Good morning! I just want to ask for some positive thoughts today. I have a procedure this morning to help with my neck. See, as a market vendor one never knows what they are personally going through. A customer sees a person just selling their items.
I'm very transparent and I have struggled with chronic neck pain and a pinched nerve on my left side for almost 14 years. I was just diagnosed with two bulging disc's and arthritis in my C6-C7 & C7-T1. My wonderful doctor helped with a tendon sheath in my shoulder to help loosen the neck muscle recently. Today's procedure is a bit more tedious. I will be sedated for the injection in my neck.
Am I scared? Maybe a little? Maybe a lot? I'm going in with a positive attitude. Afterwards I am looking forward to no longer struggling with my pillows. Yes, I have every cervical neck pillow only to find out they caused all the headaches. I haven't had a good night's rest in 13 years. Because I am constantly worried about waking up with a stiff neck.
If you ever had one so bad where it felt like you were being electrocuted within. Then you understand why I fear sleep. I was not able to care for myself at the time as a 37 young woman. (14 years ago) is when it first began.
For me now to be able to work markets has been hard, but it's something I absolutely love. Thanks to Sam for giving me that opportunity at my first market. I will persevere.
I know this was a long post. I just want to share my health update. And ask for a little positive thoughts.
