Oh, OW. I seem to have pinched a nerve in my neck flipping hair out of my eyes. Can't turn head or look down without shooting pain down into my left shoulder. Any recommendations, or do I just have to wait for it to resolve itself?

If you open this, I will have just cause to sue you, AND you will need to go to confession. Come back later.

I endorse this sign option.

And I hope you told him that.

Her. She should definitely know better. On all matters she drives me up a wall because she's such a micro-manager. Her emergency this time was because an electronic database does not have her middle initial in her author profile and she came down to tell me I needed to get them to change it. She's also just ordered me to do something else "today." I just wrote to her that I will try, but it's a busy week and that keeping my door open for all but one hour of the day (so I can pump breast milk) means I will be interrupted by students with homework assignment questions and things might not get done. I did not add, "Bitch", but it was really, really hard not to do so.

I was PUMPING BREAST MILK FOR FUCKS SAKE AND I DO NOT HAVE TO CHECK WITH YOU TO SEE IF IT IS CONVENIENT FOR ME TO DO SO.

What a jackass. I mean, would she prefer to have walked in on you?

Glam, the weirdest and most vivid dreams I ever had in my LIFE were when I was pregnant. Hormones make you dream the wacky.

Any recommendations, or do I just have to wait for it to resolve itself?

Depends how bad it is. I trap nerves a lot, because I'm always subluxing joints. For a nerve in the neck, I force myself to turn my head up and down, left and right until the nerve has realigned itself. This is ridiculously painful, but saves a lot of later pain.

But if it's very bad, you're better off keeping it relatively still until it realigns.

Heck, I'm female and I would feel uncomfortable walking in on someone pumping breast milk. Yes I have 'em and yes I've seen 'em, but unless the pumper whips out the machinery in the middle of the cube farm, I'm going to assume the pumping process is a private moment.

Sparky, if she'll show any bitterness about this, I suggest you'll offer her to pump the milk from you while you'll sort this Very Important Crisis for her.

Jesus, people.

Jeebus, Sparky- she needs a good thwacking with the Clue by Four o'Decency.

And maybe a lesson or twelve in interpersonal relations.

This week is shaping up to need a Smiting Squad.

smonster, I can only add a suggestion for Advil. And an ice pack, if available.

And anything relating to breat feeding deserves, at minimum, discretion.

I am at jury service. Dammit.

Seska, does it "pop" or just slowly return to normal when you put it through a range of motion?

I've taken Aleve. Tried lying down on the floor but that didn't seem to be helping. I could probably locate an ice pack...

Sean, I'm sorry this is ruining your day off. No fair.
