I did pretty good Monday at work, made it until about 4:30. Tuesday I had to work all day, and hurt so bad Tuesday night because of it. Then Wednesday went great, no pain or discomfort. Until...
Late Wednesday night I started really hurting, worse than I had the whole recovery time. And my neck was swollen and a band was sticking out - like I was one of those aliens with a ring around its neck. I didn't sleep at all, and couldn't turn my head very far. Same thing Thursday morning. I missed work and slept off and on until 2pm. Thank goodness Thursday night was much better, and so was today!
I went to the doctor (same guy who took out my staples, Dr. S is on vacay still) this morning to make sure I wasn't turning into an alien or something, and he reassured me that I was fine. Turns out it's the muscle that Dr. S cut and moved around and then had to attach back together. It's healing, and although it sticks out and feels funny (feels tender and hard when I touch it), it's normal. He also suggested I start on Motrin 3x/day with meals to help with the discomfort. So I just popped a couple and am crossing my toes that I'll sleep well (I can't cross my fingers while I'm typing, or who knows what would come out).
TGIF - I'll be able to rest this weekend! Hoping to play in my scrap room some :)
