It has been quite awhile since my last update and I feel bad for those who actually keep up on this and read it. A lot has been going on for me since Novemeber. I am making progress in my recovery and can do the normal walking around activities with little pain. I am still having big issues when I do any kind of physical activity though. Just before Christmas we went sledding and I did as well. Nothing to major just played in the snow and played with my daughter Alex. We went to Leavonworth after to walk around. By the time we were getting ready to go home my head and neck started to hurt. It didnt seem to let up at all even after a couple of pain pills. It got so bad I couldn't even drive at all. The next day I had a miagraine all day as well. Then again last week went roller blading along the trail for about 20 minutes. That evening the same thing started again. It's not a muscle pain but feels like it is in between my skull and spine. It is a sharp pain that just wont go away for awhile. I guess I need to take it easy still and go slowly back into to physical activities. That is such a bummer for me. I really wanted to try and get in better shape leading into the summer so I could get back on the water and ski again. Well Maybe the end of summer is a better goal. We will see.
I am starting physical Therapy up again next week to hopefully try and get some more movement in my neck and try to get the stiffness to be less.
On another topic I have gone back to school and I am studying to get my BA in secondary teaching to teach high school math. I am really excited about this and cant wait to start the program this summer.
The other big hurdle I have been dealing wiht lately is trying not to hurt so bad in the morning after sleeping so crappy. I have tried everything. New pillows, more pillows, less pillows, none. It seems to be a crap shoot every night as to how I will wake the next morning. Hopefully it will get better soon.
Have a great day until next time.
Bryan
