`Your thinking differently...Its OK...Let me explain...
....One must Relax..in a special... comfortable place...loosen-up ...clear their mind...then...turn their mind to a fresh page...Then "Imagine"..."envision" ...paint that mental `action` picture and *focus on what results they desire....
*Its never easy at first..with practice ...strong desire / tenacity ....Things do begin to happen...`starts every so often`...then..the more they do ...the stronger one becomes...I recommend using this earned gift (if and when attained...) for good and harmless occasions ...
Think `as you may` with my statement above...but...I can assure you ..I am comfortable with it...
Day 16 of this stupid pain. I went to the Emergency Room over the weekend because of the pain not allowing me to sleep. About two hours of sleep per day for several days and I became a zombie. The diagnosis was cervical radiculopathy, a fancy name for pinched nerve. I have been getting deep tissue massages and they are helping some. But mostly the pain medication is the best thing as it allows me to sleep for several hours.
Anyway, things could be a whole lot worse. Millions of people suffer more every day than I am.
I am now into the fifth week of this. Mostly the pain is gone and I can continue with a normal life just as it is, even if it doesn't improve. It IS improving day by day. I came down with some sort of bug Sunday and have been sick for a couple of days. But at least I am not in the pain I was in. My thumb, index and middle fingers on my right hand are still numb.
Anyway, if you have never had a pinched nerve, pray that you never get it. Overall, this will make me a better nurse because I have learned even more about the human body...by personal experience. Sometimes you just don't know how other people are suffering.

“You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colin." Need I say more?” - Chris Rock
Week eight. The pain is gone but my fingers are still numb, though not as much so.
I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

You need to see a neurologist. I am sure you know this. Maybe they can help you. Prayers @Perianne
We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language, for we intend to see that the crucible turns our people out as Americans, of American nationality, and not as dwellers in a polyglot boarding-house; and we have room for but one soul loyalty, and that is loyalty to the American people. ~Theodore Roosevelt~
Today is the beginning of week ten. Some numbness still in the thumb, index and middle fingers of the right hand, but no pain whatsoever. I am happy to have what little damage I have from this incident. I feared I would not live until Christmas.
