Trigger point therapy

Today I went to an anesthesiologist to have an anesthesia ( similar to Novocaine) injected into four spots on my neck into the muscle.  Goal is to numb them so I can able to due some more stretches.  What an experience.  My neck hurt, felt dizzy and nauseous.  I have to stretch every 30 minutes and then I went to the physical therapist, that also stretched out my neck.  I felt horrible.  So much for an afternoon off from work.  Just sort of hanging out.

Headache news.

Well, after visiting the neurologist and the physical therapist, the  answer is quite simply, I have bad posture.  It is causing my muscles in my neck and head  to work when they shouldn't.  I have not had a migraine in two months.  What a relief.  And also no more Topomax which took my energy away.  I am starting to feel so much better.

Weight Loss

This is the second week.  I lost one pound.  Hip, hip hooray.  It is such a nice feeling.

Gardening Boxes

This was a fun enrichment project our Ward did.  The wood was donated and I cut the wood with the help from others, mainly Jeff, Dad and Dave and on a thursday night the boxes were assembled by many women.  It was so much fun.  Discovered that the air nailer was a hit.  I used mine in the front yard.  I am so happy I am able to use tools.

7 things about me

I have also been tagged by Karen, so I will try to note some things about me.
1. I love to stay busy, especially with things that I can create. This has always been true of me.
2. I love to float in my mind while listening to music. Music has a strong power over me.
3. I like to be thought of kindly. What people think of me really matters.
4. I like to serve other people, sometimes as simple as giving a card.
5. I can be impulsive which can get me into trouble. Sometimes I need to take a moment and think before I proceed.
6. I am a nature lover, if I had my way I would be outside all the time. There is so much to enjoy in this beautiful earth we live on. Although, I have a slight fear of the water, which means a cruise would not be a treat for me.
7. I adore old movies. They are the best. The story line can be more dramatic and pure without all the 'stuff' they add to the movies today. I am a succor for old romance movies, with actors like Cary Grant etc.
