If it's not one thing, it's another

Just when I thought I was completely over being sick, and ready to resume my normal everyday [boring] routine, what happens? I hurt my neck.

I was fine up until about 4 AM this morning, when I awoke to make the last of my usual 2 or 3 nightly [routine] pit stops, and as I was walking back to bed, all of a sudden, I felt this excruciating (only slightly exaggerated) pain in my neck. It's like I pulled a muscle, except that I didn't do anything like that. Not even close. And the pain was almost immediate.

I laid back down in bed hoping the pain might subside, but no such luck.

So now I'm laid up again, feeling sorry for myself, alternating ice and heat, in the hopes I will be somewhat recovered by tommorrow.

I probably shouldn't be writing this post, as it's not doing my neck any good, but I thought by doing so, I could garner some well deserved sympathy. :)

Oh well, time for more ice!

My doctor recommends using ice. Put it on and keep it, first cold, then burning, then turns num. It works for me.

There's a great homeopathic (no drugs) product out there for muscle pain. It's called the THERMAPHORE which is available for $55 on AMAZON at this link : http://bit.ly/x58MAa or directly on the web. Google it!

Thanks Mike, and I would no doubt be using it, if it was currently in my possession. But it isn't, and I'm afraid by the time I forked over $55, and received it in the mail, the pain would have gone away. At least I'm hoping that is going to be the case!

Plus it's only a 2" x 4" area of my next that is hurting, so a 14" x 27" pad seems a bit oversized.

I do appreciate the thought, but for now I think I'll just stick it out and hope for the best.

History IS repeating itself

I didn't grow up during the rise and fall of Hitler and Nazi Germany, so for me to claim it feels like those are the times we are living in now, must be taken with a grain of salt. But I have seen enough movies, and read enough history to know, if the times we're living in now are not akin to the rise of a Nazism and Facism in Europe in the 1930's and 1940's, then we're not far off. If you can't see the parallels with Nazi Germany, then you must be living in a different country than me. Republicans and other right wing extremists will stop at nothing to subvert the will of the majority, forcing their beliefs, that they are the superior race and have been appointed by God, to impose their will on America, while they blame all our problems on immigrants, blacks and Jews. As I speak, Mitch McConnell, and his minions are raising roadblocks to all legislation designed to help average Americans under the guise of fiscal responsibility. They condone violent and verba...

Vaccine Mandates, what are they good for?

Not much, that's for sure! Simply showing evidence of receiving a Covid-19 vaccine (whether fake or not), does not mean you are protected from getting Covid-19, nor spreading it, if infected. We are all different, and too many of us, i.e. people who are immunocompromised/ immunosupressed, the elderly, or others for various reasons, do not [cannot] mount an immune response as good as younger and healthier individuals. What is evidence of immunity is a quantitative antibody test showing you have developed antibodies, and to what degree, either from natural immunity or the vaccine.  That is what we should be testing for. That is what is important. But for too long, many, i.e. the FDA, doctors, and other health experts discouraged people (and still are) from getting antibody tests, because there was little knowledge about what level of antibodies are needed to impart immunity to the virus. That of course is true, to some extent, but how can we ever find out [learn] the a...

Open letter to all Democrats

Stop the nonsense! Continuing to go after Trump, without any hope of getting a conviction, does nothing more than provide Republicans with an obstructionist dialogue (now that they have come up with the unconstitutional talking point) in addition to giving Trump much needed publicity, when we should be ignoring him. It's the pure definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different result! Instead Democrats need to be laser focused on what is important to all Americans, i.e. healthcare, Social Security and Medicare, infrastructure reform, the Covid-19 vaccine rollout, to name just a few. And when you do talk about Trump, simply steer the conversation as to how the Trump administration botched everything, how Trump is responsible for the deaths of 400,000+ Americans, due to his inaction and the down playing of the pandemic, plus the deaths of 2 Capitol policeman during the insurrection Trump provoked and incited on January 6, 2021. ...
