I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Congratulations, amych! Yay grad school!
Hivemind: Pinched nerve in neck -- ice or heat? I stepped into the shower just fine and stepped out unable to turn my head to the left without tingling, nasty nerve pain.
Oh, lovely hot shower, why hast thou forsaken me?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
We've taken to you so strong!
it's clear we're going to get along!

Wow. I'm so bored that I think I'm going to spend an hour trying to figure out how to work the scanner. Just as soon as I imbibe more caffeine.

It seems to me that newfan (Bronzer; physical therapist) told me not to ice my neck, if I was pretty sure it was a pinched nerve. I don't suppose you have a cervical collar, handy? Those help the most. They stretch everything back out.
I am sending nasty eyebeams to your shower, though. That ain't right. Did you have to reach high to adjust the shower, or do something wonky when you were rinsing your hair or something?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Congrats, amych!
So while I'm waiting for my ex-boss to get back to me on whether my resume is up to snuff for current standards or not, do I sit on it, or do I send out my possibly crappy resume? I worry that doing the latter is going to turn off some potential employers. But on the other hand, I wonder what opportunities I might miss out on by sitting on my duff while I wait.

AmyLiz, I'd say heat. Cold is for inflammation and swelling (to reduce it).
Shrift, it's your fault that I'm now downloading Ok Go.

Ack! Oliver earworm!
I don't have a cervical collar, Cindy. I have some of that Icy Heat cream, though.
I don't know what I did, either. A pinched nerve isn't worth it unless you've been indulging in contortions of the most pleasurable kind.
Which I wasn't. Alone. In the shower.

Which I wasn't. Alone. In the shower.You know for an writer/editor, you're playing pretty fast and loose with the punctuation, and making me think things I hadn't been thinking.
Take ibuprofen or your anti-inflammatory of choice, too. If you can (oh-so) gently stretch it from time to time (no bouncy movements, no straining) it might help some. When you go to bed tonight, try to finagle your pillows so you're sleeping with some support under your neck.
My deepest sympathies. I know what it feels like and it's awful. My mother's dealing with it right now, too. She's finally called her doctor, because it's been going on for weeks, and I even gave her one of my collars.

I'm not going to apologize for ridiculously catchy pop songs, or choreographed dudes on treadmills.
