Aug. 24, 2016 - Strained Neck                          13 Days Pre-Op

8/31/2016

I did not heed my own advice, and like a fool, exercised again yesterday. As a result, this morning I awoke with severe pains down my neck and upper back. I am in so much pain I am confined to bed all day with the children waiting on me and scolding me to relax until the surgery is over.

But I am scolding myself as well because this latest injury will no doubt result in my having to cancel my last event before the surgery which I had been eagerly looking forward to - a workshop with the BBC on the 26th. What's worse, my youngest daughter is turning 10 today and we are due to have a small gathering in the evening.

I take painkillers and manage to grin through the birthday dinner and the sheering pain in my back for 3 hours, after which time I give up my bravado and announce that I must go to bed. 

Later, as I drift off to sleep, grimacing with each twitch of my body, I vow to rest all these next few days, cancelling what I must to rest and regain my health.
