curious...

histology, the study of tissues.:hi:

:loveya: :hug:

I really appreciate your loving kindness. Isn't this a wonderful community? I've been blown away by the generosity of everyone here...

:hug:

Redstone

I appreciate your good wishes. This, too, shall pass...in the meantime, Vicodin and sleep will help! :)

:hug:

I'm happy to say I'm doing a lot better today, after much Vicodin and lots of regenerative sleep. I'm also going back in to my chiropractor this morning and getting a massage tomorrow. My neck is still incredibly sore, but I feel blessed, in the midst of it All....

Best to you, bigwillq! :hug: I really appreciate your kindness and good energy.

Just got back from my second chiropractor's appt in two days and I'm doing much better, thank god. You shoulda heard my neck when he cracked and popped it. He got a LOT of movement out of it, which tells me I was pretty out of whack.

I'm sure all the positive vibes comin' my way from this great cyber-community helped, as well. Thanks for your good energy!
:hug:

:hug:

Doing much better, thanks to my great chiropractor, lots of Vicodin and sleep and all the good vibes comin' to me from my friends in the lounge.

I appreciate your kindness.
:hug:

I occasionally "throw" my back out and tai chi has helped a lot. (also went to an accupuncturist once, and that was surprisingly effective.)

Hope you are feeling better!

hoping you feel better soon!!

by the way is it a disc problem? I have herniated cervical discs in my neck and I do these exercises that help me immensely...prescribed by my PT guy.

Thank you kindly, sweetie. :hug:

Here, have a :beer: on me....Guiness, of course! :)

Hell, I'll join ya.... :toast:
Here's to Perfect Health, on all levels.

Shine

Lots of positive waves for you emanating from the DU universe, I think, and mine are in there with them. I wish you rapid restoration of full range of motion...and let's try to keep it that way. :hug:

I'm doing much better today, thank goodness. Vicodin, sleep, chiropractic and lots of good vibes did the trick! Not necessarily in that order! :)

I appreciate your kindness. :hug:
